I realize we're talking about the hypothetical server split, but you've hit on what many folks who call for server wipes or resets in the interest of resetting the playing field never take into account: the elite are elite no matter what.

I saw someone comment upthread about being late to Live EQ or p99 and always being "behind". Of all the hardcore players I've known in many titles, it didn't matter if they were behind... they always found a way to get to the top. Some cheat, some grind, some are just plain smarter.

My play style in EQ is like the tortoise from the fairy tale: I will be behind. Reset the server and I may not want to put in another 2 years to get to L53 and outfit a main for me and my wife. That hardcore fella isn't going to blink. He's going to get back to it and probably will get there before you once again!
