Poll: How do you want p1999 to end?

[JurisDictum]

The best thing about the game ending in Velious IMO, is that there is a certain feel to the game that ended in Luclin:

1) Traveling was still pretty hard at early levels (it isn't that hard when you're higher). I don't think porting is all that important for community...business interactions aren't the key to build communities IMO. But it does make the world feel a bit more real and midevil.

2) Smaller gap between end game characters and newer characters. With AA's and Luclin loot, more established players were MUCH more powerful than anyone relatively new to the game. This is when it started to get hard to begin from scratch. By PoP, it was damn near impossible to start a warrior from scratch for example.

3) The "Cats on the moon" complaint is based in the fact that the traditional dungeons and dragons style high fantasy motif started to be eroded. Things were more "game like" as far as style goes starting in Luclin.

Besides the "feel of the game" however, the game play was simply more balanced and superrior in Luclin/PoP IMO. It is great to have the opportunity to level in Original/Kunark/Velious and slowly get some classic raid gear. But after you do this....I think it is normal to want a little more to do on your main character. This isn't a hardcore minority on this server, a lot of people are in this position.
