Expansions or Reboot?

[anthony210]

Id imagine running two servers could be quite costly and not to mention we probably dont have enough of a population to fill two servers with enough people.

Wasnt the main issue with Luclin the nexus and bazaar? Could Shadows of Luclin not be released without those two zones? Or just add the Nexus zone with no ports and the only way to get to the moon will be via druid/wizard port.

IMO I did not have that big of a problem with SoL and the Nexus ports. Sure it made ports obsolete somewhat but it was only from certain zones. IE anyone on Antonica had to run to NK to get to a Nexus Spire so there was still a bit of travel time as well as waiting the 15 minutes for the port there.

I really did enjoy raiding in luclin, sure there was some time sinks such as keying for Emp and keying for VT but when you finally got that VT key and started raiding there it felt like you really accomplished something as a guild.

Also AA's really made it so you could further your character a lot more than just hitting level 60.

A wipe of characters is about the worst thing I can think of. Just ask yourself if you would want to restart at Lvl 1 with no expansions after playing for the 2 years or more it might take to finish Velious. Would you even keep playing knowing the server was going to get wiped? I am all for nostalgia but I really cant see myself starting over at lvl 1 with no expansions just to do everything all over again. The reason I am doing it now is because I havent done it for 10 years.

This is something i dont want to think of at this point.

The server is fantastic and everything is great at present. But personally if i got wind of some sort of wipe i would probably instantly quit. This is mainly due to me feeling like there is little point in continueing.

I get this same feeling in other MMOs when a new expansion is announced. Why bother continueing to raid/improve your character/equipment when all of the items you are raiding for are going to be replaced and worth nothing briefly after the release of the expansion. This is an instant motivation killer and mood killer for me personally.
