Reset classic server

[slemmykazaam]

Why even make this thread? The admins have already proven that their goal is to run a server based on integrity. That means the chance of them listening to an ill-conceived, extremely self-serving idea is nil to none. The newly reset server would play out the EXACT same way the current one has. It would not abolish inflation or monopolization, nor any of the other perceived problems. The only thing it would do is anger a loyal playerbase and appease a crowd of people who have already proven they will not be playing for the long haul.

I, as well, think there is nothing cooler than starting a MMO from the beginning with everyone on an even playing field, but you don't wipe a server to do it. Having 10 servers worth of players and opening a new server is one thing, but dismantling a community that is, in terms of a 12 year old game, pretty much thriving, is something else entirely.

Is it ironic that 60 percent of the people voting want it wiped then? If so many people are against it where are they on this pole?

Just an idea... I know I for one would be pumped about losing my level 60 and multiple level 50+ characters and having to reroll with bronze and fine steel... but maybe i'm just crazy.

So what is stopping you now?

You do realize that for most online games only a small fraction regularly read the forums

wiping this server would cut the population in half at best

For an emulator for an older game like this.. that is based on classic EQ - I'd say most people check out the forums every few days.

It isn't like WoW where kids use their parents CC and don't know much about the internet in general and how to use computers other than for gaming and facebook.
