You'll be back.

I haven't logged in for months, but I know I'll be back.

This isn't a game; it's herpes. It goes away for a while, but likes to flare up right as you've started dating a new woman.

There need to be new servers, plain and simple.

The problem I run into every time I log in to p99 is every player being twinked to the tits. The game doesn't feel like its supposed to. Everything is too common, the economy is completely borked, and there are way too many high level players. It just doesn't feel classic at all anymore. The sense of challenge and accomplishment that is the staple of classic EQ is gone.

They should keep the policy of never wiping the server, but there needs to be a persistent blue and red server. Then launch at least 1 blue and red server that rotates through the expansions and then transfers all characters to the persistent server and starts again anew.

This would fix p99.

Agreed. I'd really like to be seeing that proposed new blue progression server being launched right now/this summer. That'd be epic.

Make it so!

Hi Kal. Nice to see you around. Hope you're doing well. Come join Rustle. We're casual, but pretty much anything we go after dies. Could always use another good shaman. Or... embrace your newfound contempt of this horrible game and enjoy your life before it sucks you in again.

Game simply wasn't designed to exist in a static state for as long as it has. 5 years of Kunark or whatever took its toll.

The game was meant to be hard. Every time I create a new character I have to actively turn people away from giving me shit when they see me rocking cured silk and the like. Still, finding 5 other people to group with that are militant about playing the game without external help seems to be all but impossible.

MMOs should 100% have a persistent world, but to successfully accomplish that there must be systems in effect to combat mudflation and keep the economy healthy. Those systems largely did not exist in classic EQ.

New server with Kunark and Velious in place and 50% exp?
