No body asked you and nobody said anything about percentages, move along.

Haven't played since 2011 on P99 - loved the time I played here [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Logging back in now to this form, 8 years later, to post - KUDOS! And I hope to be on this server [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Something is really missing in our brains - we so love the experience from 20 years ago haha [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How will Green handle characters of the same name rolling back into blue after it reaches the end of Velious and resets? Like if I want to play a new version of Plush on green what happens to my original Plush when they merge together on blue? The idea of having a Guise on Plush after all these years on p99 got me super excited but I'm scared about having to do the 1-60 again and having to farm torpor and all that kinda stuff

They will add a character to your green name when/if it gets migrated to blue(ie. Plushx). I also imagine they will allow petitions afterwards on blue to change the name if you had this happen to you.

... if they don't just add a /rename command or something. I'm not sure the staff will have the time to manually rename 1/8th (or whatever it is) of Green's population after they come to Blue.

New arrival here, never played EQ or P99, however I'm hoping to try it out when the new Green server launches.

One question tho: I'm going through the getting started guide, and it says to get the newest patch files from this sub-forum. Are the files for playing on the upcomming green available yet? And do they coin-side with the October 8th patch notes I see at the top?

Much appreciated

I've worked on similar SQL databases that Everquest uses. Since we're just dealing with a database of player names one could create a script to change everyone's name at once. I'm just not sure how easy it would be to pull the current player name and desired player name from a stack of petitions unless petitions are also kept on a SQL database or can be converted to simple text.

I just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents because I haven't thought about SQL databases in so long.
