Official Everquest Progression Server Release

[Goobles]

What's holding us back from throwing racial slurs here? If you don't like it, don't say anything. The person is obviously giving people a heads up. If you don't want to go back, DON'T. But don't be telling people how to spend their money.

If they had a fixed 1 year per expansion ... maybe. If I needed to blaze through an expansion every 60-90 days to keep up, no thanks.

90 days, 60 days, it will become the same as the other progression servers.

Too many expansions, too fast is what killed EQ.

The voting is a great idea. But only if it drags out when expansions are released.

^^^This!!!^^^

Not enough time to level up all the alts I would want to make.

I'm probably the only person on this server who isn't tapping his feet for Kunark as I still need a couple more level 50's.

If it was a year per expansion and I had to spend another year doing classic there is no way I'd play. It is 90 days after the unlock requirements are met, which I think is perfect. The top guild will meet the requirements, then 90 or 60 days will give other guilds time to catch up - making the raiding scene constantly competitive upon expansion unlocks AND giving the casual players at least 3 months or so to enjoy expansions (about triple what they got on combine).

I personally think the server will be a lot of fun.

interesting, because one of my biggest issues with p99 is that progression is too slow.

on p99 CASUAL players are walking around with multiple 50 toons and in full raid gear with the exception of high end sky.

i will be playing on p99 and the new live server. if they use the same "roll back" as the last progression server it will be classic enough for me to enjoy, and I have always liked the idea of starting fresh on a new server.

heck, if p99 offered a new server I would start there too.

so much hate here. what do you care if someone wants to go pay 15$ to play a game (well, 30$ since I'll be boxing there).

1 year for each expansion? Maybe if they only went up to velious, but not with the intent of eventually enabling all expansions. Don't they do an expansion every 6 months anyway? They would never catch up.

Oh, and there is no reason you can't play on both servers (progression and P1999). The main reason I lost interest in P1999 and don't play here as much anymore is because the raiding scene is too messed up. All I ever do here now is play an alt for an hour or 2 or run around with my cleric and rez people. By playing on both servers, I can still play the alts on P1999 and at the same time raid on progression. It's the best of both worlds.

wait, so you think there will be only casual raiders on progression without batphones and poopsockin?

it will be worse than P99 since RMT is tolerated on live -> asian armada incoming on feb 14th.
