New progression server?Follow

I was just wondering if anyone has heard of a new progression server coming up anytime soon?

Sweet ty for the info. Do you have a link for when they do decide to have a new one? I will be checking it daily. Thx again

I will have to go find the link to the original thread and post it here. I just found it by happenstance myself, but the thought of a progression server does have me stoked. I have played off and on since Kunark, and raided every time I came back, but there was a lot of the game I missed. My most recent absence was a 2+ year break and the last time I quit I hadn't quite reached the then 75 level cap, so I havent seen anything beyond that either.

As soon as I came back and discovered my guild still existed I posted on facebook and a few of my former officers/co-leaders are coming back as well. When we found out about the progression server we all agreed instantly that the day it opens we form the guild over on that server and bring in as many as we can. It has us all excited, so much so that we have already started determining what races and classes we will be and we started new level 1 toons together now so we can get back in the swing of grouping and leveling together because we figure that will be key on the new server. If any of you want to join us you are free to do so. We are currently playing on the AB server, just send a message to killit, grudus, or musikalii.

That is the post that I saw where Phathom referenced that they are still planning to open a progression server after the HoT release. Well, the release has happened so now we are just waiting on more info ;) I still have my hopes up for this one.

I am with you all the way. I am perfectly willing to wait an extra month or so if it means it is done right. I don't expect them to revert back to the old original code or anything, but something like leaving defiant in would completely destroy the intentions of the server.

On the upside my old guild is back up to 4 returned and now active subs again and we all made lowbies and are having a blast. Even the news of a Progression server makes SOE money lol.

And now for those who want to follow along the progress...

^ This was a new post that the head code man himself responded to today saying the server is still being worked on (as well as Zek and FV) which may not give us a timeline, but in a way confirms that it is going to happen and isn't just a rumor. We still don't know specific rulesets or anything like that, but when it does become reality, my guild will be ready day 1 when it goes live and will hopefully pick up new members before and after that time.

Instead of unlocking the next expansion as soon as the highest content is beaten, the expansions are unlocked on a schedule.

Personally, I'll just keep playing on Project '99. Sony will never come close to recreating the game the way those guys have.

I was told (didn't actually listen myelf) that they re-affirmed they are currently working on the server in the last podcast. They supposedly said the target is still early 2011, but that could be anywhere between January (my hope) and March. Either way that gives me plenty of time to knock off all the rust and continue my campaign of propoganda against the other games my old guild mates currently play while trying to convince them to come back.
