sometimes blue dips below 100 players

There's a flaw in your reasoning: the Daybreak agreement preceded Green's release. That means P99 had two servers, they signed the (secret) deal with Daybreak ... and then they went and released a brand new server.

Plus, even if that secret agreement did cap P99 at three servers, it wouldn't be a relevant limit. The staff only needs two servers to realize their vision: a "Classic" "recycle" server (ie. Green) that lasts 3-4 years and then resets, and a "Classic+" server (ie. Blue) where all the recycle server players get sent every time it recycles. Both servers already exist.

Now, none of us knows what's in the agreement ... but we do know R&N signed it to safeguard the future of P99 ... not to kill it. So, it seems far, far more likely that the lack of a new Gold/Green 2.0 server falls entirely on Rogean and Nilbog's shoulders, not Daybreak's.

(And in their defense, new servers are a lot of work; they discovered just how much when they launched Green.)

Any review of my post history proves finding a good point or argument is like finding a neutrino in a frozen cave at the South Pole: you *might* find one. That "we might have found one" is your best case.

Loramin and a few others meanwhile keep making the sane points. Just thought I would note for the record books. Some people have the patiene of a saint.

Progress blue to luclin and then PoP. ded server anyway

It is time

This is the only way. A meta shakeup will only bring back a limited number of players. New content release would bring back a hell of a lot more existing players and even new players.

Devs here keep releasing patches with content timeline updates that are prior to the current timeline on blue or green or red, so they obviously intend to release a new server at some point or there would be zero reason to do that.

Wait more than 100 still log in?

It’s time to at the minimum, merge blue and green. The fact that there are like 200-300 people online at most hours of the day is proof enough we need this to happen. Why have two dead servers that serve as just raid emulators? Merge the two and at least gain some of the population back.

Dev don't care what players want, it's their project and if it had 0 players they would keep chugging on making it semi-classic.

If daybreak wanted to nuke this thing they have a funny way of showing it.

When nintendo wants to nuke something they do it like same day.

that's what ive been saying for a decade

they really don't care, their game is free to play too, if people really wanted to play it they would. Fan servers keep the brand recognition from dying out, and all most us have at least bought a krono in the last few years.

The question is, how many would come back from the ezmode servers if there was a merge of blue/green and fresh recycle server launched? Once they've tasted those basically free zero-effort pixels, would they want to put in the time anymore?
