Of course you could use that watch to tell the time. Maybe not use it as a status symbol.

But that kinda gets to the heart of the argument. Precious pixels for the gatekeepers to maintain status in a game where gear brings you 90%+ of the way to "great."

Or maybe you all don't want that secret out. You're not good, just have an abundance of time. LOL

The ZEM changes along with COVID has caused not only an increase in active players, but an increase in players spreading across zones.

This means whereas before some outdoors zones were still viable, due to them being "worse xp", now people are continuing to crowd the dungeon zones, but they are crowding the outdoor zones, as well.

This is the same situation that lead to the creation of Teal in the first place, except now we have many players who have been playing here for months, and they can't find anything to do.

What can we do?

New server? Increase spawn rate?

because right now, the server does not "feel classic", and players are disincentivized from even logging in.

Rules are what is wrong with P99. No GM was going to save you in classic EQ because you petitioned someone for KSing.
