step up and play or not- that is whats great about MMOs and deff EQ- I had a old co worker who was a 40+ yr old lady and played EQ and bought every xpac from 1999 untill like 2005 and was level 45 on like 5 characters- all she did was wonder around, trade skill and socialize.

Some people love the group content.

the people that want raid content...must do what they must do in order to enjoy the raid content... its how it is.

Anyone is welcome, im sure, to create their own server, pay for it, and make whatever rules they want. Do that.

If the rules were properly enforced on the already existing server(s), consistently, there would be no need for a second server with a rotation.

(Also, variance needs to be removed for this argument to be more accurate)

Stop making sense and go back to your rabid trolling please! Or else I might catch heat by agreeing with you. Ohhh I see, old account, good luck. :)

Of course TMO would be against this idea...its not the fun of getting pixels that is fun for a lot of them, it is more fun denying them to other people. Plus, probably the only people left on original P99 would be TMO.

Not sure why you guys are so against others having fun, with all your "go play another game" and "make your own server" blah blah blah Oh, wait, see my first point.

We get it. You guys are the best. You guys put in the time. You guys are the masters of EQ. (at least this non classic, 13 years later server)

Sorry that the other 75% of the server would like to see some more of everquest without dealing with your crap, and sucking you off because you guys were so generous as to leave an actual raid mob up for someone else to kill.

I imagine a fresh server would make the population explode. So many people I know who left, not because they were sick of eq, but they were sick of this entitled attitude that the top people have.

Red99 would still have 15 people on. Current P99 would have 100 people on it. New server would have 800 people on it.

Guess TMO people worried they spent all that real money on something that wouldn't be worth as much with a new server.

Give the players a choice. Those that love batphoning and poopsocking can stay here. Those that just want to game a few hours and have a civil rotation, like many classic servers were, can go to a new home.

hmmm, why dont they roll up on red99 then? They'd have far more tools there to "deny other people" then they do here.

A new server costs money, time, effort, and more gm's you come in this thread and say " i want this, give it to me now". Why? Also you assume there are only two types of players on this server TMO or anti-tmo. This is called a false dilemma falacy. Project 1999 was for a classic eq experience if you want something non classic look at a different project or ...pay... for your own server.
You would have far less people on your new server than you suppose.

No, this is the same mistake all the exiled from red99 are making. A wipe would lead to the exact same thing all over again, the only thing different would be you'd have spent another 20 days /played leveling up again.

On competitive servers, the cream always rises to the top. You could release a new server every month and it would be the same people at the top at the end of each month.

Yup, this is EQ it isn't a modern day MMO where their instances and handheld mechanics. It's a CONTESTED raid scene, that's EQ. Anything in this world that is worthwhile takes some form of effort, this is no differen't. Their is a difference between a casual player and a raider for a number of reasons. They have some nice options on EQemu to play on but don't fuck up this server with crying, this server got fucked up enough through crying and whining.

PS. WTB Uthgaard pst.

A.) Join a raiding guild that isn't TMO and waste countless hours and days poopsocking and tracking to get maybe 1 in 10 mobs if you're lucky because you can't compete with 20-25% of the server with alts camped out at each mob.

B.) Join TMO and become part of the machine to get your free handouts or just to see raid content without putting up with TMO's idea of competition.

C.) Find somewhere else to play.

With the population as it is, it seems most people who want to raid chose B and C. The beauty of this server is that the devs do take feedback from the players and it's a very open and active community. This server is always a work in progress and there's always room for improvement and growth. To completely shut down any suggestions that aren't classic (btw this server can never be classic), even if it would help to boost the population and grow interest in the server is blind-sighted.
