Expansion Poll - Up to which xpac.

[Danyelle]

I should clarify my response. When I voted Luclin I did NOT do so with the hope that P99 Blue itself progressed forward past Velious. My hope, and the one I had in mind when I voted, is that once the P99 timeline goal is reached that Nilbog create a copy server (akin to how Blue/Red work now), leaving the original P99 permanently stagnant at Velious (or possibly wipe/rerolls) while the new one progresses forward with Luclin or custom content. This way both parties are pleased. And since they seem capable of hosting two servers already I don't see the huge issue were they to do this. And if a lack of developers/world builders was the issue I myself would gladly volunteer.

The reason I say this is, while you may be content living a 13 year old nostalgic dream at a permanently stagnant growth rate forever or wiping and rerolling and wasting days upon weeks to get back to the top over and over, I would not be, and many people share this sentiment. For us once P99 hit that time the server would grow bland and we would leave. The best option to appease both parties is two servers. Then of course they can troll each other on the forums like Blue/Red do now. With new threads popping up in P99's Server General every week telling people to "roll P01 and play kitties!".

People always grow bored of emulators and leave and they are replaced by new players who will eventually grow bored and leave as well. And the cycle goes on.

With the bazaar, there was almost never room for haggling.

The bazaar was good for keeping prices down. The thing I hated about it the most, is that people would undercut you by 1pp. In most cases, this was good enough to get their item sold.

If people would effin' haggle, prices would set themselves in the same manner.

When I went shopping for an item in the bazaar, and found one for 1p less than another... I'd buy the higher priced one just because I thought the 1p less was a dick move. Kind of like The Price Is Right bidding... A bids 100 B bids 101 and wins...

I always thought, if you're going to undercut, then DO it! If someone has an item up at 200... a proper undercut is 185.

I always price matched (as I do in EC) and let fate decide who sold.

That's great! I would do exactly the same thing. Undercutting by 1p just seemed a weiner move.

Velious is like Metallica's "...And Justice For All" album. Last album I could listen to front to back was Justice....after that I found myself picking and choosing what I did/didn't like.

Same thing with EQ. Velious was the last expansion I was 100% content with. After that, I found myself picking and choosing between the pros and cons of each expansion. I felt Luclin/PoP had enough Pros to balance out the Cons, unfortunately beyond that the Cons consistently started to outweigh the Pros.

I feel most of the community agrees with this concept, so it's pointless for me to blah blah blah my opinions on what I didn't like/dislike, but I think since the devs have mentioned "custom content past Velious", it is something for us to start to think about once Velious is released.

Someone from TMO said something I agree with 100%?

There is no "proper" undercut, anything that is one unit of the lowest currency less than the other lowest price for said item is 100% perfectly valid.

This extends to real life as well, there are no intrinsic "rules" to sales.

Bazaar ftw btw.
