It's a shame that powergamers have ruined your server, but would a wipe really help? Seems to me the people affected the least would be the same people that ruined it the first time around.. maybe you'd get another fun 3-6 months in the game, but then it'd be back to what it was anyway [You must be logged in to view images.

Powergamers haven't ruined the server. If you want to do stuff, it isn't as though the guilds are exclusive and you won't get admitted....you can join them and there's several to choose from that can all do the content.
The point is that the game has gotten dull due to doing the same thing repeatedly, or not bothering at all. In fact it is mostly a flaw within the design of the game itself, not the server.
The idea is that a wipe would help out new players that are having problems finding groups (and there's more than a few of them) and the old players that are just bored with what we have.
Bonus being that we could follow the timeline this time, since so much work is done, so that people wouldn't be sitting around bored doing the same things for too long.
Someone earlier in the thread mentioned the journey being more fun than the destination, and they are right it applies even moreso to EQ than most MMOs. When you get down to EQs endgame, it really isn't much different from WoW. Once you've gotten all buyable stuff and probably amassed lots of cash...all there is to do is wait for the next raid. It's even worse here, since in EQ atm most of the "raiding" is dropping a single target, where you spend 90% of the time just waiting around for people to get there before dropping the mob in less than a minute.
