lol at starting off your post saying I refuted a point with claims that have no evidence and then immediately agreeing with the factual content of my first point


1) true, but it was very rare in 1999. This is largely b/c of equipment but also perhaps a different attitude of players. banning boxing actually feels closer to classic to me.

Kunark wasn't 1999 and by that time boxing had started up, though I'll fully admit it wasn't "wide-spread," but that doesn't make it any less classic

2) I seriously doubt half of the population left b/c they did not have a guise. If anyone left for this reason I think it is pretty dumb. Guise is hardly game breaking and manastone doesn't mean nearly so much once kunark comes out. Counter to this argument hundreds if not thousands of new players have tried blue after legacy items were removed

50% wasn't my number, it was Dullah's, who argued 50% of the pop left because of legacy removal, implying that content is king and therefore new content would bring these players back. My response is that of whatever number it was of people that left after legacy, a good portion of them were newer players to the server who felt cheated that they had missed out on legacy and that it was removed without notice, and therefore quit, NOT as Dullah contends, because there was no content left to consume

3)obviously you can prove this hypothetical scenario. It sets an awful standard to reset the server and i think makes people more hesitant to start up again. I personally would be really frustrated if they wiped the red server and would probably not start back up.

There was a thread with a poll of who would return for a wipe, 75% said they would and I think the total number was in the triple digits. Of course some of those posters could be trolls etc., but can you discount every vote? People love new things, they love new servers, just look at the popularity of red on release, or of the progression servers or even fresh EQ Live servers, they always have a huge initial pop.

You do not have to play here, but why make it your mission to convince others not to? Reset the server is not a constructive contribution to looking for server improvements.

Reading comp fail, didn't say to reset server, merely said that the contention that kunark is the only way to increase pop is not a correct assertion
