In Response, How many would start on a new blue server?

[Tecmos Deception]

I can't help but think, everytime I see people complaining that they want a new server because of all the things that were/are wrong with the current one, that they're just saying "this server isn't good enough and/or I want a better relative situation for myself by erasing everything the people who have been here longer than I have have accomplished."

"LOL THE GUY WHO IS RICH DOESN'T WANT A NEW SERVER GO FIGURE." Yeah. No fucking shit I don't want my characters wiped. No fucking shit I don't want a bunch of the blue players wandering off to a new server just as we are getting up near the same peak population the SMALLEST live servers had during Kunark. If you guys would accept blue as the amazing emu it is, flaws and all, and play the damn game instead of trolling forums and trying to blackmail the staff with "well i'd play p99 for sure if we had a new blue server!" and shit, you'd feel the same way.

Am I mad for saying everyone asking for a new server/wipe is dumb? Yeah. But am I madder than the people who have the audacity to make those requests instead of just enjoying the best damn emu around and being glad it is here at all? Nope.

You act as if it isn't an enormous part of "the classic experience" for there to be dupers and cheaters and exploiters and powergamers and quirky mechanics. No, I'm not saying these are good things, but I AM saying that trying to demand a volunteer staff shit out a fresh server every time some random player puts up a poll asking for one just because he doesn't like how chanters could level with whirl a few years ago but now he has to play his chanter legit today... I'm saying that's retarded. And it would be a cycle like that. Cause as soon as a new blue is out, SOMETHING would be wrong with it and players would be starting polls about how "should we re-release blue2 now before the damage gets worse? vote yes if you love eq, and vote no if you're a duper/exploiter/cheater lololol"

Well, I enjoy this server immensely, and did not start from the beginning. I also would enjoy a new server to start up.

I think that Rogean and every dev who does work on it really do more than they get credit for. We the players forget the work so many people put into it who get no credit. It's very easy to forget this, and to get unappreciative. It's also easy to develop a sense of entitlement.

I just feel like saying thanks to those people who give us the opportunity to be angry, or happy regardless over such discussions as this one. in the big picture, just be thankful.
