    Phinigel will catch Live servers on April 21st, 2021 if there continues to be annual expansions and only 1 of TBL and the following two include a level increase. Corinav about 3 years later. Fippy can theoretically catch Live servers before Phinigel but currently seems unlikely to open any more expansions.

    Ragefire and Lockjaw presumably open an expansion every ~2 months until Underfoot other than SoF flagging and any no votes. Starting from Underfoot, keying is a time gate for most expansions let alone if the raids themselves or population loss slows down raid progression. TBL will be the 15th additional expansion to unlock after Dec 10th, 2018 at the earliest.

    Flagging is normally about 2 months so 4 months per expansion or 60 months which in theory adds 5 more expansions. If "normal" flagging exists that's another 20 months and another expansion so it would seem to project to a quickest catch up of unlocking the 2024 expansion before the 2025 goes Live.

    Mainly used http://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/EQ:Progression_Servers for information which also may not be accurate but it at least seems more likely to be accurate than an official DBG article based on the official DBG popups that appear on every server.
