Default Is this green server a real thing?

Hey all,

Loved original EQ from way back and excited to spin up a new toon with my wife in the next couple of weeks.

I was reading a post on here (can't find it now) and they mentioned a fresh green-cycled server? Just rumors or something on the roadmap?

Would be just like old times to start new somewhere. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's not just "a real thing", it's the entire point of the project (1999).

The goal of Project 1999 is to recreate classic EverQuest, and the Blue server is not classic. For instance, it spent seven years on Kunark, whereas live spent just one. Blue is that way for a reason: essentially it's the "beta test" server where the devs can test out their code in anticipation of someday using it on a truly classic server (ie. "Green", although the staff don't call it that).

But, as far as the "roadmap" goes, there's still the rest of Chardok 2.0, some smaller patches that came after it, and (most importantly) everything the devs have kicked down the road for the past ten years, but want to get fixed before they release Green.

No one but them knows how much time all that will take, but it's pretty safe to say that Green is still years away. Until then, maybe join ALS and/or just appreciate the very-close-to-classic Blue server we do have [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So if Green server ever comes around to becoming reality, then what will happen to blue? Will it go away? Will there be a reset? Hopefully we don't lose all of our hard earned characters played over these years!

Custom content to the server is a possibility.. I know it has not been ruled out.. But who knows!!

Blue would get deleted at that point, so its a good reminder to not get too emotionally invested in your avatar.

Announced at the EQ thing going on at the comic con museum this weekend. However, DBG bought the rights to the code and there will be a daybreak/krono shop.

Don't troll the new folks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Since the project's early days the staff has been extremely against character wipes (perhaps because no wipes of any sort ever happened in classic EQ). Therefore, it seems extremely unlikely that any characters will be removed from even the virtually dead Red sever, let alone the extremely popular Blue server.

Instead Blue and Green will likely co-exist, with people playing on Green for the true classic experience, and playing on Blue:
  • because they have established characters there
  • because Blue has Kunark/Velious (remember Green won't even have Velious for half it's life)
  • for any custom content the devs decide to add to it
