What happens at the brick wall at the end of the end game of EQ should be the very least concern for anyone involved in a permanently time locked velious server. once you hit 60, who gives a shit.

It's all about everyone going from 1-60 having a good time. Nothing can be done to help the madness that is the raid scene at the end of the road. It has typically been given highest priority on p99 and all other serves, when the reality is that it is the least important thing to worry about. Individuals suffering from these psychosis will find ways to play the end game elite uber version of EQ to their grim satisfaction, while people from level 1-59 actually want to enjoy the journey of the game.

If everyone just wanted to raid with minimum contesting they could migrate a team to red99 and do so. Make the game better, not worse.

Take it to its logical conclsuion, blue 1.0, green 1.0, green 2.0, green 3.0, all with 100population of contented permanent raiders while green 4.0 is beginning its 3 year journey to the abyss.

I don't even know why there is a discussion about this. It was the original intent of green to feed into blue, and it is the only logical solution.

The population can support a legacy PVE server, and a timeline PVE server, it can also support a legacy PVP server, and a timeline pvp server. THe timeline servers ultimately dump into the legacy server before the new timeline server is created. It keeps the player characters permanent and it allows people to continue to enjoy the eq journey from level 1-50 and then from 50-60

The only 3rd server I would wish for would be a vanilla locked red server in addition to the timeline progression + legacy servers. Vanilla is such a short part of EQ. Blue got a long time with vanilla which was great for them, but red followed mostly the classic timeline regarding kunark launch.

I like when human monks are the only monks, and they have no armor.

Amen to vanilla

Kunark was good. The numbers were to hardcore tho.

No thanks, top end too busy. Make a new server, spread the pop out. Rather have too few than too many (just not Red levels of too few)

Lol green is not too heavy? What are you smoking if you think that

I wholeheartedly agree. Some of my most fun adventures have been when I've had no aim to achieve them in the first place. I think having Red be Vanilla would be an interesting twist, though obviously its been around too long to fairly do such a thing.

No I meant combining the two is too heavy. No matter how bad Green is now obviously combining them is going to be that much worse

p99 was a mistake

I should have just stuck with runescape

I remember when my lame friends were playing runescape after I played eq for 2 years.

They were clicking on some rock doing mining. I've never felt so pridefully superior in my life. In retrospect I was a total asshole but it is a pretty junk game.

I really liked the early flash / browser version of zelda that came out around 2000 also.

Imagine the chaos and fragmentation of guild compositions when Green merges to Blue? I for one know many people who raid on both... Where will their allegiances fall post merger? THE CHAOS!!!

Everyone seems to have forgotten that we're going to have Green 2.0 when this happens. I'd wager that the bulk of P99 raiders aren't going to stay on Blue/Old Green ... they're going to migrate to Green 2.0.
