I actually love my Paladin. I just went on extended hiatus because of the realization that Velious is it - no Luclin, no Planes, everything is done as a zerg. Not to mention, poopsocking is not fun at 32 years old. The class has nothing to do with the reason why I stopped playing. That may be a reason for some Paladin's, but not mine.

well it's not like we were all surprised the server is only going to SoV, we all knew this ahead of time. As for Zerging, that's EQ raiding when u have so many guilds competing. Yeah not everyone gets a trophy after every dragon, but that's life. I would support a server split.

Support for a server split?

We are less than half what a live server population was on live. Splitting the server to deal with the top heaviness of one aspect of the game (i.e. raiding) would only harm the entire server community as a whole.

Its a static server. No surprises in the content or the game play. Anyone who wants a perma-classic server has to do deal with this reality. P99 stopped "recreating" classic EQ a long time ago---we are in some kind of crazy experiment testing what would have happened on live if the game froze in classic but continued to play on for four years.

There are only two types of folks who will be happy on p99 imo. 1) Those who enjoy the static game (resulting in no new content, crazy economy, crazy gearing, top tier bloating, etc.) for various reasons of their own. And, 2) People who are having fun playing, but will quit eventually when the static nature of the server gets to them.

You want to know the highest population date in P99's life when we look back? It won't be Classic launch, Kunark release, or even Velious release. It will be the day that the next iteration of p99 (re99, etc.) goes live. Folks will come back to play in droves if/when a new blue server opens.

This.

I haven't played live EQ in close to 10 years, but I'll be trying out the new TLP server and consequently haven't had any desire to play P99 in the past week. From what I hear, live may have a lot of issues, but so does P99. The level of mudflation on this server is unreal, both in terms of gear and in terms of how many accounts/characters people seem to have. Plus as a casual player with a family, I have no desire or ability to poopsock or batphone to see raid mobs.

There's a lot of hardcore neckbeards on this server, but I'm willing to bet there's a few others like me out there as well who want to see if the grass is greener on the other side.

Contrary to popular belief, and has been confirmed by polls on these exact forums, there are plenty of people who loved PoP.

Once they create p1999 green.....things will be perfect [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Especially since it will recycle every so often for a fresh start and fresh adventure again.
