New Server Announced - Page 3

Zexa · #21 05-23-2010, 03:35 PM

After years of lobbying for a new prog/classic server and even re-upping my account to vote for it, I have accepted that they will never release a new one, at least not one without station cash. They have made it very clear that cash for in game items is the model they are aggressively pursuing.

But then again...why announce a new server after merging so many if it's not going to have a special spin to it. I'll be looking forward to seeing what they do.

I tried the progression servers. Hated them.

There was no point playing on them unless you played 40 hours a week. With a new expansion launching every month, I think I hit level 44 or so by the time PoP came out. At that point, I quit.

I have no problem with progression servers, but don't throw us a new expansion every month. I quit EQLive because I was getting a new one every SIX months.

If I'm playing EQ anywhere, it's here or trying to make my old out-of-date characters uber again without having to start from scratch.

What P1999 has is light years before anything that SOE could, can and will do. With dedicated people like Nilborg ([You must be logged in to view images.

I have not had this much fun since the original EQ release and I am not letting go of this feeling.

Simply put, SOE is fail. Therefore anything SOE does = fail. Theyll never again get my money.

Yeah fuck SOE, I paid for about 2 months during that server vote bullshit. Never again. Unless this server gets nuked by the North Koreans.

I remember paying to play.
It made me feel like I needed to log on for x hours every day or else I was wasting my money.
I remember the rate race of having to try and stay above the curve with gear, quests, progression.
No thank you! I'm too old for that shit.

Yet here we are trying to half assed emulate them including the reasons why they failed. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Our server is in Asheville, NC.

Here's hoping they don't target that first.

I feel like I should give you a history lesson on how wrong everything you just said was, but I think given the time elapsed since you posted this, its probably already sunk in, and you regret your comments. Theres simply no reason for this kind of ignorance.

However, I could be wrong, and you could just be that big of a dolt.
