5 Great Reasons to Wipe it Clean - Page 21

Sure it'd suck to lose my fungi and plat and gear, but I'd readily give up what I've accumulated over 3 years to play with everyone brand new and hoping for a cracked staff or reveling in my first fine steel drop with the zones bursting with players.

It took me 2 1/2 years to level up my toon precisely because I don't play that often and am not addicted. In truth, the people who are whining about wanting it wiped are the ones who play too much, otherwise they wouldn't much care about what others have that they don't, and they would realise how much time it takes to level a character if you have shit to do outside of the game. Poppycock, my only concern is putting an end to the annoying lag that keeps battering groups and raids. A velious launch would also be nice.

I don't get the whole "I've been here too long enjoying classic EQ, if you deleted everything and made it classic EQ I'd quit."

Like I've said before I'm fine either way, I enjoy the game as is but would also still play if there were to be a wipe. Its a win-win either way.

1. The server is 4 years old and still on kunark. With the original intent of the server to follow classic timeline progression, I dont think anyone expected p99 to go past 4 years without a reset, termination, or lucilin progression.

2. The server is still on kunark, a reset would not only give nilbog breathing room for velious development,it would give people something to do again instead of (cant believe im sayong this) farm epics to sell....

3. You cant tell me the majority of p99rs dont browse the forum... 200+ viewing server chat as we speak. This is EQ not counterstrike, what else do you think people on here do when they are bored at work / school?

4. This is an emulated server... If you played here with the intention of all your "hard work" lasting through the ages you have a screw loose. The devs owe us nothing, and could have scrapped it at any point in the last 4 years.

Wiping the server is not the answer.

Starting a new server is.

This

My vote goes to starting a fresh server, and leaving the current for those who wish to remain.

For those of you saying you would 100% quit if there was a wipe. Regardless if you're a 6-month vet or several years. I have a question....

Aren't you playing because it's classic EQ? And not because you've now acquired lots of goodies? What if the devs came out and said "We lost all data, it's gone... we had a catastrophic failure and the backups aren't loading, we have to start over, sorry everyone..." Would you leave then? Would you leave if the game got wiped accidentally? I'm genuinely curious... because if in 2002 SoE announced my server got wiped accidentally, or intentionally because of unforseen circumstances... I most certainly wouldn't of quit playing...

I'm just wondering...

Tell me then, if we do wipe and start over, how would be stop all the problems from happening again, or the raid meta currently established in the game?

Tell me. All I hear are people repeating themselves without giving a solid explanation as to how this will fix these type of problems.

So tell me, give me something that makes sense and gives your side of the argument some credibility.

If I wanted shit yelled at me over and over again that made absolutely no fucking sense I'd call my Mother-in-law.

Well, for starters it would completely destroy the market for possible RMT for a very long time, not indefinitely but a very long time.

A fresh server gives the opportunity to really micro-manage the total platinum on the server and also keep track of the high end items switching hands. As it is now, it is impossible to know what is legit and what isn't after so many years of corruption and exploits.

A fresh server comes with a lot of opportunity for the staff to make changes to preemptively combat future problems.

As for the "unspoken millions of players that dont visit the forums" lol

Nobody playing p99 right now should be against a fresh start. Progression servers weren't the hottest shit to hit Live EQ in the past decade for nothing.
