One thing I've learned from Velious release: Nobody gives a shit

3. The Crowfall conundrum

Not sure if you're following the development of Crowfall but I posted a thread in main server chat talking about how they solved the fundamental flaw of MMORPG's: the flaw of permanence. If you watch the intro video for Crowfall, they talk about how MMO's are like a game of Risk that lasts years. It becomes clear over time that one person is the winner. If there's no mechanic for the game to reset, then it stagnates. It eventually becomes fun only for that one person (representing the dominant guild in an MMO), and then eventually isn't fun for that person/guild when the rest of the audience leaves.

So what I proposed was a cyclical P99 server where you do three months of classic/kunark/velious then wipe it and start over. Rogean seemed to like the idea as he discussed it in a Sirken stream, proposing further that they could copy the characters onto the live server at the end of the cycle and prior to the wipe, so that you never actually lose your characters.

On a server like that, with a fully developed and tested velious at the end of it, the end game guild politics would be completely different.

I've been preaching the cyclical server for years. It would be amazing. Diablo did it with the ladder resets and people kept coming back..

Was Velious fun bros? I was too busy smoking hash and eating chicken fingers to log in.

Not sure why, but I have zero excitement about velious also.

nope, no wipes. no cycling. That sounds like an arcade game. Go play those if you want that.

Really ? because the main reason i left was their mentality to completely stomp any fresh raids and deny them any dragons even if nothing was needed by any member.

Gongshow is just a different version of nizzar, theres even more RMT in empire

who are you kidding ?

Oh really? What did Max do about that? He didn't completely fuck up diplomacy and relations at all.

And <Fresh> was never close to being on Holocaust's good side, and then completely fucking bungled it? Right?

I giggled the laughter of recognition. This means you won.

Its true Max was busy leading Fresh from the forums and spreading good will while officers tried to mitigate the fallout. Goog times.

Not sure why people expected velious to be different. These guys have owned the server for a year now. A lot of them owned the server as nihilum as well. Why wouldn't they be going all out with an expansion release finally giving them upgrades?

The hardcore players have been raiding for 2 years with no real upgrades. People really expected them to share loot with people that cane over from blue 2 months ago?

Thr people upset might need to just accept the game isn't as fun as you want it to be and let it go.
