Proposal: Continuous Resetting Progression Server

I guess I'm confused, if the 'new' progression will, from day 1, lack items that no longer drop on P99, like Manastone, Rubicite BP, Scimitar of Mistwalker, Thex Dagger and Guise of the Deciever, and this progression server would someday 'die' and be assimilated into the live server, whats the point?

What's the incentive to play there? To be at square one with everyone else?

To minimize risk/cost/impact I would suggest an iterative approach that starts with the current baseline so that you have an "80% solution." From there find out what will and won't work and make changes accordingly. Some problems are actually quite like hard. For example, how does one handle legacy items like manastones? I'm not sure. So factor it out and start with what is easy and then move forward.

I think it's true that the first iteration wouldn't be totally compelling except for those who just wanted a fresh world. But later resets might include true progression or even (if the difficult problems can be overcome) legacy items like the manastone and rubicite armor.
