Is P99 green still one day a plan?

Since Kunark development, we have used a rule-based system when developing content and code. What this means is the work needed to add/remove timeline features only has to be done once, and a rule applied for the era.

For example, when a server is released (original eq launch date: march 1999), rubicite and manastones should drop until ~October 1999. When a new server is launched, all that is necessary is to set the correct era rules. The era switches allow us to apply rules to spawns, loottables, items, spells, doors, tradeskills, etc so they may be enabled/disabled without even a patch.

It has been, and still is the plan to release a timeline correct server a certain amount of time after Velious is complete.Velious still lacks 2 zones; Stonebrunt and Chardok revamp. There are patches between and after those times which need to be developed.

(emphasis mine)

EDIT: I think it may have come in audio form, possibly from this (but I'm too lazy to watch the whole thing to find out)

Seems an optimistic timeframe, but I'm looking forward to it.

Timeline update: Asgard 4.0 first Vulak --> Chardok 2.0 --> Apocalypse --> Core raid suspended on Green 99 --> Green 99 launch. The world gets a reboot before your elf-lives do.

This made me chortle out loud.

Discord would have been a lot of work for a server that nobody would play on after a couple weeks. I remember Verant tried to open a discord server during kunark era, i think and they took it down after a week. Was super fun for an afternoon though.

If they do Green, I wouldn't expect it until after the last patch comes out for blue.

Fake news. That's not what happened with the discord server. It was a honey pot to test bugs and exploits. There was hackers running wild pretty soon after it started and it ruined the server.

Could someone explain what a discord server is?

Discord is a chat program like skype or teamspeak but 1000x better.

I know about that, but it sounded like they were talking about something else. What would a discord server have to do with hackers?
