The guy with over a million of plat against new server. IMAGINE THAT!

I'm not even old money, dude. I made 90% of my plat in the last 12 months, I hardly played in classic, I've never won an op legacy item, and I didn't even farm the shit out of king or royals or unclassic trade skills or camps people would like to XP at to do it. Don't point at me like I am against a new server because I got rich with mechanics a new blue wouldn't have. I just played a lot and relatively intelligently instead of complaining that I didn't start on day 1 and so the odds are stacked against me.

Still waiting on an explanation of why there should be a new server. Staff have said there won't be a thousand times. The least you could do in attempting to get one is say why you should.

What gets me about the people who want a new blue server is this: none of you guys ever really give reasons why the new server would be more fun for you. You just give reasons why the current one is less fun for you. OTHER people are rich. OTHER people are twinked. OTHER people are PLing. OTHER people are selling MQs. You seem to think that a faster progression will stop OTHER people from doing more stuff faster and better than you will.

I think you guys don't realize that there will be OTHER people on a new blue server too.

I understand where you're coming from, but I also am a proponent of your oppositions argument. You seem to be taking "everyone is a twink" as "I'm jealous and I want twinking" but did you ever think that it may be the contrary?

For example I started playing here a year ago. Started and by level 5 I had run into some kind stranger that gave me a nice SK only sword and a few pieces of gear. 40 elvels later I'm in at least 15k worth of gear and I hardly feel like I earned it... I earned the plat, sure, but that's just a waiting game. put 100 points in banded and watch it trick in. soon you'll have Best in Slot for pre-planar, thanks to the dwarf by shady who buys stuff ad lowball prices then gouges the hell out of everyone else.

Now no matter what character I make or where I level some random nice person (and I do thank you, random kind people) hands me gear (sometimes even when I am twink'd).

Now as much as I like to get new free things, this can take a lot of the classic nostalgia feeling. To know that within a couple days of playing a new character someone will probably give me some awesome gear.

It would do a lot to make the population stop quarreling (or cause more fighting, perhaps-- Im not expert in these matters) to kind of have to work together to survive instead of just hitting up a guildy with a spare fungi and burying ourselves even deeper into your already deeply dug niche.

If YOUR nostalgic feeling is ruined because YOU choose to accept gear/buffs from strangers, then it is YOUR problem. You don't need a new server, you need the willpower to click off that shissar or decline that new piece of gear in the trade window if making use of that buff/gear really ruins your fun.

When i asked this question, and youre asking for reasons why people would want to start fresh a Lot of people responded, and not with because people are too strong....people are gonna get strong regardless, who gives a shit? My point was that when this server started everything was still being worked on, people got tradeskills high easily, had maps, all kinds of stuff. Not a big deal the game was being worked on. I just think it would be good to start fresh with everyone and experience a 100% classic server with a 100% fresh start.

What makes you think this sort of thing wasn't happening in 1999?

Aren't yout he guy always responding to things with "isnt classic" pictures? So it's okay for you to nitpick and choose what is classic? I'm not saying it ruins my fun, and I'm certainly not giong to decline free buffs or itamz, but it certainly ruins the air of this being a challenging game.

Because this game did not come to a plateau in 99. It kept moving and changing. This game has been at the same poitn for how long now-- It's plateaued and causes this sort of slothful malaise. Whens the last time you saw a newbie wait for the boat? You want classic, how's a guy in Oasis begging for ports to west commons?

Im just saying, I love eq, but it sucks playing any game that's been stagnating for years.

unfortunately i was a few months for a guise...

wipe the server.
