Would you donate for a new blue server?

If there's a server with a classic timeline then there should be no movelog option, at all, as it would bring things over that are outside of the timeline.

exactly.

I think the population would actually increase overall. There's dozens of people in BDA that just faded away because they hit that glass raid ceiling. They weren't willing to ditch the guild and they weren't willing to play like TMO/IB so they just quit entirely. There's plenty of casual guilds with members exactly like that who want to experience raid content.

Hell, the hardcore server could just have a very spartan ruleset and plenty of old TMO/IB might show up for the fight. Allow training or just xp=loot, whatever.

I'm in that awkward place myself. I really want no part of the TMO/IB playstyle but they're unfortunately the only real option to advance once you reach a certain point.

How much do I have to pay for Chest to be permanently moved to the EZ server? Serious question.

The funniest jokes are the ones you have to repeat.

I would support this new server. However, if more guilds were added to the rotation, eventually it could become a similar problem. At that point, perhaps spawn rates could be adjusted to accommodate. I quit progressing in project 1999 a few months ago due to being in a class R guild and looking at the odds of me ever obtaining my magician epic with one chance at Inny every 1-3 months (can't remember the exact amount but it was bad). Just seemed pointless when the best item for my class being virtually un-obtainable. Although I know I might get a lot of hate for this comment, but I'd even be ok with a limit on the number of hours you can play per month on such a server.

I understand a lot of days / hours have gone into building the project 1999 database. However, keeping the spirit in mind that this was founded on an open source project (eqemu). Any chance the server admins would be willing to release the database information for each release (classic / kunark) to allow some of us to setup local servers with our friends / family?

P99 would most likely become the empty one - and the two Class C guilds would slowly collapse or merge as their recruitment base would disappear.

I wonder why...

That's how it was on live. It wasn't instant epics for everyone because there were armies of max level characters sitting around to zerg everything down. Shit is supposed to take time in EQ.

I quit for this reason. And burned out on KC. Nothing will solve that though.

I had my magician epic on live. I'm well aware of the time commitment necessary to complete it. Not sure what your server was like, but there were not armies of max level characters on mine. Just a 4-5 guilds doing the endgame stuff. Plus, they added Magi P`Tasa not too long after Velious (i think) which helped most people get their earth staff without having to wait 3 months for a chance at inny.

What the whole "new server" idea sounds like is simply a desire to not associate with certain players.

Yep. Don't want to "compete" with neckbeards that have 16+ hours a day to camp a mob. Want to experience the high end raid environment, and *gasp*, share it with others. Don't even want to monopolize every spawn. Shocking stuff.
