Early Kunark release for COVID-19

[Bigsham]

why: :? you are crying for content thats why

it took a year or more for players to hit 50 on real classic, you losers do it in a week because you are power gamers. Do something else

Because of the quarantine measures, some people have unprecedented hours to play EQ.

Other people can’t play at all because they work in the medical field, or in a job that provides in-demand supplies, or they’re taking care of their kids at home all day. It would be unfair to this group to deny them content.

But really...here’s the one true answer, straight from Lord Nilbog’s pen on September 19, 2019:

The server will then progress through all patches on the same timeline as Everquest's original launch, all the way up to the last patch in Velious.

With this in mind, kindly No-vote this thread into oblivion where it belongs. We’re at 7 Yes, 34 No at the time of this post...I call on the denizens of this forum to get us to a 1:9 ratio.

Remember when Velious didn't come out? ...and then didn't come out some more?

Holy fuck, do something else rather than play EQ

[Tethler]

No.

What's with all these guys wanting the server to do shit because there's a virus outside.

Oh if it wasn't this excuse it would be another. You've been here long enough to be familiar with the drill.

I did.

I didn't.

No it's not.

What is your point then? You said 'give us something to do', and from that we infer that you are bored. I for one completely support your idea of screwing everybody else over now that YOU are done, though. Plus, who cares that the express purpose of this server is to reflect a particular time evolution and volunteers have put in tens of thousands of hours to make it as accurate as possible, if YOU are bored, then screw 'em. (I capitalize YOU because I figure that's how it sounds in your head.) Voted YES, a thousand times YES. Would vote again.

Yaas...incoming 'explanation' about how it would not either screw everybody over to release Kunark, if they don't want to play Kunark they can stay in classic, yaddah yaddah. /snore

Here is an idea for a server. Not sure how hard it would be to implement....

Start with launch conditions. Pick a number of characters: 10, 100, 1000, I don't know. When that many character reach a certain point (level 49, level 50, I don't know), release Kunark. Repeat and release Velious. See how fast the whole progression goes. When done, start the whole thing over again, wiping the original server.

Sounds like that is what some of these people want anyway. If it were up to them, we would be on Velious2 by now. RPing? MMO? Nah, it's just a video game. See how many quarters it takes to master the game.

Too many words.

But you needed something to do
