So when will we get a fresh server reset , everyone back to level 1.

Best advice ive heard for how to make this server a better place is to ignore the negative cry babies on these forums and just play. If you dont like it, leave the server and leave it to the pleasant people. Dont crap on someone elses parade because something doesnt live up to your standards. For a free server, i like this place exactly the way it is

I just wanna know how all these people get away with playing at work it's sickening. Don't people work when they're on the clock anymore. IT and computer bums [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am a "casual player," and I can tell you that if the server gets reset, I will leave and likely won't return. I hesitated joining P99 because of the volatility of most emulated servers, but the fact that P99 has existed for a while now without a reset, coupled with the staff's insistence on not resetting, ultimately drew me in.

I have limited time to play games, and right now EQ on P99 is the one game I play when I have free time. As a result, it has taken me a while just to reach a moderately high level (42). I like knowing that the time I invest won't inevitably be invalidated by a server reset. Once the server gets reset once, I have no reason to believe it won't continue to get reset multiple times in the future. Thus, I have no reason to invest my spare time on P99.

For the "hardcore" players, recovering from a server reset is trivial. They would not leave. I suspect that for a substantial percentage of "casual" players, a server reset would permanently drive them away.

briscoe, Iam confident there will be a wipe down the road a year after velious is launched since nilbog doesn't want to go further than velious

Everquest is limited without new expansions

Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents as a casual player.. I'm married, work around 30 hours a week, and go to school full time. I'm very proud and happy with where I've gotten my character to up to this point in the last 6 months or so. I don't always get to play when I want to and I think that just like some of the other posters here, if the server were ever reset in that fashion I probably wouldn't come back.

Also, I imagine that even for the hardcore EQ'ers here, a reset would be equally frustrating as I imagine one of the reasons they play so often and for so long is so they could get to the point they're at now with all of their uber gear.

If you really want to start all over, then just roll a new toon and don't accept handouts from anyone.

The thing is the hardcore have all the uber gear because there isn't more uber gear for them to collect. MMORPGs are treadmill in nature to keep that carrot on a stick dangling in front of the player so they keep logging on and (on Live) keep paying. Restarting that treadmill doesn't change the fact that there is a treadmill, which is where most players derive their fun, beating the treadmill. So resetting hurts those less who enjoy running on the treadmill less than resetting harms the casuals who are on the treadmill because of the experiences on the treadmill. There are those who enjoy the treadmill, and there are those who enjoy the bumps in the gravel path.

As a casual player, I would probably quit if there was a wipe. It took me a long time to get my characters to where they are at with only a few hours a day. I have no idea what this goodle guy is talking about.

lol it's funny to me how casual on EQ means a few hours a day, 3-5 hours can be considered casual. Yet that is 21 to 35 hours in a calendar week, almost as much as a full time job.

Not meant as a slam or anything. Just gave me a chuckle at how EQ is so different than other mmo's. Casuals on other mmo's would be 1-2 hours every other day or so.
