Default Extend Kunark to 12 months

Kunark only lasted about 7½ months, and by all accounts, the same will be the case here. That's a really short time for what many consider the best era of Everquest, and once Velious comes out, Kunark content becomes mostly obsolete aside from epics because of the huge leap in itemization. Epics come out just two months before Velious, and VP keys tend to take months to obtain so that content is also effectively available only for a short while during Kunark.

I really think it would be good for the server to extend Kunark to 12 months. P99 has only three eras, and Kunark just ends up being so brief in the grand scheme of things. Velious is forever so there's really no need to rush to it. With the projected timeline for green, almost nobody will even have a chance to get their epic before Velious, or to see VP while it's still current content.

Is it classic? No, but neither is infinite Velious.

What do you think?

I'd like to nominate we extend kunark for 7 years.
Relive the classic blue experience!


I think it's a bad idea to extend kunark on green, P99 Blue was in kunark for 7 years.
This had several negative side effects on the server. More level 60s, plat inflation and more raid geared characters. This means when Velious came out, people quickly rushed for end game content because many had multiple level 60s that were kunark twinked. I believe 4-5 months extra in kunark would affect the classic feel of velious.

Following the classic timeline as closely as possible is what I'm hopeful of.
Voted in the poll

Edit: Epics come out at the end of kunark, meaning if kunark was extended more people could get their epics before velious.
This would be NOT CLASSIC and I now believe OP has ulterior motives.
By adding 4 months, that would more than double the number of epics/raid loot on p99 green when velious comes out compared to the classic timeline.
(Apr 2021 Epic | Jul 2021 Velious)

Edit2: This would also mean extending the hybrid exp penalty for another 4 months. Yuck!

I do think 12 months makes sense. Yes blue had kunark for way too long, that doesn't mean 12 months is the same thing; it's only 4 months longer than the original release. 4 months longer is not the same thing as multiple years longer.

No no, kunark being 7 and half months is interesting. The POINT is to have a lot of kunark things that haven't been done yet by the time Velious comes out.

That way velious things will be even harder. Truly a new land of great riches....and great dangers.

Everyone won't have their epics. Everyone won't have their top spells. Everyone won't be in the best equipment.

And both kunark and velious will still have plenty of upgrades for people to go after. And people will be forced to split their time between the two.

You knew what you signed up for, changing the timelines is going against the most fundamental concept of green in the first place.

Shorten it by 7 months - then it's a real challenge to see who can win Everquest on an even shorter timeline.
