The Next Fix: Blue Copies

A copy is just a free character. Everyone will do it because there is no downside. Even if you never log it in you might as well. Same reason I have like 5 max level characters in TERA and EQ2...they gave them away so I took the 10 seconds to login and create them.

You might see a higher population but it will completely lack substance. That number is meaningless if it isn't people competing and putting effort into the server. I could run around the office and install EQ on every computer and create a level 1. Boom, +50 population...but meaningless just like this would be.

Then copy at lvl40, naked then, or level 50. Thats one of the reasons why i suggested a wipe, cuz people log in and face a brick wall of a solid month of soloing before theyll encounter any pop.

Again, if not this, what are other people's suggestions for the absolutely abysmal new player rate on this server with the ghost town environment and complete abcense of exp groups from 1-60? To say "deal with it" seems meh to me.

I think copying them over as level 40's would be good. I don't think the players on blue would even enjoy coming in at 60 and dealing with PvP like that from the beginning.

When you think of players coming over from blue I think the ones that would be good assets to the server would come over in small groups or possibly entire guilds. If they came over as 40's they could group up and see how much is for the taking on red compared to the overcrowded blue and may enjoy it.

I could see 40 being decent for a compromise as well.

not a terrible idea, but how do the people who don't know anyone on red get geared? other than the HB handouts lol

Imagine a server where everything isn't available in EC tunnel for free/50plat.

I know this is mind blowing for many.

You can pound out 400k in 6 months playing P99 blue as a 60 if you aren't an idiot and buy a bag of raid gear. Shit ain't classic 2 me. But, hey, the server has population and PvE fixes get all the attention. Not that I'm complainin' bout some gr8 EQ PvE mechanics, love them shits.

I dont support blue copies, i might support blue "movers" but with droppables and certain no drops removed.

I think server will pick back up with this new respawn script and velious, just give it some time

The issue this is meant to address is how difficult and uninviting this server is to new comers. This was meant as a way to quickly get people from Blue into the level range where they can actually play this game with other human beings [46+]. If someone has another suggestion of how to do so other than "TOUGH LUCK LULZ" please enlighten me. [Mine is boxing, but Nilbog has stated that boxing is basically 100% out of the question, so I did not bother suggesting that, and in all fairness boxing DOES come with a lot more issues than a one time copy or transfer with no items and potentially level capped comes with]

Unfortunately with the Azrael split 7.0, I think respawns are basically meaningless on this server and we'll see Nihilum get 100% of them. I've been on this server from the start. The player base here is incredibly toxic. The people I enjoy the most playing with are the fresh faces I recruited such as Lawlzies / Ryser / Pikrib amongst many others. We need more new players like this and less of the same old recycled Stasis like players.
