EQ Live Progression server?

New Progression Server FAQ and Upcoming Poll Details

Anyone else visited EQ Live website lately?

It's quite interesting that they're opening yet another progression server.

Is this a stunt just to keep players paying monthly subscriptions? Think they have caught wind of P1999 being successful with "progression" type server?

The idea itself kinda piques my interest, but meh.

/discuss

I think the new zone designs are still in place on them? Correct me if I'm wrong.

No Oasis of Marr etc.

Thats the reason I wouldnt be able to play live Progression server.

Too much of the actual progression is lost in time or updates it just wouldnt feel the same.

Well I recently read on reddit or somewhere that they plan to make a test server for the upcoming progression server. I wonder what they need to test other than possibly population?

They lost me at where if I die, I respawn with all my gear.

So, "progression server" but no such thing as corpse recovery [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

One of the reasons p1999 is popular is because it plays different. Corpse recovery is one of the things which makes it play different. Some people don't like these things, but that's why they're on live.

We can get something from p1999 we'll never get from live.

And there's more downtime which is pivotal to triggering players to talk to each other. Most players don't like downtime, true. But without it, the tendency seems to be to only grunt now and then.

No GPS-enabled maps. Spells/items are less powerful. Players are more reliant on each other.
