Would you donate for a new blue server?

I suck at PvP and I'm not very good at EQ in general. But I love it. Red would be great if I didn't feel like I would spend most of my time on CR.

Being honest.

I can't speak for the blue community as a whole, but personally over the last 15 years I have played many other PvP games. I have learned that EQ PvP is horribly designed and there are MUCH better options if I want to enjoy PVPing. Now I could get into why EQ PvP is terrible, but I have things to do and that explanation would take a long time.

Now you could argue that EQ PVE is terrible, but it's unique and frankly I don't play p99 for cutting edge PVE encounters. I play on blue to relax with a slow paced game and enjoy some nostalgia. Also, to see some stuff I missed out on long ago at the birth of my online video game experience.

Now, I also played on PvP servers back in the day. Half the time I spent playing EQ was on either VZ or SZ. But those experiences could not possibly be relived on red99. Red99 is top heavy and raid-centric. On VZ I never got above lvl 25 on my rogue(who was my main on VZ). That's not to say I didn't play him, I played him all the time, I had 30+ days played, but my focus wasn't on leveling, it was on killing elves. Same thing with my shaman on SZ. If I saw someone who was red, my friends and I didn't rest until they were dead or we died in the process of trying to kill them.

Anyway, hope that answers some of your questions.

Voted yeah simply because the first year-ish of this server was an absolute blast. Some of the most fun I've had playing any game. Will be less fun the third time around but meh. Probably quit at 60 anyways since I despise rotations. Don't see this happening within the next couple years anyways.

shut up and take my money (for a new server)

I'd be interested to see how many people donated today and wrote notes about a new server :P

It's neat seeing the people who already have all the advantages of starting on the server from the beginning not wanting other people to have that same enjoyment.

Would fund.

That's what I see.

Also, it will be interesting to see how the class c guilds feel about being the most geared characters on a server everyone else has moved on from.

Honestly, I feel like that's a likely factor for the devs when considering this. They would have to be worried that the server they've been planning to turn into a custom content server may be abandoned for a place where civility reigns. There are far more casual players that would be interested in a rotation server than tryhard neckbeards that prefer to "compete" (aka spending as much time plugged in as possible).

My last post on the matter.

What makes you think LOTS of class C folk who hate the current system wouldn't also move, and play at a much more relaxed pace without our hands being forced, and with a natural order/unwritten agreement to PNP and mutual respect. I know plenty.
