Would you donate for a new blue server?

[myriverse]

Considering maybe donating, if it'll get people to shut up about new server this and that.

But really... no. Just no.

The point is your poll does absolutely nothing to test is a new server would be a viable option. Its just an ego booster.

I don't see the "Chest is Awesome" option.

You poor troll. There might be other ways to boost an ego. I have a very difficult time believing you are actually this stupid.

This. I am not trying to make it sound evil. Pay2win is viable on modern MMO's. A level playing field is something with rules that are easily applicable that all types of players can participate in whether it be casual or hardcore. What you are proposing to have caters to one type of player and you are saying you will pay to have it.

We need to work on the issues with this raid scene with common sense and make concrete rules that are easily understandable with very little gray area....To have a level playing field.

Lets run down your list for "level playing field" and see how rotation-enforced server does:
1) easily applicable - not your turn, avoid - check
2) all types of players can participate - you are allowed to play here, by the rules - check
3) casual - will pick P2000 - check
4) hardcore - can play with the easily applicable rules of P2000 or take their business/playtime to P1999 - check

P2000 would cater to casuals, but it does not exclude hardcores. Right now we have a server that caters to hardcores, and excluded casuals until the GMs put their foot down last January. Again, I haven't -won- anything against the PVE game that I did not have on P1999. Are you implying P1999 is not a PVE game? Because there's a lot of your ilk (read: class-C) that argue the competition is not PVP, you and them can't both be right.

I would donate generously for the ability to view more than 10 posts per page on this forum.

I'm concerned that splitting the population would result in an empty server. If I were sure both servers would have healthy populations, I would absolutely donate for more servers.

P99 would most likely become the empty one - and the two Class C guilds would slowly collapse or merge as their recruitment base would disappear.

Tiggles mentioned a couple times he had 20 posts per page. Not sure where that option went, but I didn't see it when I looked. Maybe after the forum was changed and then reverted, that option went away.

We would all just come to the Casual server and splinter into 18 separate guilds... for those rotations.

I don't think people comprehend the drawbacks of splitting blue's population.

It means it will be harder for people to find groups. This is going to prevent people who come on this server to try things out, from staying for any reasonable amount of time.

I get that some class R guilds still aren't happy with their free pixels that they weren't even getting before, but that seems like an awful reason to split this server's population.

If 'not getting enough mobs cuz TMO/IB gets most of them' is the primary motivation for a new server, wouldn't simply reducing all raid mob's spawn times in half be a better solution? Just a simple doubling of the total amount of raid content available. Seems like a far better solution to me that wouldn't involve turning both servers into servers not large enough to support lower level grouping at all levels.

Would donate as well as pay monthly if necessary. Know many people personally that would do the same.
