green server is boring as hell now

[Ooloo]

Do teal people really still cling to the idea that teal was some kind of magic place? It was just green with kingdom as the top guild instead of seal team, everything else was exactly the same

Oh so now you understand...

Too bad staff wants it this way. They need to come back to the classic vision and nerf channeling, exp rates, ZEMs, charm, and a bunch of other stuff languishing in the bug forum. Do it all from the start of Green 2.0 and don't do dumb shit like adding enhanced mob spawns and instanced Teal. Make it hard to level and ignore the petition queue from crybabies arguing over HHK goblins which was 5 camps on live, not 1 camp like P99.

All I can figure is they know no one actually can handle classic EQ 1-60 grind so they're ignoring this stuff to boost population. P99 is easy mode, 70% channeling from level 1, live was 30%. They've turned their back on the classic population and cater now to randoms interested in playing EQ who will never know they've been robbed.

P99 died for me when Green launched and I leveled 1-50 on enhanced newb mob spawns, got carried by Enchanter pet groups in ZEM zones 1-50, and instanced over to Teal to get a mana stone before merging back. This is miles from classic EQ now and all the bug reports are there to show why. P99 promotes account/character spamming and sharing fast exp gain custom server play complete with guild UN for loot decisions. Shit's hilarious.

Do you do anything but bitch and complain?

Nope. But thanks for playing, you may try to slander Teal again on your next post!

To be fair, Green has come a long way for the casual player, as a lot of previous posters have indicated, the server has a vibrant lowbie population and it's fairly easy to get groups (and mobs) all the way to early 50's.

Honorable mention goes to @azxten for the "and instanced over to Teal to get a mana stone before merging back." comment, consider working as a political consultant if you haven't already, it takes talent to take such a huge slanderous dump on a server in so few words. But that's not how it really happened, if it happened at all. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you wanted a server first, you stayed on Green. If you wanted to join the top zerg raid guild, you stayed on Green. In short, if you wanted to compete, you stayed on Green.

So, Teal wound up being the place where the people who didn't care about competition went to just play EverQuest ... which resulted in it having a lot less asshole players on it.

Did that make Teal all sunshine and rainbows? Of course not. But if you played on Teal, you definitely noticed the higher quality of players, and that was what made it a noticebly superior server.

RIP Teal.

Have been playing a new char on green since the weekend. All I see are powerlevelers and a bunch of shit classes like druids, necros, bards, sks, rangers etc... No groups running anywhere. Not even oasis crocs the times I checked in.

Everyone needs to stop telling noobs to be druids necros and sks. They do me no favors unless I need track, port, sow

It's interesting to compare the experience at the moment, on Blue it's 95% level 60s semi-afk staring at empty spawn locations, and likely the whole zone is empty if it doesn't contain BiS drops or tunnel fodder. Meanwhile on Green every newbie zone guard is being watched by a necromancer, Druid, or shaman.. it's like every guard on Green gets the Permafrost Ice Giant treatment

Literally had to leave kurn’s due to overcrowding. I’m in oasis now. Its empty. Because we know enough now to realize how dumb oasis is, regardless of our fond Cazel memories
