Completely new player here. Never played EQ or P99, trying to get setup for Green Launch to try the game out. Will there be any different patches needed to download, or can the upcomming green server be accessed with an install of the game that can connect to the current blue server?

Cheers

Make a character with the name on Blue.

Rogean has said that they've figured out a way to juggle things such that you'll only need one installation, and it will automatically switch between the "blue code" and the "green code" based on which server you pick.

They'll likely be a patch you need to apply, but other than that everyone should just have Green available as a server.

DUDE. Great solution! Seriously did not see something like this coming.
I agree, I love this idea, but i also like my circa 2005 secondary hot bar which apparently is too far away from classic to allow. When did lists enter the game? I didnt get to play classic and stopped playing live more than 10 expacks ago.

Not trolling, just wondering which is farther away from classic.

thanks for any replies

They both were never in the game, and at the same time have always been there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Here's the thing: live had paid GMs, ie. salaried employees whose only job it was to serve EverQuest players. They had at least one per server, plus on top of that they had a bunch more "guides", ie. players who volunteered to do customer service work in exchange for free playtime.

By definition, P99 can't have either of those, because they're not allowed to charge players to play here. This means that what we have instead is a very few, very kind, 100% volunteers, who generously give some of their free time to help players who fall through the world or get in fights with each other.

Speaking of fights, back in the day on live those paid CS people used to resolve fights by ... you guessed it: lists. Don't believe me? Read the instruction manual Verant gave their GMs/Guides back in the day: http://wiki.project1999.com/Kunark_E...ice_Guidelines

So while /list is a 100% P99 mechanism, and only exists because we don't have paid staff, what it does is 100% classic (and honestly Verant probably would have done the same thing if they thought of it: remember they didn't even realize they needed a Play Nice Policy until Kunkark, so they clearly didn't anticipate player fights over camps being as common).

Will the classic UI be in place at launch, as in the one on the tutorial disc?

So I have read you should be able to access both blue and green without having to install anything separately, can anyone confirm this is true? I have not tried BETA.

If I start a character now on green BETA will it get erased at launch?
