What if... Classic reboot!

[Kers]

Delete the whole server and start fresh again! This would not only be rad, but it would also be awesome

[Telesforo]

Dont get mad buddy put a smile on your face an level an enchanter :D

On the other side I agree with you.

One last thing, as a ubber player, could you pass some nice items to my noob char? :p

[Aroith]

wipe red server and make it a new classic blue. I am sure it will draw more than 50 people on peak.

[Telesforo]

That is a good idea Aroith

[Tasslehofp99]

How about just regulate the bullshit that goes on now instead of rebooting and dealing with it all over again without our gear/characters we've already built up.


Regulate broz

Damnit. You got me, I don't know rap very well.

Another classic blue server is a great idea.. It would at least separate some of the people who cause problems.

Some of these people ...some of these people. Not even the players really.

Red had 100 on at peak last night just from the announcement of kunark alone. Only good things to come when exp bonus drops and kunark opens. :)

Only having 100 people doesn't rob you of the EQ experience? Even with reaching upward of 500 people on blue during prime ... I feel kinda robbed. So much seems so barren.

[Valiant]

hahaha agreed, 100 is weak

[afkbandito]

Lol last night..you mean when the blue server was down?

[Raavak]

Make a Classic Blue that stops before Kunark? Would people play this?

I'd like to say no, but our peak before Kunark was higher than our peak as of 3 months after Kunark. Besides that lining up with the mass-Show-EQ-punishment, it can also be attributed to it being harder to find groups 20-50. Mid-Level zones aren't nearly as grouped as they were pre-Kunark.


And wow, it's been like half a year since we've seen one of these "BURN IT DOWN AND START OVAR!!!" threads. I miss them.

[feanan]

First, the people who have paid over $30,000+ real life dollars for stuff on this server
are not going to agree to a wipe.

Second, all the early people who exploited and dupped their way to millions of gold are not going to agree to start over.

Third, the people who have been collecting level 60 accounts like candy are not going to want to start over.

Frankly, I say we do it. Sure, we would lose a certain percentage of cry babies who falls in to one of the above categories, but I bet long term the server would be healthier, and population would be higher.

Besides, will give us all something to do while waiting for velious :)

So, no one.

If we're quanitifying wealth in Gold, i was a billionaire.

[djstaid]

Since I just started playing I say, du it!

Honestly, I have not been around long enough to have an opinion on this. Now for something completely different...:eek:

[cliveceps]

Creating another server is a terrible idea because it would split nearly in half a population that is already too small. I would play it if there was a decent population, but that'll never happen. The demand for 13 year old MMOs is just not that great.

[djstaid]

The demand for 13 year old MMOs is just not that great.

It is not all that bad either. Every time I go to log in there is at least ~1500 people playing some type of EQ variant. Plus I never even knew about this until I stumbled on a Reddit post. Given the state of current MMOs, I bet if more people knew about this they would play.

But yea, it still isn't "blow you away" amazing as far as demand goes.

[Psionide]

While pre-kunark classic eq is my favorite time it's just not feasible to have a only pure classic server. When this server first started it was still relatively unknown whereas now you would have a million classic legendary items like thex daggers and such but that's not a big deal compared to the slim pickins when it comes to raids and bottlenecks, eventually the calls would come for kunark and such thus making that servers obsolete compared to the one we have now.

Not to mention the media would be all over the mass suicides that would occur from the elitists here who "worked" hard to "achieve" what they have here and then the government would shut us down surely.

I would definitely get back into P99. When I started in 2010, it was already way too late. Server was full of twinks and most folks below lvl 50 were being powerleveled. Groups were rare. Plus the effects of exploits/hacks/bugs could not be undone.

A nice new clean Blue is what we need. Count me in.

You red types can all turn in your books to the PoD. Voila. Nothing lost.

[mwatt]

No. Idiocy.

That would break trust. If the devs were to do this even once, a precedent has been said and people would not trust that it could not happen again.

Aside from that (though that is probably reason) the devs have categorically stated that this is not going to happen. Ever.

[feanan]

I meant $30,000 collectively, not one item or one person. Since the speculation was all the IB goodies sold for over $15,000, my number is pretty low.

[Houdiny]

I would be ok for something like this down the road. If Velious is for sure the last expansion that is going to be added after so long it is going to get boring. The idea of starting over isn't a bad one. Leave this one up of course, but starting a new one would be cool

100 is sparse, but when you have a guild and you're always doing stuff with other players, its still fun. 500 is really a lot of players.

On rallos zek there were usually less players in 50+ zones than on p99. It was always really bottom heavy, where p99/r99 are really top heavy. The only real hard part of either is finding groups 1-20s. After that, fun times.

Kunark will be the tits.
