I don't get the whole "I've been here too long enjoying classic EQ, if you deleted everything and made it classic EQ I'd quit."

that sounds like a problem with your personal comprehension if you ask me. we don't have to justify ourselves to you. just because you don't wish to believe it doesn't make it any less valid.

1. The server is 4 years old and still on kunark. With the original intent of the server to follow classic timeline progression, I dont think anyone expected p99 to go past 4 years without a reset, termination, or lucilin progression.

i'm not bothered by this.

2. The server is still on kunark, a reset would not only give nilbog breathing room for velious development,it would give people something to do again instead of (cant believe im sayong this) farm epics to sell....

what? how does he get more time by having to relaunch the server? how does the second half of this even relate to the first?

3. You cant tell me the majority of p99rs dont browse the forum... 200+ viewing server chat as we speak. This is EQ not counterstrike, what else do you think people on here do when they are bored at work / school?
|
they don't. not everybody is a forumquester.

4. This is an emulated server... If you played here with the intention of all your "hard work" lasting through the ages you have a screw loose. The devs owe us nothing, and could have scrapped it at any point in the last 4 years.
|
you're right. the devs owe nothing. we expect nothing. we got nothing. when it's gone, i'm gone.

For those of you saying you would 100% quit if there was a wipe. Regardless if you're a 6-month vet or several years. I have a question....
Aren't you playing because it's classic EQ? And not because you've now acquired lots of goodies? What if the devs came out and said "We lost all data, it's gone... we had a catastrophic failure and the backups aren't loading, we have to start over, sorry everyone..." Would you leave then? Would you leave if the game got wiped accidentally? I'm genuinely curious... because if in 2002 SoE announced my server got wiped accidentally, or intentionally because of unforseen circumstances... I most certainly wouldn't of quit playing...
I'm just wondering...

i'm playing because there was a break in well developed games, and i started playing, so i kept playing. i'd like to see my character, my account, do well. if you take away my character and my account, i'd have no more motivation. this is open and shut, really.

Well, for starters it would completely destroy the market for possible RMT for a very long time, not indefinitely but a very long time.
|
no, it wouldn't. less supply with the same demand just means higher prices.

A fresh server gives the opportunity to really micro-manage the total platinum on the server and also keep track of the high end items switching hands. As it is now, it is impossible to know what is legit and what isn't after so many years of corruption and exploits.
A fresh server comes with a lot of opportunity for the staff to make changes to preemptively combat future problems.
|
more opportunity? more like more work for the volunteer staff who already can barely handle what we have.

Nobody playing p99 right now should be against a fresh start. Progression servers weren't the hottest shit to hit Live EQ in the past decade for nothing.

and they died off for a reason: content was moving too fast.
