I just think going down this road means you split the population because everyone has a vastly different idea of what they want. Some want item loot some don't, some want this.. that..

Never say never I guess, but there are some strong differences in opinions between both camps [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Yeah, this will not be the same game as any sort of classic EQ. I think that is why they capped it at like a month before a reset.

In the end though I think this server will accomplish what I suspect is the reasoning behind it - a way to quickly test out ruleset changes and experiment with them without irreparably harming a permanent server. I think the permadeath aspect was needed to actually get people to fight each other instead of ending up with a r99 situation of a single dominant force strangling all competition.
