May as well just roll an alt or reroll your toon.


That's just...a terrible idea. Yeah let's just never expand or build ever. Not a horrible plan at all.

Best plan post-Velious is leave P99 at Velious untouched forever and throw up a second server that makes custom 'Classic' content out of the later expansions. Add new client support or something. That way you have the still-Velious server for the rabid Classic Brigade and a still growing server for people that aren't still stuck in time 13 years ago.
It is obviously a matter of opinion. I can see lots of folks enjoying keeping the old server up in a stasis of classic content forever and ever. I can see lots of folks wanting to wipe clean and start the slate over. I can see lots of folks wanting a hybrid of the two.

Personally, I would stop playing all MMOs and focus on EQ again full time if there were a relaunch of p1999 from the beginning. I'm not saying that I think that will happen any time soon, I'm just saying that I would really go for it and I think lots would go with me.
