No matter what the devs say now. If the server is still running 3 years from now when we are over a year into Velious, new content will have to come out or the server will die period. Something will have to be done.

I can assure you, if we do it won't be the trash that Sony released.

Everyone (including some of the developers) that is being 100% stubborn right now and saying "We will never go past Velious and no new content will come out" has no idea what they are saying, unless they fully intent to just let the server die.

I know fully what I'm saying. That means I don't have to listen to jackasses (Not you!) whine all day and I might actually get to play =P.

Also for everyone saying to go to another server. There is no other server to play on that is anything like P99, and thats what makes it so great. No other server has the population besides PEQ to make the game fun. And really PEQ is just people boxing, and I hate that. Even with the boxing, PEQ averages around 250 people at peak, compared to P99s over 700+. I would not be surprised if P99 breaks 1000+ people online within a couple months.

I won't be shocked either if it does break 1k. CD does a great job with PEQ, but they really can't have a lot of the custom fixes that we have here. That is why it is different.

Right now if you want to play a legit non custom EQ emu server that has a near live population you have 1 choice and that is P99. So telling everyone that might want content past velious to F off and go to another server isnt really that good of an option. There are other solutions such as creating a new server that will go past velious and allowing the people that want to, to transfer to it. Or any of the suggestions in the other thread.

Very few of the current staff, myself included, even want to touch the stinking mire of feces that was Luclin and beyond.

It really discourages me when I see a dev post things that basically amount to them saying the server will stagnate after Velious. But then I remember they will pretty much HAVE to do something, they dont want the server to die just as much as we dont. I know quite a few people who are 50 right now that are taking a break waiting for Kunark or PoSky since they are already bored. We are still quite a few months away from Kunark. The same thing will happen after Velious comes out and the raid content is on farm status, only when that happens people wont take breaks, they will just quit because there is nothing left to look forward to. Which is why I know the devs will add content when the time comes.

We don't have to do anything. That is the great part. Our mindset is not to satisfy anyone but instead deliver exactly what we said we would: A classic progression server mimicing the game as it began in 1999. As I said earlier, when everyone is gone and the server itself is complete then we'll actually get to enjoy it =).

Granted, all of this will happen years from now so its not a big deal right now. But
