When it lands I hope theres a day 1 ban on cross server trades.

Yeah they should punish anyone that starts this shit. No trades across servers should be allowed.

if we opened a new blue server, it would only be to have a classic server that followed the exact classic timeline (ie: no 4 years of kunark, no waiting for devs to create or fix anything, etc). It would not be for any other reason.

People who want a new server are pretty dumb in my opinion. EverQuest sucks ass on low pop servers, if you make a new server you split the population and make it suck for everyone.

Like myself, you are a smart man. Correct, Making new blue has a risk of Making 2x low pop servers. The function of increasing likelyhood of death of p1999 is therefore increased the more servers we get added. I vote make 1 new server according to Sirken's info. However only make one more blue, no more , ever. Or death is risk.

Besides a new server would create a new hierarchy, granted with many of the same people but still, at least a new server would be fresh for awhile.

Sometimes new is good. Pixel hoarders shouldn't be afraid of letting others starting anew and having a chance of gaining what they too have.

This is just an example of the rich holding the poor down. Plebs lives matter too.

The fact that he used the term "pleb" is disqualifying IMO. Go back to BDO with that "pleb" shit!

What I would love to see is a new server that is a copy of this blue server but with a tweaked Luclin expansion (removing/altering things to keep it in the spirit of "classic" like maybe no Nexus or Bazaar, adjusted/removed AAs and a tweaked ZEM to put old world zones on par with PC or whatever). Then allow one way transfers from blue to that server.

Those who don't want Luclin or don't want to move can stay on blue and not much would change. All the guilds that are stagnant at the end game could move to the new server and experience new raid content (if they want) which would free up a lot of raid and dungeon targets for others here.

Then people have a choice and I doubt it would impact the population that much since most of the people are already max level anyway. Many would likely return to either experience raid content here that was previous blocked by other guilds or return to experience new content from Luclin. The leveling population probably wouldn't even be impacted that much.

Pretty sure they aint doing all this stuff you are thinking sounds like a good idea. When you start on this server, you understand the idea behind it, and that idea doesn't go past Velious.

All of the things you mentioned you would like, AAs, Luclin, flying batmobiles, and whatever else you added in that rant above probably doesn't fit into the "classic timeline" Sirken mentions above.

I came to this game recently and one thing that has made me stay is the large amount of players compared to other private servers. You may think splitting the players up at this point wouldnt be a bad idea because there are plenty to spare right? What about slow times like this morning? I logged on and there are slightly less than 500. I was able to group with someone before work and enjoy seeing other players in the game. Now what will happen if they split those users up? When I log into the game the world will look barren. I dont mind starting in a topheavy server. Life is topheavy. MMORPG is a simulation of life. Players who have everything dont really need a new server. Nobody is forcing them to twink new characters.

I thought you quit.
