In Response, How many would start on a new blue server?

rolling servers ftw!

Every year, you launch 1 new server, and release an expansion for the old server, then once it hits a year into Velious, merge it into existing blue server.

That way you have your big old ugly large corrupt bloated server like now, but then you also have cool ones where people can start anew once a year! that way you always have 1 server in each expansion - Huzah!

Sounds like a lot of work for the devs, nobody thinks of that when these ideas emerge.

Also you'll spread the player base too thin and not encourage people to get their epics and "finish" their characters.

What happens 1-2 months before the merge is due, people rolled on it to get away from all the twinking/mudflation etc...will either quit or not bother starting.

All new servers turn into old servers, and its a matter of maybe 3-4 weeks before you start seeing people twinking an alt, or having leveled a druid/necro, farmed the appropriate gear etc.

The best way is to continue on the current blue server timeline, and choose yourself not to twink at all and level up based on what you loot and can gather [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Or better still, roll on red and truly start from scratch. Its weird how people came to P99 for a classic EQ experience but won't ditch all their twink gear because they're too comfortable. Red gives you a real fresh start.

just restart blue with an actual classic timeline
