I just want to be there at the start or close to the start. I still love P99 but it isn't quite the experience I remember. Of course there will be people who blow through the pre-kunark content but the vast majority won't.

It will also be interesting to see pure classic race/class combos, i.e. not easy mode(iksar) necro/monks.

More to the point...some people actually like progression. I don't necessarily want to sock a guise, but I do want to be in a guild in scrappy gear trying to solo Naggy the first time, when we're all 50s doing the encounter the way it was designed to be done.
Unfortunately, just like red, unless you're in the top guild with time to invest you will never get to do Nagafen with a scraggly group of ragtags in banded armor. Within a month the hardest crews will be 50 and have batphones going out whenever he spawns. Green isn't the savior people are looking for. No matter the server, time invested in Everquest = you win.

Not trying to say it's a good or bad thing, just how it is.

I understand the point you're trying to make, but it's very mistaken if you think P99 is the epitome of 'elitist' and only here can people be anal about camping certain loot.

Furthermore, I can accept your point about how the top people on Blue will be hte top people on Green if they decide to roll on it. Sure. But why does that even matter? It's a new economy. There isn't the enormous glut of platinum and items that there is now. Hell, until Kunark releases and people get access to Sebilis there isn't even that much raw platinum entering the system.

I realize some people may not have seen the post, but Rogean has stated it has always been the plan to do this once they'd finished writing all the patches.

Here's the direct quote from nilbog. Please pay attention to the bolded part:

Cute and idealistic (things that don't exist on p99). As someone who has played since 2010, I can confirm, Thulack is 1000% right. The same people will control everything. The first person high enough to camp the contested items will just pass camp between guildies for the life of the item. Sure, it had gotten better on p99. But if you think a manastone(purely for holding onto and selling later) doesn't get 90% of the neckbeards hard then we play on very different servers.

This is exactly why Phinigel is popular. Keep preaching it though. Green will be .0001% different from Blue we play on now. All the exact same people getting and hoarding the exact same items. Legit there will be no difference. Same with raid targets etc.

C'mon people, you have to realize that EQ, even with its vast sandbox world and crazy time investment to level, is not designed to entertain you forever. No game is. Eventually you're going to get to the point where you either need to start over (e.g. do things that are "repetitive") with a new toon or move on to another game. We've all been doing this for a long time, so yes it feels repetitive if you keep doing the same things over and over again and follow the guides/min-max ways to progress your character.

Again, it's a SANDBOX game- it's up to you to make it interesting. And when it's not any more, then do something else for a while. But that doesn't mean its a POS game and anyone that plays it is a retard. That's just your perspective because you've literally exhausted yourself on playing a game for longer than it's intended to entertain you.

This is the ultimate reason another server will not be made - Daybreak's cuckholding of Rogean.
