You are picking a fight in the most pedantic of all ways. The simple fact is, a new server where everyone starts fresh is different from trying to 'play from zero' on a top-heavy established server.

Sure, you can try to create your own bubble, and maybe even find several groups of like-minded individuals to not accept high level buffs and to only rely on self-farmed gear. But then when your relatively undergeared group gets to the level where it wants to start farming some nice gear while xping, and they head to Solb, you find an afk shaman locking down tranix and an enchanter soloing at efreeti.

Then you head to EC, and realize that with the money you can earn farming seafuries for a few hours, you can buy the GEBS. And you're forced back into the game economy.

So please, by all means, moan about the problems of EQ and tell me how none of my concerns matter. But I, like a lot of other people, would like to play from a fresh classic progression server (I'd say following classic progression timeline and timing makes sense). If you don't want to come along, stay on Blue or quit, whatever.

Yeah but it's not really classic with the updated mechanics. #Green99

Are you serious?

1. Phinigel is lightyears away from Classic. Only to name a few key differences: Completely different UI (e.g. zone maps!). Quicker experience gain, no hell levels, no class and race penalties. Instanced raiding. People can get a 40-slot satchel.

2. New expansions will unlock every 3 months. I mean come on, most classic players are 30 to 50 years old. If you want to enjoy each expansion in 3 months, you'll have to play 24/7. Which most of us cannot.

That's why my only hope is a new P1999 server.
