Like you said, you can still XP and find places to group at lower levels, even if the other 5 members of your group are twinked with 50k worth of gear.

I just see entering Velious with the current fleet of alt armies and high level geared toons as going in on easy mode, and continuing down the road of a non-classic experience. In comparison, on some live servers VP was barely even being farmed by the time Velious dropped. On this server, VP has been farmed for how many years now? I just don't see why anyone looking for a true classic experience would want to enter Velious so overpowered, it doesn't seem in the spirit of what Project 1999 is about.

I'm new to Project1999 but an old classic EQ player 1999-2003 and I totally agree that a wipe would do more harm than good. There's nothing better and healthier for a server and the players to start out fresh, especially with the above arguments. I vote YES! (For whatever it's worth) :)

Good god shut up about wiping. They're not doing it.

Go wipe yourselves.

A bit rude, but accurate and verging on pithy. All things considered I give this post an A-.

Oh touchy subject, sorry didn't mean to offend, I guess this must have been debated to death by now then....

Has there been any discussion about adding a new server if population keeps increasing? (I'm not trying to offend, just want to learn as much as possible of the state of affairs on Porject1999 before committing endless hours to my beloved EQ again).

Probably no new server until after Velious is completely done. Server staff have stated a number of times that they will never wipe though.

any news on veliuos releasing this year?

Looks like it pretty much done. Are the removing the class penalties and the enchanter enchanted bar reagents for brellium?

Using the search feature correctly could probably help you in answering the questions you have.

I think a wipe would go against the spirit of the game, however I am all for a second blue server going up; maybe like the progression server from Live and where Kunark and Velious are not unlocked from the start. If population ever becomes an issue, I'd assume they could always either do a cap on the number of players or merge the servers if numbers fall off too much.

Within the appropriate patch timeline. Should be a couple months after release.

I tested Velious beta and all I got was this lousy final push thread
