It would happen a lot faster if the staff didn't have to keep dealing with PetitionQuest and could focus on other things. For example, just because Sirken isn't coding, doesn't mean he doesn't have a hand in getting Velious out the door as soon as possible. The more time he has to spend answering raid petitions over people's bullshit, the more time he has taken away from working on actual things. Throw Rogean, Derubael, and everyone else who multitasks on staff into the mix and that puts deadlines WAY behind.

The bosses have said time and again that CSR and Dev work are separate.

There are a number of devs/coders working behind the scenes, as they get the time or inclination to work on it.

Sirk/Deru might pop on beta from time to time to check out people's raids, but them having more free time won't get it out any faster.

Voted fresh start because a classic->kunark->velious progression server would be amazing a few years down the road.

Not interested in it as a "fix" to the raid scene, though.

Yes

all the butthurt in the raid scene is just the effect of being stuck/bottle-necked in kunark for 4x longer than live. even on our low-pop (by live-era standards) server there are far too many people trying to get in on the raid scene, and far too few mobs to support them. velious does a good job of spreading players out more, but i suspect we will be having this same conversation about poopsocking rare velious content if nothing new comes out after 4 years in that expansion...

The Velious conversation will be within months of launch. There aren't 10 additional levels plus massive epic quests to attain in new content. Aside from Coldain rings and shawls, it's mostly just faction grinding and drop loot.

I don't think anything would be transferred from one server to another.

Sounds preposterous.

Don't need old pixels on a new server.

Fresh Day 0 with Velious with your character name already reserved from your blue or red account.

Just like a new server in late 2000/2001. No legacy items, no mass amount of overpowered clickies, no massive bank accounts, no mega twinks.

Some might call it paradise.

This man. He knows.

Identical to Vazaelle. No Donals, no prenerfs, none of that garbage like /tar * named cycle farming, no huge abundance of 2-3mannable stuff. Just A perfect world. It would be awesome to meet folks I otherwise wouldn't, forge new friends, do that awesome stuff like those crazy 10 man lower guk groups to get stuffs.

The most important part is that it wouldn't be about the raid scene. We wouldn't need rotations, we would just need a fresh start and a chance to set the mood from the get go. A server and it's raid scene is largely the result of it's people, and I believe the people who would leave their p99 pixels are not the 'shit this place up' kind of folk.

An interesting thought on top of this (which I've suggested as project2000 for over 2 years) would be to restrict p1999 access somehow. So you avoid the batphone neckbeardig whilst also playing 2000.
