Just think if you could go back to the P99 team when they released blue and say to them, hey in 10 years your server is still going to be going strong and you'll release a 2nd server then.

If only they knew the beast they created

Hasn't this always been the plan, regards of how popular the server may or may not have been?

Nope. Iksar are Kunark. Bit of a shame of course since they are the master race, but it will slightly help deviate the races since the necros won't be able to minmax.

I mean aside from all the ogres. Oh god the ogres.



Imagine wanting to play a social MMO but not wanting any other players on the game. Oh wait you could play any MMO since 2004.

It was actually really funny the first time around on Blue.

All of the Warriors were Human and Barbarian that got to 50 early.
All of the Shamans were Barbarian or Troll that got to 50 early.
I don't think there was a Shadowknight who got to level 50 very quickly.

Zeldak (server first level 50 Ogre) was a Shaman who got to 50 like weeks after the initial rush of 50s. Ogres were very underrepresented at the Blue launch and it was kind of confusing.

EDIT: I just wanted to add some other thoughts.

The launch of blue was incredible, and honestly the people that were playing were (for the most part) awesome people. Everyone was pretty good at letting people experience things and get loot.

I played a Cleric launch day up until about level 33. Realized I hated not being able to solo well, so I quit that character and re-rolled a Shaman. I then leveled a Shaman from 1-34. Yet I was able to approach the EE camp and take over the camp less than 40 minutes later. Zeldak and I each got 1 Manastone, and passed the camp off to the next person.

No one was perma-camping it. I mean Penoy was bound at the EE camp and killed it whenever he died or gated, but people really just kind of let people get it. It was the same story for Rubicite Breastplate, or any Rubicite piece. People were really good at just handing it off to one another.

I fully expect Green to be very greedy and the overall experience to be slightly tainted compared to my experiences on Blue 10 years ago. The overall attitude of people on the server has changed dramatically.

That being said, I still think Green will be a ton of fun, and I think people are crazy for deciding to stick to Blue. Content is done for the timeline. Everything that is there is gonna be there forever. Why not have fun and experience the timeline in the frenzy that will be Green?

There needs to be a custom scripted quest where if a character has been logged as looting 2 or more manastones tried to loot another then Mithaniel Marr unveils himself and no Rez DTs the looter.

If they have been logged as looting 4+ you get no rez DTed and corpse rotted.

Not classic



...but I like it. Keeps immersion strong and the server clean

@Wenai

You just reminded me. I had just got my necro high enough to solo EE and the stone was taken out. I was really bummed, since the point in making him was to farm gear for the cleric I would later make.... Which was now going to be stoneless

I think Doug may need to make an appearance...

Yessssss. You sure you don't want Jify to turn in Greater Lightstones and get your exp rolled back because Aeolwind accidentally made the quest give 10x more exp than it was supposed to? (At least I think that was Jify)

@Wenai Thanks for that story down nostalgia lane. I expect a ton of min/max ogres this time around and people being toxic over loot.

The cool thing is there are still people like you around to continue the legacy. Specifically, I'm asking you to farm me a manastone.
