nuff sayd

I for one think this is a grand, completely original idea that has never been proposed before.

lol I was gonna do that one too, but then I put myself in the place and remembered my plight and gripe for missing the DE mask and felt bad :( but yes same thing applies!

wellllll since im a DE the mask can go F it self :p

Oh, i get it, you have nothing concrete, so you resort to name-calling and gross exxageration. Just to set the record straight, October to April is not 2 months, did you skip that year in elementary school? Maybe you just haven't gotten to that subject yet.

The facts are is that the economy is screwed up do to a duping bug, the server is actually down due to DDoS attacks. This makes it a great time to fix these issues completely.

With upgraded servers and an upgraded data center, It seems like a perfect time for a restart. The economy can be fixed, there are a huge amount of bug fixes in that makes it an even more classic experience than it was in October. You had your chance to start fresh on a new server, why not allow the rest of us that chance as well. There is a huge difference between starting fresh and playing were certain guilds have spawns locked down and level 50's owning lowbie zones pl'ing their twinks.

Give us all a chance to experience it all -- we deserve it.

Oh, and just so you know, my main is level 45, so I would lose quite a bit as well. I just happen to think it would be worth it to experience EQ the way it should be.

Can someone elaborate on how the economy is now compromised? I generally farm items in the three hundred to five thousand platinum range and I've seen very little change in the prices of most items with the exception of there being some recent upward pressure on the price of FBSS. At the same time, there seems to have been downward price pressure on yaks, so this was a specific and not general trend that I could detect.

My understanding is that the stacking bug introduced a way to sell an item, buy it back for no cost and sell it again. My understanding is also that this particular exploit was easily tracked and in fact the development team was in several cases a little too strict and some accounts were reinstated after the initial bans. Finally, my understanding is that some major trades done with large amounts of exploited platinum were reversed.

From both perspectives, I see no obvious evidence that the P99 economy has been compromised. Overall, prices have been stable for the past 30-60 days and demand for items, especially mid-level gear, remains very high.

Terrible idea and would absolutely destroy the server population.

Wipes are extremely good ways to kill your community.

Devs are planning a reset several months down the road, or haven't you heard? It's called Kunark: everyone will be rolling IKS monks and necros and all other characters will be forgotten...

There is absolutely no good reason to do a wipe

See above for the perfect explanation.

I started late (february), worked my ass off to get the gear i have, and joined an awesome guild that raids. Work for what you get. Stop asking for everything to be handed to you on a silver platter. This is vanilla EQ. As soon as Kunark comes out, and that could be 6+ months from now, everyone will be on the exact same level playing field.

I for one will have 3+ lvl 50 toons ready to go come Kunark release. It's not that hard of a game if you try.
