What does that even mean?

Why does anything have to be wrong with the server for me to want a new one to start over? I don't think much is wrong with this server, and if so I 100% agree that it will only happen again.

There is a majesty that comes with a new server starting up at this level (pre-kunark) and being able to start at the beginning with everyone else.

That "majesty" is there because it is fleeting.

It is often missed by many, because it is fleeting.

So it goes.

Hmmmmmm a few things wrong with this thread, and I think some of the reasons why devs arent responding go as follows.


1) It is expensive to run / own / operate a server capable of handling up to 1000 players online simultaneously + zones + content. ( DDOS days anyone? )

2) When I first started on this server, peak hours had roughly 300 people or so. Regarding the legality of the server, it seemed to be kind of a grey area at the time. If Sony Online Entertainment noticed, the general thought was that they just didn't care if a handful of people played some 11 year old emulated version of the game.

3) If a second server was started, and we got roughly 1000 players on each server (p99 just keeps growing exponentially as word of mouth spreads) I think there would come a time where where Sony would be like, hey WTF guys, 2000 x 15 dollars a month = ZOMG /sue /shutdown.


and finally

4) The devs operate this emulated version of EQ in their spare time, it would eventually grow into a full time job if they dont pull back on the reigns a bit lol...
