I heard the new server is going to give out free cookies, milk and epics at level 1.

Epics I can see, but cookies and milk? Lets not get too crazy here. The game needs to be balanced, after all.

The difference is, on a pvp server, we don't have to worry about it. Training and the likes is seen as a form of resolving your disputes.

Can't blame me for trying. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I can just imagine the outrage in the baking community.

I'm talking about the amount of rage, bs, and general asshattery coming soon to spawns and petition queues near you. close your eyes and imagine bringing back the mana stone on the evil eye. Now multiply that by dozens of spawns. And i'm not even gonna bring up key mobs and raid targets..

For heavens sake, even enforced mandatory there was like 200 on beta and druids were running to crypt from zone in without invis on.

Multiply that x7.5 or x12.5 and you'll get what i'm hinting at. And ffs at least 1/3 of mandatory beta's population was afk in EC tunnel.. Just trust me, any semblance of peace and harmony and mere sanity is going to require a split server.

Quite honestly, I think it's going to be a riot. I can't imagine EQ without crowded spaces, trains, spawn disputes, drama, heavily camped zones...

I agree though, p99 staff manpower is going to be seriously strained.

Who ever said anything about a server wipe?

I wasn't worried about any kind of wipe. It's been a subject which has been brought up in the past and I never bothered to respond. It's making the rounds again (as is the request to allow boxing and the various other things which ebb and flow).
I do understand why people would like a wipe and I'd like it for some of those reasons but people don't look at it from other perspectives. I have never been worried about any kind of server wipe as it is completely outside of the goals and philosophy which I've seen Nilbog operate under thus far.

If i wipe happened i wouldn't come back. I am in no way relvl'ing a toon. Hell i don't even have any alts. Wiz will be my only toon.

Well if you guys do add a PVP classic server, I hope you do not add it anytime soon and take away the fun of Kunark on the p99 server(at least let kunark run for 6 months without another server added). It would split the amount of people on the server probably, maybe not 50-50 but I could see 60-40.

For that reason, I'd hope it doesn't happen until a year or so after VELIOUS. Afterall, you all play on P1999 for my entertainment.

Split the player base? I log on in Lguk at 9am on my day off and everythings camped and I just log off. How can anyone find this server fun with this many people and no way to take camps. Not to mention raid mobs that require sitting in a zone for 72 hours and wait for the spawn and be first of however many guilds contest that shit.

If you think Kunark adds that much content you're mistaken, Sev/gore/vs/trak/talendor will be poopsocked to shit.
