Would you donate for a new blue server?

[Uteunayr]

I would really like to know just how much it would cost. Reddit Gold became far more consistent on that site when they put in the gold tracker, since people were able to see how much gold was needed to be purchased per day to keep the website going. If we had an idea what the cost would be for a new server, it would be interesting to see if the people in for this (myself included) could fund it.

If funding every stopped, just recollapse the server back into the current blue.

I could live with or without the /movelog. I am partial to say we shouldn't have a /move to get a fresh start, but then again, I am one of the wipe it clean folks. Either way, I wouldn't mind copying Sesser over, or releveling him.

Paying2win in other words.

The PVE content does not change. We want to remove the PVP element. We are playing Everquest, not Counter Strike.

The best part about a real classic EQ server would be a bunch of L55s in rags trying to kill the myconid spore king.

$$$$$

Holding fungi king room with 2 groups of mid 50s is fun stuff.

Please explain the pay2win? Its pay2rotation, and yes the PVE game is easy by today's standards, but P1999 still has the best implementation of classic mechanics to date. I'd still have to gather X-number of friends together to kill my target, and Chest is not advocating instances. I just, hopefully, would have a raid scene more accommodating like current class-R, without giving up 2/3 to neckbeards every month. I have my little playground, and they have theirs. I still have to camp my VP key, get the kills for my epic, and level my character (depending on /movelog), but I could do it without petitionquest, coth ducking, and Alarti.

So you are looking for a modern MMO...Which isn't EQ. And yes paying to have that is paying2win at your own rate.

The Rathe had a full rotation, it's not un classic.

Hell I am not knocking the Devs, they do a lot more than we think, but Velious is not even out or the purported "Teams Server" and you really think they are going to start ANOTHER server??? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Pay2Win gives you an advantage over other players by spending real cash. What advantage do I have over you when the PVE content is the same? Class-C guilds hold a current advantage over class-R guilds because they are willing to be more cutthroat in the raid environment, but eliminating that advantage with a strict rotation does not give me an advantage, it puts us on a level playing field.

if a /movelog was implemented, it should actually be done in a way that forces class C off so that members of the casual community that don't realize what's going on aren't forced to suffer. just give class C their own "instance" of the end-game and use the existing server as the rotation server. no movebacks.

I think the "pay2win" sentiment is that you're offering up money to transfer to a server where acquisition of pixels will be faster/easier.

Yup. Not asking for any new coding or anything more than what they have done, merely a server for Class R to Class R, and let Class C do their Class C thing. Both styles are classic, seems reasonable that some will want one style of classic, and the other a different style. Don't need to code teams for the server, nor code a pvp/team specific Velious, as it is still blue, just let us pay for a new server and toss on the blue code already as written.
