Clearly you aren't getting it.
I totally didn't realize I was on a computer instead of my Xbox, thanks for that.
It could or couldn't be a race, that has nothing to do with the example I gave. It was just an analogy, not me thinking I'm playing a racing game.

It's a fallback server that will stay stuck in the past - which is cool and all - I was simply putting a thought I had out there and wondering what people thought about it and if they had any other ideas.

Of course the devs are aware, I'm not addressing this to them, simply talking about the game and issues with games like this. Not really looking for people to come in and talk crap, you can do that in a different thread if you want, just want a constructive discussion and to hear other people's ideas - not listen to them whine about it.

but .... wat.... you're the one whining here man

What is the issue here? You joined the server recently and you feel that items are too expensive and that players are too rich? So your fix is it remove all the plat and assets people have earned over the last few years so that everyone is on your level? Why? Do you not want to invest the time and effort that we did to get on our level?

Don't know what that is.. but it's just a matter of time before the game gets bloated, especially if the expansion list is going to stop with Velious. Theoretically everyone will eventually be max level with max gear and leave because there's nothing left to do.

And yeah, you can always delete all your stuff on purpose or w/e, but not the same as a server reset of some kind. Maybe not even once a year, but that's generally how long was in-between expansions if memory serves.

In a ladder system everyone would start fresh on a separate server and after 6-12 months the server gets wiped. The accounts connected to that server are then kicked back to the original p99 server. This way the people that play on the current server loose nothing.

The only problem is it takes most of us a year to get to max lvl lol.

there isn't really an issue, just my observations and a few thoughts that I had about what might be able to be done at some point. I listened to Rogan's twitch tv thing about pvp, and they say while they will never do a server wipe, they do have some ideas on how to change things for the better. Was just wondering what people thought, and to share my ideas. (they didn't go into the blue server for ideas, just threw around ideas for red)

Yeah, I mean a year was just the first thing that popped into my head, mebbe 2 years would do, or 18 months or who knows?

Ban tunnel rats, they are the source of all the servers problems.

i like this idea and i would go one step further!
Every 6 months, one character of every race and class is thrown into the arena at lake rathe, the losers get their accounts deleted, the winner gets a DE mask and some nice titles! Cull the server! make room for pie!

Silly OP, don't expect to attack people's livelihood and get pleasant responses. What, you think people farm the same content for the same items for 3+ years for fun?!

Why is this a problem? I don't expect one game to last forever.

Server's still growing after three years of Kunark. Velious will provide some additional years. By the time Velious winds down and the population dwindles P1999 will be pushing probably a decade if not more. That's plenty long enough. When that time comes the remaining population can decide what they want to do. Worrying about it now strikes me as premature at best, even assuming honest motives on the part of the original poster.

decade would be incredible for the project.

part of it seems to be people wanting to have their inputs/voices heard/pandered to on the server cause they proly grew up getting ribbons and trophies for getting shut out by 20 like i did as a youngling, but then git gud happened and all was right in the world.
