Has there been any recent chatter re. green server?

[skarlorn]

To answer OP, there's a new thread nilbog posted about being very close to chardok revamp. This should signal the final patch to close out the development of p99 blue server!

Hopefully, the staff will take a break. They have worked a long time to get here and we've enjoyed that progress incrementally! I imagine green will be out no sooner than end of 2018.

Sorry, yes I do think there should be a progression server.

It should replace P99 Blue, which should be wiped as it is a Beta server afterall.

Honestly this, green should just wipe the server.

You didn't miss much. There weren't a lot of people and hardly anything worked correctly. P99 has come a long way. A "recycle" server should be a much better experience.

Kinda torn on this. I enjoyed playing here at launch. Its true that the zones were much more empty due to low population and they had to turn general chat on as world wide channel to help people find grps, but it was still a great experience. even with all the bugs and stuff, it was great then.

I definitely think a relaunch with the all the fixes and patches/expansions on the real timeline would be a great experience too, but I enjoyed p99 when it was still brand new also.

First off, wipes aren't classic.

But more importantly, why replace Blue? True, it is a "beta" server, but everyone who is bothered by Blue's history/economy will play on Green. Why not let people who've played on Blue for awhile now (possibly for as long as seven or eight years) keep playing?

Also keep in mind that there's still a question of what happens to Green characters after the three(-ish) year classic cycle is over and the server resets. While nothing has been decided whatsoever (that I know), one possibility that has been floated is that the staff will copy (with name adjustments) everyone on Green to Blue just before they restart it.

If that does wind up being the plan Blue will serve an important role as "that server where you can still play all your old favorites, both from Blue and from previous Greens".

A new server will probably have 3000+ people trying to login on the first month. What a nightmare

Wiping p99 would completely wipe out hordes of neckbeard retirement funds.

Catastrophic.

And I think you miss the key statement/idea which is to avoid the shitfight, by launching at current timeline.

Never going to happen. Remember, that the entire point of the "beta Blue server" was to research/re-create all of classic EverQuest. It would make no sense at all for the staff to do that and then just skip 2/3 of their work when they release the new server.

Yes, just three days ago someone named slowpoke68 started some chatter about a proposed green server. Surprised you missed that.
