I dont think anyone is really against a new server, just against the idea of people pushing for it so quickly when there are a ton of us on thjs server that have literally been waiting for years on velious. Let us get velious, give them a few months to tweak and correct any errors, then lets talk about another server. We have a limited staff on this server and I for one think the vast majority of their focus should be on the accurate and smooth introduction of velious, not some new server so people who joined p99 in the past year can feel like theyre starting on a level playing field.
Patience is a virtue, the fact theyre even offering a second server is a gift itself, now sit down and wait patiently like the rest of us.

What is the big deal? If they have the backups from earlier builds (before they added kunark), it is really just a copy/paste job.
This new server will be out for a year before they need to worry about kunark (again, just a copy/paste of our current server build).
They aren't doing new stuff, they are just putting up an older build on its own server.
Velious was a massive undertaking that took them a long time to do. Starting up a new server with an old build isn't the same thing at all (especially since they have already been through it once).
It is obvious the demand for a new server is GIANT. Way more than people who are waiting for velious.
Don't get me wrong, velious is cool (ha ha)....but people are here to play classic everquest and get the real experience...all velious does is add some extra end game raiding and pixel hunting to an already bloated server (not what a lot of people are here for). It isn't even classic everquest since the timeline is SO extreme on the existing server (stuck in kunark for YEARS??).
When velious goes live, all people will be doing is taking their level 60s to farm faction and farm gear ....and try to do some raiding. It isn't even going to be like real velious with people grouping and crawling through dungeons. Everyone will just bring out their max characters to farm the drops.
