No. It has been stated there won't be a server reset, and do you really want to fragment the server?

Just delete all the fungis and epics on any character under 46 and wipe the plat from the server.

I think everybody's just scared at how few decaying skeletons there would be with a reset.

I would be for a 2nd server, starting with Vanilla only and following the timeline to the release of kunark more closely since all the work has already been done. And then hopefully by the time Velious is completed it can also be implemented on that server much more closely to the time it should have taken.

I don't think we'd need to reset the current server, I think that most people would move to the new server on their own because deep down a server that is closer to classic from the get-go, has tools to stop cheating from the start, is more free of bugs and exploits, has a much stronger population from the start, has a lot of appeal.

I would be in favor of keeping all the nerfs, including non-classic ones like item recharge, and probably more nerfs, like bard AE-kiting (and I'm a bard).

I think making things more difficult is better, and it makes the journey more fun.

I would potentially go even as far as to say no IP exemption period, only 2 characters per account, and only 1 account per IP. This part might be a little too harsh but would solve a lot of problems at the same time.

just musing,

'stuce

How about a plat sink? I remember mounts and crap were supposed to be utilized as platinum sinks to help the economies some. This is unclassic and I hated mounts in EQ but I think something even if its something based around an event like a casino or some such to draw in the plat from the server that is just sitting on toons would be a decent start. Hell even allowing the purchase of titles would be something that is not game breaking and could suck up excess plat.

I don't think a reset is necessary to fix these issues and would probably hurt the server more than anything.

The issue with selling guises or pot binds or titles for ridiculous amounts of PP is that the only people who would spend crazy money on those things are the people whose money isn't in circulation right now anyways.

And a casino? I guess it's pretty likely that would suck up more PP from an average player than it would from someone who already has more PP than he knows what to do with. But that isn't really helping long-term, it's just going to maybe drive down prices right now while making the super-rich even more powerful, economically speaking, when Velious rolls around and they open up their bank accounts.

I guess both might work? I don't know.

Just make all NPC armor/weapons no drop. No need for a platsink then as npc items wouldn't have a value. Tradeskills becomes more valuable. But then all the people who twink out their level 1 alts with a Fungi tunic will QQ. But yeah, I would love to play on a new P99 server. If anything, it would give me a few months without rampant twinking and powerleveling.
