Has there been any recent chatter re. green server?

[Erati]

The best way to implement this would be with pick zones which I know is no where close to classic but the vibe I get when I see 'Green' talk is not so much about playing pure classic EQ mechanically but rather being able to experience pure classic EQ progression.

you cannot experience it if there are 300 people in Greater Faydark fighting over cracked staffs - do the right thing.

I didn't start playing on live until Velious, but when the game first launched (or when new servers were added during the classic era) weren't there 300 people fighting over cracked staffs in Greater Faydark?

What are you, some kinda commie? Clearly you need to read more about the libertarian theory advocated by the Neriak School of Economics.

300 live players from yesteryear aint got nothing on the chaotic force of elves that will inhabit the Green99 server. If casuals think they will be getting the classic EQ experience they have been dreaming of since finding this server, they will unfortunately have to keep dreaming as this is gonna be one hell of an entertaining cluster-f.

You must not have been around for Agnarr's release, a good forecast of the things to come with Green99.

Heres a hint - no one will have fun with the #s that will be in each zone, hopefully they think ahead and implement ways to share.

It would be really cool if they launched two Green servers initially, then merged them after a few months when the population calms down. Given how much work just one Green server will be though (plus how much work a second would be, plus how much work all the splitting/combining would be) I just don't see the staff having the time or energy for that.

I've been genuinely disappointed that I missed out on P99's initial launch, and a Green server will scratch that itch for me, I think.

You didn't miss much. There weren't a lot of people and hardly anything worked correctly. P99 has come a long way. A "recycle" server should be a much better experience.

Agnarr sounded terrible so I wasn’t around for it , correct.
A new server here will be a clusterfuck for a few weeks and then it’ll calm down. No need to worry , same as all new games/servers/expansions.
