Maybe Nilbog can chime in on this, but can you imagine how may legit and pissy ass petitions a day or a month they get on here.

You can gain some idea of this by looking at the number of threads in the petition forum. That forum has significantly more threads than this one. That doesn't even account for in-game petitions which probably outnumber forum petitions.

And in 5 days a NEW TMO or whoever guild would OWN the new server. Same old crap. People in top end guilds know every trick in the book both legal and unlegal to get loot and level fast as hell. So you would be in Freeport with a F'ing Orc Pick killing a skelly and they would be in KC looting a T Staff. Sounds like a good idea to me.

I think Nilbog has chimed in on this. many, many times. answer is always no.

besides, I'd rather they concentrate their efforts on the Velious.

Please make another server where people from the top guilds (from both of the other servers) can reroll and lock down all the legacy items so they can sell them for plat on their main server.

yes, and let them make sure they can control all epic mobs and sell them for 23895619026012k and rmt.

[Kevynne]

inb4 inc ban for mentioning rmt.

New server, take away ability to mq epics, make all raid mob loot nodrop, ban anyone who sells loot rights.

If I could add, the point would be consumer choice. If it were possible, to eventually then move characters for free, the game can sort itself out better. I doubt the cultures would be identical. Not enough people want to do what TMO does: cycle through endless rosters of people punching their loot tickets. Another server would perhaps develop a different high end game. But that is why I said three. Sure, the same players will try to take over a second server. But a third? And how many guilds would, in fact, basically mass-migrate away from the current high end clusterfuck as it exists now?

It is not a stupid idea. It would be a stupid idea if this were 2001. But it would be funny to see how fun it is monopolizing an empty server.

Right now, we are locked into a certain (and boring) kind of endgame eq experience because of the fact there is one server, not because of gm's. The server has so many people invested in a certain way of running the way guilds work, etc.

The only way to not have this basic system continue onward to infinity, is multiple servers. Where players can vote with their feet.

Come on, it's just a couple of dual pentiums, and badabing, eq server. Right?

I personally won't be happy until each one of us has our own personal p99 server with the exact features that each of us want.

[tommydgun]

personally i dont necessarily think its a good idea to make another server because the overall demand for classic eq isnt high enough to support another server with a healthy population (800+ prime time players).

however, if there was going to be a new server i think a lot of things could be done to improve the overall experience for the majority of people by preventing certain powergamers the opportunity to ruin things for others.

for example:

1 - no MQing
2 - no selling loot rights
3 - not allowing multiple accounts for a single individual
4 - no selling accounts
5 - no selling PL services for plat (this is a tough one to manage because in my opinion buffing noobs for free doesnt count here, but someone advertising PL services for 2k/hr is something i think we could do without)
6 - no casinos

those are my top ones i would like to see... a fun thought i just had was not allowing consecutive raid named guilds by a given guild unless they were the only guild able to kill mob. meaning if you killed naggy or something for example, then if you were being contested for naggy on the next pop you had to fold. i also like the idea someone had about guild max members cap.

fun to think about, though it will never happen. personally i can still enjoy p99 but then again i havent been here even half a year yet.

Let's fix a critical mass of the bugs and get a proper patch timeline done before opening up a fresh server.
