What gets me about the people who want a new blue server is this: none of you guys ever really give reasons why the new server would be more fun for you. You just give reasons why the current one is less fun for you. OTHER people are rich. OTHER people are twinked. OTHER people are PLing. OTHER people are selling MQs. You seem to think that a faster progression will stop OTHER people from doing more stuff faster and better than you will.

I think you guys don't realize that there will be OTHER people on a new blue server too.

How is your relative situation really going to be that different a year from now on a new blue server instead of current blue? Instead of being on a server where there's, admittedly, a ton of plat and items and high-level characters, with people steamrolling through Velious and buying and selling new gear for hundreds of thousands of plat, you'll be near the end of Kunark where the casual players are still only level 40 and the hardcore players have had a 110% lockdown of raid content since the release of the server. Rotations won't even be able to help you when most of your guildies can't even zone into the planes yet, let alone deal with Kunark bosses.

Then you enter Velious with a guild or two in a smattering of "good" gear with the majority of the server sub-50 and starting threads on the forums about how they want a new blue server because of all the same things people do not... just with a new reason instead of "slow timeline." Don't forget that the new server's Velious will be somewhat buggy, since as hard as the staff try it is impossible to release a perfect expansion.


Just quit it with these threads and try to stop letting your fun on current blue be spoiled by what other people are doing. Then a few years from now when Velious is done and the whole classic experience is ironed out, you can play on the new server they'll make then.

^This.

Anyway...

I really don't feel like starting again. I probably would, only if I weren't given the choice. I like EQ. I like P99. In that thread a week or two ago, asking what we would change about P99, my response was "Cats on the Moon" because I find everything else about P99 enjoyable.
