Server Return

[calaxa]

One major problem of removing global /ooc and /auction is it creates a strong disadvantage for any newcomers to the server. It will truly be classic for those joining the server to venture to the zone (maybe having travelled for 40 mins by boat/translocator) they want to hunt in and shouting that they are LFG. Maybe this poor newb started in Qeynos and there is no one in the zone and no way to get a port out of there. He's going to sit there or make the long/tedious/dangerous run to Freeport. We've all benefitted from the global /ooc and it's easy now for us to disparage it if we're guilded but think about how tough we are making it for new people. If you want to make that change, I believe the server should be wiped because this created a tremendous advantage to those who joined beforehand, more so than any item that no longer drops. The number of high level players would have been cut tremendously and the entire landscape of the game would have changed.

I think this change is fundamentally game alterring and it becomes a major barrier to entry for anyone starting on this server moving forward.

I don't think so Calaxa, if you need a hand, send me a tell in game, start using /who, talk to those you see in game (besides "hi" or /wave), make some friends, and have some fun! Build some relationships, once you do, you'll never look at that cheap ass ooc channel again. Things in game will start to feel aquired and meaningful. (unless theres a really good deal on a fishbone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])

This is the way it USED to be in EQ, and I think alot of you forget that a awesome drop was only awesome because you had friends to share the experience with.

Rogean-
NO!! Reverse your decision before more people see the thread! Maybe for the weekend, but a whole week? Its going to make content fly by for some of us, that would like to experience it, as opposed to rushing through it. I would take a gander that most of the server population is not too concerned with leveling up as fast as possible.

Yeah, I totally get no social interaction and that's why I think your argument is absolute horseshit. You're so smart. I wish I was half as intelligent as you are!

Terrible attempt at trolling yet again.

It has nothing to do with the idea that your entire argument is retarded and that the majority of the server agrees. No, it couldn't be that we've already discussed this 100 times and the general consensus was to stfu. No, none of that!

General consensus of all TEN people on the thread that responded?
You still think you speak for the majority of the server. There are 500-600 people on the server during peak hours. MAYBE 50 (Likely much less) of those people have responded to /ooc threads, and out of those people half of them lean in our direction.

The argument is not retarded because you say so.
Get your head out of your ass.

Its nice that every post of yours goes from 0 to 100. You are an exaggerator of the worst kind. I did not say NEVER, ALWAYS, or ENTIRE in my post, yet you have bad habits of flying off the handle and going to extremes any time you disagree with a post or an opinion.

Break it down brother, take a deep breath and take the manastone out of your ass, it NOT going to turn into a diamond no matter how hard you squeeze and blow snot from your nose in frustration, while the veins pop out of your neck.

We are listening if you can form a logical post without using terms like "retard, always, never, and stfu." However, I'll bet you absolutely, positively cannot do so.

We're still on track to be up Friday, again as long as everything goes as planned with the setup and configuration of the server at the data center.

Additionally, we will be having a bonus XP week for 1 Week after the server comes back up. All exp gained from kills will be increased 50%.

Surely this is an April Fool's day joke, 12 days too late? I would hope.

Not that I'm complaining or anything, I'm happy to see the server will still be brought up this Friday...but bonus exp week? That has SoE live EQ written all over it. Honestly, that's WORSE than SoE EQ...they would only have bonus exp weekEND.

Well there was no 1-week-downtime on live either. So imagine the server wouldnt have been down for a week we all would have made some exp. I think the exp event is for getting some "lost time" back.

I think the idea isnt that bad but i dont really care if we get an exp event or not(as long as we dont get exp events every few month).

I just want to play again im so bored [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
