Because let's face it, it's no secret that's the only thing they really care about. The server will have a healthy population and do well. Some p99 guilds sick of the raid scene will migrate over and most likely the majority of Phinny will start over on Agnarr.

No, they wont.

We'll see soon enough. Then we can revisit our posts and see who was right.

So PoP had the most in depth raid lore, quests, tradeskills, progression arc and content overall. But because they have a lot of QoL updates and DPS improvements/Heroics the content unfortunately falls over to most everyone.

Due to this many Phinigel raiders will be staying on Phinigel to experience more difficult / in depth raid scripts from GoD-TBS.

I think SoF will be where a large chunk of people fall off. Maybe PoR cause most people hated PoR but... Phinigel is in a unique position where it has nearly 20 current-content raid guilds and will continue on this arc with a few falling off because they can't beat the content, and likely will arrive in SoF with 10+ guilds having cleared Solteris, which was unheard of back in the day.

Agnarr was great from a marketing perspective because it won't hurt Phinigel's population too bad and will only bring in new players not interested in the Phinigel model, which keeps alive their largest server and has the potential to create a second largest server with Agnarr.

Really they need to resurrect Al'Kabor though.

Most of the Phinny players just went through Classic - > PoP in the last year. Maybe if Agnarr launched a couple years from now. Some Phinny players will definitely play it.

It will get a lot of old EQMac, P99, and Ragefire/LJ players though

Except the problem with Ag vs old EQ Mac is that Ag is going to have all the "QoL" improvements that EQ has now, that all the classic lovers hate. Loot windows, maps in every zone, updated pets/ monk dps tables, etc etc. Old EQ Mac didn't need the buffs to bosses to make them balanced. I bet people will zerg through Ag as quickly as they did Phinny and get bored of it. Unless Daybreak can put out a legit, as close to classic as possible server, I don't think it will have the staying power or community EQ Mac did.

I'm not arguing that it's for the purists, or the mac cult like followers. Everquest is never going to be replicated exactly as it was originally experienced. That's an unrealistic pipe dream. You're living in p99 if you want that. But, this is probably as close as people are going to get to a solid PoP locked server and allow DBG to make their $$$. It's the best option people have at this point if they want a PoP locked server.

Where do you think Phinny got most of their initial playerbase from? Certainly not p99. BDA was late to the party. They came from RF/LJ. I don't think restarting is going to be a huge issue. And some people thoroughly enjoy it.

Real real and total shame they don't just set up a physical server to run eqmac, exactly how it was left. Then just charge me $15 a month to cover the stuff around, no kronos.

EQ heaven right there. By far the best server to have ever been made. None of the modern crap, still some 'broken things', it was perfect.

Idol remaking 29 alts to mainchange was not however...jebus.

What does this mean?
