There is no fix-action for this other than starting a new server, which many would obviously not want. The results of the current situation seem only natural.

I would love to see a new server created once Velious is released for this very reason. Starting as a blank slate with everyone would definitely rejuvinate a large portion of the worn-out p1999 fans, but I guess this is just a pipedream? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
The problem is that if they do this the server would lose a ton of credibility...who wants to play a game like EQ (a game that literally soaks YEARS of RL time to progress your toon) if there is even a hint of a possibility that the devs would pull the plug.

It really all boils down to what Rogean and Nilbog want to do obviously...the reality is they could wake up tomorrow and decide that they are turning the server off without a moments notice. People are putting a lot of trust in them that they aren't planning to do something like this (and that they are mentally stable---the #1 reason to not play on Toop's server imo is that he IS crazy enough to just delete everyone's data and restart the server on a moment's notice).
