I didn't read it all but sounds like you want a ladder server like in D2.

Honestly, I would prefer this.

Again? Sheesh.

From this and your namechange thread you have a lot of opinions for someone who's only been here a month

Eh.. if things were turned to no drop the bank toons would be completely useless. All the items would be stuck there and people would have wasted weeks of their lives for nothing. Everything in eq takes time so id suggest getting used to farming a certain item or spawn and getting lucky with a drop. Ive spent weeks at the courier spawn to afford all my gear and just like everyone else weve dedicated our time for what we have. As I understand what youre getting at it would be an incredibly unfair thing to do. Just dont give up and remember in eq you have to work a little extra for everything

Totally not what I'm talking about.. eventually something will need to be done, I'm not saying that my idea is the best, or that it should be done soon, but unless you want to eventually become a Live server it will stagnate and die, simple mathematics

Please show me this math. I expect a full derivation.

In a game that has characters progressing, you need content to continue to progress with the characters.

easy way to imagine it is it's a foot race: everyone runs at different speeds. If you want to continue the game, you must add miles to the end of the race, otherwise eventually everyone will just be milling around the finish line.

I know it's tougher then 1 + 1

Everquest has no finish line. It isn't a like a race. It isn't a console game that you beat and put away. There is tons of stuff to do at level 60. Or you can reroll and, as you put it, run the "race" again. And again. Or run it differently.

Not to mention what you are talking about here (adding content) is a completely separate discussion from wiping items.

Let me just ask this. What do you REALLY expect to come from this discussion? The devs are aware of the state of the economy. What we think of it is irrelevant, it is their world, we just live in it. If they ever want our opinion, they will ask.

Heh delete people's coin and make all items no drop.. Good luck farming anything of value when me and a handful of people I know lock down all the good camps we've been repeating for years and fleece this server for all the resources it has left. you're talking about giving all the hardcore farmers renewed incentive to dominate the market bc you went and reset it to 0 while we already have a massive advantage over you.
