i would make that new server such that it automatically restarts every year.

Would anyone roll on that server after month 6-7? It's asking for a ghost town.

As a fairly new player I would like to jump in and offer my 2 copper:

It would be fun to experience the server in the gear it was designed for. As a brand new player It took me almost no time to farm up the plat I needed to buy a set of banded mail and a silver swiftblade. However being able to buy gear that amazing with no more effort than farming wisps for an hour in WC has really removed my ability to acquire any upgrades from questing/camping/grouping for a loooong time.

Of course no one is forcing new players to buy gear in EC - but its no fun being the only non-twink in a group. (especially if you are carrying a 40% exp penalty along for the ride as well)

TL/DR: The server is amazing and fantastic but Recycle99 can't come fast enough because I want to experience everything from day1 again.

GO BACK TO WOW!

"Everybody else has better gear than me, please even the playing ground by wiping the server"

I sometimes wonder if I am playing on the same server as people who make these type of posts.

The effort you need to put in to be competitive later levels on this server IS insane. That is why I moved to P2002, I am a casual player. It takes a long time to travel here due to classic = no poK books, and when you reach your destination there might be a queue. In fact there might be a queue to anything worth killing in the 2-hour slot you are able to play.

The market on P99 however, is very nice. Plenty of gear to be had for a decent price. Plenty of ways to earn money to buy decent newbie and mid-level gear. High end gear is out of reach though.

But in general P99 is a hardcore server for people with lots of time to spend and a fanatical interest in the pre-luclin version of EQ. The advantage is that when you played for a year on P99 any other server feels like easy mode.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think the P2002 crew would do themselves favors by just adopting the full titanium client instead of the hacked one they are using.

As for the Re99 server, it's what I am holding out hope for more than anything. Not a wipe of this server, but just a fresh one with a fresh timeline.

How about a new server where anyone who reaches level 55 on p99 is automatically transfered to the new server. They can only keep what they have equipped. Bags and bank are stripped clean. 😈

Thus eliminating much of the drive for current p99 players to play on a new refresh server.

Yea, the client (and population) is what really turns me off about P2002. The client is awful and boxing is a no-go.

EDIT: The biggest issue is definitely the top heavy nature of P99.
