I personally don't care if the server stays right where it is, because once you're bored with it you move on and others will continue to level toons/alts/etc.

this.

also, new people will come to the server just to see "classic eq". it's not gonna die.

everyone who's like "hey, we need to move on and here's how" is missing the point. there's live eq for you if you want something that's continually evolving.

I look forward to the day when I'm done here and can move on to some other game. I don't want to be playing eq for the rest of my life.

exactly.. this server is as much a museum exhibit as it is anything else. the goal is to preserve (what has been arbitrarily defined by the server admins) "Classic EverQuest". new and old players alike will come and go just to see what there is to see. some will stay longer than others. it will be several years at least before P1999 "dies" even if it stays as-is.

I have literally not paid for SoW one time ever and I have never accepted a donation for SoW on either of my chars that can cast it and donations are VERY VERY rarely (Like 1/100 at most) offered for it. DAP typically expects 1pp per lvl for ports and from the DAP folks I've asked its not uncommon at all to receive ~30pp tips even from lvl 60's. Getting a port isn't prohibitively expensive at any level unless you have absolutely no idea how to make plat at all in this game. You can farm enough plat at sisters in Lfay at lvl 12 in a couple hours to pay for all the ports you'll need for a month+

NarcolepticLTD said it best. Porters on this server are griffon masters. You're absolutely 100% deluding yourself if you think otherwise or think it's somehow vastly different than the "easy" travel of PoK or that adding something like PoK would somehow ruin the game. Literally the only thing it'd ruin is all the people who leveled druid alts specifically to tag them DAP and earn 1kpp an hr to cast port spells. Would it really ruin the game if that went away? Somehow I don't think so. It's a racket not much better than Chardok AE proxies in my book.

You do understand that spending the first half of your argument, discussing how trivial it is to leverage the existing player population for transportation... Then the other half discussing how people porting can turn 1kpp an hour, and compare that type of gameplay to a "racket", and chardok AE proxies, makes it a challenge to take your position seriously, right?

Who actually pays for SoW? I sow everything even corpses for free, and never have a problem getting sow on my other toons.

I do, 10 plat.

funny I just looked at all my old post, and even in 2009 there was a thread just like this lol...with pretty much the same ideas floating..

But I'll say again what I said then.

Would be awesome to hold a contest for people to write a new xpac or to release new zones. Lore would have to be incorporated and we could use zones from all the titanium expansions. The thing I noticed most from velious to luclin is how the lore seemed to fade out of importance. Making the PoP gods accessible and scaled to velious geared numbers could be neat.

The line of thinking basically is, let's just revamp one zone at a time or a cluster of zones and have it's story immersed in the EQ lore. Grow EQ how we wished it would have before a lot of the creative force behind the game left. Also it would be great to have some content that no one knew how to immediately dominate. I skipped the launch of Kunark and Velious on purpose, I did not want to be apart of the insane pixel grab that really brought out the worst in some people.

I think a good first start would be bring back Mayong Mistmoor and add a real loot table =)

Just an idea =)

Ket, are you challenged? Even the most meager of intellects should be able to make some sense of it despite the lack of paragraphs.

I have too many YouTube puppy videos to watch. Busy guy. Ain't got time for that.

Plus, yes.

I'd like to see 2 new servers with SoL and PoP without the Wizzy Translocators and PoK Books scattered across Norrath. Give exclusive porting access to Wizards and Druids. Make it where if folks wanted to play on the server, they could just clone their current red or blue character to the new server like it was done with the Velious Beta.

If not possible...well #Teams2017

I'd pay a monthly 'donation' for PoP minus books.
