[Exard3k]

I'm fine with green and love the server population. But I'm EU timezone and got more people to play with.

Started the largest player-made poll in P99 history. Sounds like a W to me.

Devs gonna pull the trigger, soon™

Even if they don't, I still started a movement.

You didnt start any movements, and still havent accomplished anything with your life either.

Keep trying tho.

Thanks Bigsham. Glad to know we got at least one resident psychic.

Or just another person projecting [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

More votes in this thread than players online right now.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

[cd288]

Everyone is back to work now as states re-open

[Entee]

Even though 72% of the votes are for reopening of Teal... is there any chance they'd actually do it?

The Devs have shown vast determination to persist in the current direction despite the deafening outcry from a super majority of Green. It's almost commendable.

But will they shun precious Iksarian tears of every monk, necro, shaman, and SK lizard when Kunark goes live?

Will they consign all the young reptilians to be prisoners of their own devices in the empty empty depths of Kurns?

Will they leave the intentionally-old-GPU true-blue classic players in an unplayable state due to being surrounded by hundreds of other other players which neither their GPU can process nor their CRT display anyway?

Say it ain't so.

Teal sounds nice for a few months of Kunark, but I doubt it happens unless the server has an absolutely massive spike in interest. Even with 2k playing many are going to be packing into 50+ loot/leveling zones with enough space and divergent paths (xp, loot, keys, quest items, legacy items, faction for Chardok and hammers) that the crush shouldn't be terribly burdensome on any particular places like it was in the newbie yards for launch. It will be crowded yes, but crowded in general is a good thing (to a degree) for making the server feel alive and active.

With so many of the current player base likely to decide they want to grind their mains/50's the Iksar starting area shouldn't be too crazy. Anyone who IS rolling Iksar day one just helps to alleviate the load on higher level zones. Overall the population will be a more self limiting factor spread across all of Kunark+classic+Hole than it was when they opened teal. It is also entirely possible that opening day population is more like 1500 tops and quickly subsiding as time goes on.

Incidentally, no one is going to believe you have anything but ulterior motives for wanting this. I don't blame you, I'd rather have less contested camps and a less toxic raid scene too. But Teal isn't coming back, and you don't have any more noble purpose in banging the drum so hard for it. Just drop the pretense at this point and be honest about why you want two servers so badly.
