Greens sounds so pleasant

It's like they took a face value look at Warriors versus Shadowknights/Paladins and said "These are warriors who can use magic, it should be more difficult to level them".

As if they didn't understand early on that they were comparing apples to oranges.

I like it. It creates a meta where warriors and rogues are more common than the mystical hybrids.

I'm not sure on this but I think the idea of hybrids needing more exp dates back to D&D games. I think the point of hybrid getting an exp penalty in RPGs is that they should technically shine in late game and be the most powerful characters. In a MMORPG that doesn't really work and things are instead based on roles and balance.

The real reason I'm in this thread now. What the hell is this Green server going to be about? Is there a definitive statement from Devs on what the server rules will be? Is there any talk of a new PvP server now that we know there isn't this secret daybreak agreement keeping the server from opening new servers?

We know for certain that Blue P1999 won't be scrubbed. Well, 98%+ certain it won't happen due to promises made back at the server's launch. The big thing that's up in the air is if Green's character base will be dumped into Blue at the end of it's Velious run which was originally talked about, or if a new server for dumping Green accounts will happen and Green will recycle back into classic for a new run.

Until we know that part, it's tough to call how much Green will impact the P1999 project.

Word is from people who were at the convention, that the rest of the chardok patch is coming very soon and they will announce more info around the same time.

Why would they open another PvP server when the one we have is deserted?

This is probably the only non-classic thing I'd agree with. But consider that Green is the fruition of Nilbog & Rogeans 10 year effort of recreating true classic EverQuest.

"True classic EverQuest" will never, ever happen by trying to implement the exact coding from back then. People play the game completely different; they know how to abuse all the mechanics and exactly where everything drops and how the NPC's behave.

The only way to get "True classic EverQuest" back is to change the game code itself, so that players need to discover things again and will approach their characters as if they were playing D&D, as was intended with EQ.

People think the experience is going to be better lol. It's going to be even worse than blue. Less zones to spread 1500 people over. The same raid antics. The same economy minus some duped plat. The same GM decisions. The same people crying. And the little guys are going to get even less loot than they're getting now because a lot of old neckbeards will be back to play, and the current ones are going to play even harder. The fresh start will be fun, but don't get it twisted.

Hope this helps.
