I'm conflicted about a fresh server. On one hand, it's always fun to start fresh... but the fact that warriors are basically useless until Kunark is a depressing reality check. After I hit level 50 on Green and got relegated to being a somewhat mediocre melee damage dealer, the magic wore off and I ended up taking an extended break. Raiding was seriously lame at the initial level 50 cap.
If a fresh server happens, I'd love to see some class tuning to make the experience feel more balanced (i.e. knights getting better disciplines to make them more viable as main tanks in Kunark and Velious, warriors getting Provoke to make them less reliant on clickies / high end haste and weapons, a functional aggro dump for rogues, etc).
I get that there are purists who don't want any changes, but the project has been going on for like a decade and a half at this point. I want to see SOMETHING new instead of a carbon copy of the exact same OG timeline.
