eq is all about replayability and if a server has just a few people playing on it so be it. wipe this shit already
It would accomplish nothing, and no one has provided even one legitimate argument otherwise.

Classic EQ was great... in the year 1999.

Its basically a primer, or tutorial that set the stage for the game. All the content can be completed in 3 or 4 months, faster for the hardcore and even faster without a huge population bottleneck. Then what? You have to manufacture reasons to pvp because content is cashed (yt, hot zones, ez leveling, leaderboards etc). Theres so little to compete over.

Kunark-velious are years worth of player advancement and competition. On Rallos Zek, I'd say not even 5% of the server had experienced all the content by the time Luclin was launched. We were easily 6-8 months behind blue servers because of the level of competition involved in accomplishing anything (challenging = rewarding = fun)... and don't kid yourselves RZ pop was way lower than people think. I couldn't find as many people during Kunark trolling for pvp as you find on blue on a friday night. In fairness though, live pop was always far more bottom heavy.
