I've been playing every day since day 1 and I'm still in favor of a wipe.

Just for the record.. Considering we're expecting anywhere from 1500-2500+... and a ridiculously high % of those are going to start level 50-51...

I think we might need a second server dedicated to just p1999: kunark.

Or you are going to see.... well.... it's not going to be pretty.

We've already witnessed almost a full year of what it's like to have a top-heavy server with limited xp zones and targets.. And *that* was with god knows what % of the population afk till kunark.

If there is resources for a second server and it's gonna get wasted on the pissant tzvz refugees lurking in RnF who barely play p99 anyways.. Thats going to be a pitiful waste of available resources.

it may not be pretty at first, but it will simmer down.

The server should handle that number without a hitch.

I wasn't worried about the hardware side.. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm talking about the amount of rage, bs, and general asshattery coming soon to spawns and petition queues near you. close your eyes and imagine bringing back the mana stone on the evil eye. Now multiply that by dozens of spawns. And i'm not even gonna bring up key mobs and raid targets..

For heavens sake, even enforced mandatory there was like 200 on beta and druids were running to crypt from zone in without invis on.

Multiply that x7.5 or x12.5 and you'll get what i'm hinting at. And ffs at least 1/3 of mandatory beta's population was afk in EC tunnel.. Just trust me, any semblance of peace and harmony and mere sanity is going to require a split server.

Quite honestly, I think it's going to be a riot. I can't imagine EQ without crowded spaces, trains, spawn disputes, drama, heavily camped zones...

I agree though, p99 staff manpower is going to be seriously strained.
