1. Shit's so overfarmed that people are now selling 10-packs of Fungi Tunics.

farming will continue on any new server. new bobs will pop up. nothing will change. also, the person claiming to have that many fungis for sale isn't exactly credible. he's an account trader, and i wouldn't personally buy anything from him. ever.

2. Kunark has been out since March 2011 (2 1/2 years).

i don't know about you guys, but i'm not finished with kunark yet. i think that sony actually released expansions too frequently on live. i'm looking forward to velious, and i know it will alleviate some of the pains of over-crowding in certain zones and under-crowding in certain level ranges, and it will bring a lot of affordable gear to the market, but i'm not clanging on my shield marching against the gates. yet.

3. Rampant duping.

there are better ways to address this than a complete wipe. punish the dupers, clean up the mess as best as possible without affecting normal players. also, unless the dupe is fixed first, it will easily carry over to any new server.

4. Stick it to the RMTers.

do you really think starting a new server will end RMT?

5. Because the kind of people against it are so addicted they should probably unplug from EQ anyway.

this is just stinkum being a troll. nothing more to see here.

i leave you with this:

THE SERVER WILL NEVER BE WIPED BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY ON AN EVERQUEST SERVER WHERE THE STAFF DELETES YOUR CHARACTERS ON A WHIM.

Has it occurred to you that due to the overall timesink nature of the game this applies to literally everyone who has played here more than 3 months?

I am definetly not for a wipe. In terms of my playing time nowadays with work and family I would consider myself definetly casual, however my mindset is hardcore from my original days of EQ. Due to my limited playing time it has taken me forever just to get to level 10, so no I would not want a wipe. If I had a 50+ character and the server was wiped it would probably make me not want to play EQ for awhile and definetly not on P99 anymore.

whoa/woe? Yes that's what I'm referring to. Dumbass.

For the record, I wasn't talking about people taking the game too seriously as much as I was saying that they take the forum too seriously. You're prime example to support my point.

I started here three weeks ago but I played EQ for years. I've lost accounts and had a geared 60 necro hacked and stolen. I still didn't make an ass of myself crying about it.

It's healthy to remember that no matter how much of your time you choose to put into the game, it's still a game. Its meant to be fun and if you hit a point where you can't simply walk away from it without it impacting your real life, there may be a problem. That's not directed toward you, its just sound advice. =)

Add nilbog to that list. I've heard it straight from him when asked about a wipe. You mad?

That's cool and all .... see Iraqi misinformation minister. A new server is just as good (and that is likely going to happen) You mad?


But why exactly would I or anyone else be mad?

We get it, nobody in TMO wants a new server.

Why do you care? If you are just here for grouping and socializing, you can find that on both servers except one will be fresh and clean. If it's because you like to raid, well you can still do that on the existing server. Your guild can keep raiding whatever it is you raid.

The only reasons I can imagine are selfish reasons. Wanting to be an elitist. Wanting to be the richest.
