I m still dreaming of new tlp server stopping at velious expansion. It would be a kind a p99 with instance (so at end each guild could enjoy all end game contend) - 1 to 6 month : classical - 7 to 12 month : Kunark - 13 to 18 mont : Velious - 19 to 24 month (and each next 6 month) : special event for this server, Sleeper reset if that possible, gods war and so. There is so much thing to do with only that 3 expansions. I m ok to say that most player could finish to be borned on it, but i m also sure a lot of player will like to have a server like this to explore, see quest and lore on this ancient world. A server like this could have a lot of success at start so what about a starting with 2 servers and merge them (if necessary) after 2 or 3 years. This is an idea for the 20th anniversary tlp launch.
They're "playing nice" with P99 so probably not going to overlap it... Rodcet Nife server had a guild that self-locked at Velious back in the day, way before the first progression server was ever offered (they did it at Luclin launch iirc). They were called <Claws of Coldain> and they lasted (with small numbers) into LDoN iirc --so a few years in real time. Agnarr offers a great location to recreate such a guild, and there isn't that much to "police" with guild rules as out of era. Make what you want to happen be real, as I think waiting for this is a long wait.
Thats a good point but thats not enough :=) I hadn t find my post, but long time ago i posted a tread (or perhaps just an answere on a tread) concerning a new kind a tlp server evolving all three month with a new expansion. Some answere tthat woudn t work for many reason and here we are with phinigel ! I stress that a classical server on the way i m talking about (progression stoping at velious with instance to avoid than 2 or 3 guilds keep all the best loots) could be a very good idea of tlp for 20 years of EQ !
