Why a server wipe or a new server would be a good thing

[runlvlzero]

No one has the courage to wipe box, start fresh, promise server integrity, and make it classic, slow, and hard and keep it classic.

We all want shiny things and quick results.

Unfortunately. EQ needs to progress slowly. And it needs limits. Mudflation kills all muds. Especially PvP muds.

Kunark should never be released without a steady 1000+ pop. And even then, it creates a huge gap in 3 months for most people to invest in a char to "catch up".

Yeah 3 months is nothing to a neckbeard.

But it's everything to the rest of us.

Yet without that time investment... speading it along... - we end up with a hurried, rushed community of min/maxers who don't care about the journey so much.
