I'd post this in off topic but Non-RNF posters bore me.

Bill Trost is a saint!

Also, I've met Omeed a few times he's a funny guy he made me the Director of monster activities and lifestyles for EQnext when I told him I didn't want the game to be casual trash. He also writes children books and has a TV show or something.

They did a poll recently on what Old EQ character you wanted to see in EQ Next and Ambassador Dvinn won and Fippy was also included.

Oh I'm sure they're cool dudes. Just their movements and talking on camera, you can tell they work on MMOs for a living. Lol.

Specialty servers in EQ Next

"The idea is simple - If a community of our players wants to host a server with a specific theme or ruleset then we're going to do our best to give it to them," Smedley writes. "[P]layers will receive a pledge token for free if they've played more than 5 hours. This pledge token can be used to cast a vote for a server. But use it wisely. You only get one free one per year. Make sure it's a community you believe in and that has a good chance to succeed because we're going to set the bar such that the community can sustain an MMO server."

While the first token will be free, SOE plans to put a second token up for sale, with each player allowed a maximum of two server votes per year, according to Smedley. Happily, he writes that if the server a player voted for with a real-money token succeeds and is created, the value of the token will be refunded in the form of in-game Station Cash. In addition, each pledge token includes "a wearable that's going to look sweet," according to the SOE president.

"Why refund it if it succeeds?" Smedley writes. "Simple - we really want to give you the kind of servers you want. We're going to set that bar high. If it succeeds, you've built a community of fellow players you want and as our customers we want to give you that. But we also need some indication of reality in order to make this work."

So we can have that 10 boxing abomination of a pvp server everyone wants?

I predict it will have.... 80-100 pop 8)

These 2 guys remind me of King of the nerds on TBS.

I'd assume they would need a much larger amount of tokens for SoE to justify running a server but It would be cool to have some sort of custom server other than RP and PVP.

I had a blast playing on EQs perma death contest server Discord years ago I'd love to have that an option with full PVP, XP bonus and perma death. Not as a full time server but something fun to do between raids.
