The server practically was wiped clean during the Great DDoS Sundering of 2010, lots of old school players took extended breaks or simply didn't return.

If we are a lot of people with differents talents I mean, do we have any chance to do something like that or does it need TOO MUCH MONEY?

Well, just a thought.

It would be technically possible. But it won't happen on this server as has been stated over and over (and over and over) by the server devs.

I just got here so my opinion doesn't count for much. I haven't noticed any boxing so far and I had a couple of people go out of there way to make sure it didn't appear I was being boxed last night so I think there is a lot of support for straight up play.

On the other hand (and no dis to you folks that have already made the top), I would love to see the server wiped clean so I could really start from the beginning with everyone else. Of course that's completely selfish. Even so, from a personal perspective it would be cool. Wish I had been in when the server first got going.

FYI DEVS.. THIS IS THE KIND OF TALK THAT REALLY RUINED VZ/TZ.. It was the whiners like this who casually ask for other players accounts to be destroyed so things are "equal". The devs on VZTZ have been Banning the people who use this kind of speech in game or on the boards and allowing them the opportunity to race to the top again... just by themselves... and If you want server integrity it may be advisable to follow this approach.

Well, it wouldn't take any money. Like said above though, it would take a LOT of time. Creative content control is always nice though :P

There has already been a thread discussing some of this stuff. http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9149

I would love to see everything get deleted. whether they start over from scratch or restore from a point is up to them. but I personally think this server has gone on far enough for now. I see box PLers everyday, it would be at least Nice to have another zone to go to so I could get away from them.

I see you talk about boxing in lots of posts you've made. Either.. report them or stop complaining about it. If anything, you're projecting a delusion that people don't get caught, or banned, which might make more people try and do it. Perhaps we should institute a rule that makes you liable for a boxing-crime that you witness and don't report.

After veilous, re-roll this bitch!

We're still uncertain of the max player capacity of the server. It is untested by our hardware or eqemu in general I'd guess. If the population keeps going up, we might get a second server before Velious arrives. Who knows ;P

Kastro, if everything that I've heard is true, there's a lot more than forum posts that ruined VZTZ. I'm not censoring posts of people wanting to play on a fresh server. Hell, if I was a new player, I'd want a fresh start if it was an option. Perhaps you should explain to them why you don't want a server wipe. Anyways, wipe = not going to happen.

What a maroon! I didn't ask for accounts to be destroyed. I didn't say anything about "equal". I wasn't "whining". I even said that it was purely selfish and wouldn't it be nice as a new player from a "personal perspective". If a dev came to me and said, "we'll wipe the server if you say so", I'd say no. I don't know enough about where things lie yet. I don't know how big a problem PLing and boxing really is. I don't know if there are compelling reasons either way. I simply said that, as a new player, it would be nice if it were a clean server.

Geez, some people are so sensitive.

multiple players on same IP = moot point. pro boxers will just VPN and risk way less than the lesser offender boxing from the same IP i'd imagine. if IP was all that was checked when looking at boxers there would be a bunch of family or roommate players who would be outed and plenty of the big bad wolfs waiting for their field day

Mitochondria · #17 08-11-2010, 11:59 AM

I haven't gotten my ip exception yet but I am really starting to worry that me and my wife are going to be constantly accused of boxing. We duo 80% of the time and I am sure it looks like we are boxing. I understand the problems with boxing on a server like this and I sure won't miss it but I sure hope I don't have to deal with being accused of it again and again.

How do we handle the ip thing? My wife is starting to get jealous watching me enjoy reliving the glory days of eq and is dropping hints for me to set up another box so she can play too.

Go to the Petition forum
http://www.project1999.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=25

Submit a request for exemption mentioning the two accounts which you want to be able to play from the same IP.
