Expansions or Reboot?

[Brad_mo123]

Well hopefully when/if the server is released it will be 99% classic clone, with the ui, old skeleton models and etc. just like eqclassic.org talked about.

For anyone that likes to raid or is of a raiding mentality, Velious is gonna suck. The content will be killed within the first 2-3 weeks (all of it) And it will be completely farmed for the next 1-2 months (maybe 3 months) And then that point will come where everyone will be looking at each other wondering.......what now?

You should keep an open mind about continuing the eq timeline past Velious, to discard it NOW like 2 years before the fact is pretty ignorant. I find it hard to believe people will not want to open Luclin and subsequent expansions when the time comes.

I think someone is forgetting about the three different factions and huge faction grind.

Personally I loved eq-velious, and i enjoyed alot of luclin, ecspecially beastlords. but i do think from there that nothing good came from eq.. except MAYBE loy, but thats a very big maybe..

The way people continue to discuss a "wipe" even after Rogean said there's not going to be one, and the fact some people actually support the idea of having a char that you've put years of work into being destroyed against your will, makes me fear for the sanity of some of the people on this server.

The solution is a second server + enhanced GM events on main server. New, GM controlled or implemented creatures to hunt down on a frequent basis, with interesting storylines. Would be fun for players, fun for GMs.

And we could have unicorns and fairies in qeynos and make it so that the gnolls have bard songs and nagafen will fly over the land and make sure that the balance is achieved and then we can have new sparkle armor that makes everyone invulnerable and then everyone can solo and get all the gear and I want a pony.

You can't have the pony, you've already been told! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't want this to come across as flamey, since I really am just curious. But why would someone who feels this way play on the one server whose stated goal is to stop at Velious?

Because it still beats eqlive, its free, and I enjoy the game. Im just saying when their's a verifiable end in sight, the closer you get to it the more perspectives people have (right now) are going to change.

In any case, this is all huge speculation at this point, the server may never release Velious or Kunark for that matter.

Right now this question is going to get you shot for heresy. With the "we hate everything beyond velious" mantra from us classic guys it's like asknig if we should add nipples to the batsuit in the next movie..again. We've seen it turn out badly once before. However, I think when velious is getting tired and played out, the same Luclin/PoP witch hunters are probably going to give a little and you'll hear "Alright, lets do it..but lets make some changes so it's less like live and more like our vision of how it should have gone down". And maybe that's the right way to go. In this grand experiment that is Project 1999, maybe the next step in the evolution should be to see how the game could have been. Or maybe we'll get lazy and just say "Okay, but only to PoP and that's it!". There's a lot of fun plot twists in our future, that's for sure!
