Lightbulb The Golden Era of P99 is behind us, we need something new.

Kerafyrm the Sleeper has been awake on the green server for much longer than the server was still progressing through the timeline, and Rogean + Nilbog still haven't decided the future of the project, or if there will even BE a future for the project. Long gone are the days of 1200-1500 players being online at the same time. Green has been stuck at the final patch of Velious for over 3 years now. The dust has long since settled and the excitement of playing the game and knowing more was on the way as the server progressed through the timeline is all but forgotten.

P99 is no longer the only 1 box emulated server that has enough players to be fun, and the population on both blue and green has been noticeably dwindling slowly but surely over the past couple of years. With the shrinking playerbase and the uncertainty of a server merge or new server ever happening, you start to think, what is the point of continuing to play when the race to come out on top was decided years ago? People have accomplished what they set out to do, and now what? People are getting tired of being stuck in Velious with very little new happening to keep them engaged. The poor blue players are practically dying for something new. Blue just has one big mega guild gobbling up all the content right now with little competition, even with an FTE lockout system.

Blue is on life support, Green is declining, and Red is dead.

Hopefully one day Rogean and crew will find the time to commit to a future for p99
Would like some more communication from the devs at the very least.

TL;DR: the end is nigh, merge servers, need new green

Rogean does not do this for you or me. He does it to create the EQ classic museum.

Rogean seems to have a good relationship with his real life. He isnt not communicating with is, he is. He just chooses his targets wisely. You know who he communicates with? Teddie the legend quester who updates his progress AND submits bug reports with proofs/details.

Try that instead of whinging like a baby that lost its pacifier.

I'd like for there to be a new server again soon as it has gotten a bit stale with how long Green has now been in Velious, but even without a direct timeline or much communication I think it's clear that the devs do have a future in mind for the project.

The past several months have included a lot of fixes for the timeline that none of the current servers are in which would be pointless if a new server wasn't planned on being released at some point, and there's been holiday events that have been a nice addition. Project 1999 has always moved at a slow pace, and though I'd want a fresh server sooner rather than later I still trust that things will eventually move forward.

people keep saying that while ignoring the fact that just fixing things / patch notes in a vacuum is a reward in and of itself.

i literally don't think we're getting a new server ever or even a merge and that's fine with me

Well based on the rare recent posts of nilbog, they are apparently preparing another bug fix patch.

It isn't happening. Rogean is currently specing out a new McLaren and the current build date is over one year out. Combine that with his marriage in Dubai in February and I dont see him having time.
