The "different strokes" argument is bs.

I think what he meant was those who don't want item loot can stay on Red99 and those who do can move to the new server. That way everyone is happy.

Yeah, it sucks that it will split the population, but I would rather play on a lowly populated server with item loot than any server without item loot regardless of the population.

item loot does not work in eq, period

Maybe not for you, but it does work for me and many others. This is why we should each have a server so we can all be happy.

Again. Different strokes for different folks.

That isn't how life works guys, sorry. The server is barely holding enough population to sustain it as it is, building you guys your sandbox would just create two shitty servers.

server will never ever ever have item loot, so why even mention it?

are you retarded?

There are a couple things.

1: A desire for a new server that enjoys a fresh start and a totally classic timeline and expansion progression.
2: The only play type not currently offered and the most unique play type EQ has to offer is an item loot pvp server.

The fact that the experience will be novel in the gaming industry as a whole today, let alone for the majority of eq players while being a very close approximation to classic experience makes it the best and most obvious choice for P99s third server.

If it proves to be a failure or its success ultimately murders the current pvp server I imagine that a merger will happen in one form or another at the end of the new servers progression. However I dont think there is a significant reason to expect this to be neccesary and either way the pop will be more satisfied.

Custom PvP servers open up all the time. The devs here aren't interested in making custom servers. They will tell you to go experiment yourself.

When other servers do it they fail btw.

A small percentage of people who play MMORPGs play EQ emus.

A small percentage of those people play on PVP servers.

A small percentage of the small percentage want item loot.

Server would be the closest to classic replica ever HippoNipple.

A large percentage of current, would be, and retired eq players want a fresh solid server to enjoy and would be willing to give item loot a try if only to enjoy the classic era.

If it flops you don't have anything to lose Kergan. If it is a success, it makes a lot of people happy and produces more donations for staff. Low risk, high potential for reward. Its a no brainer and by offering a ruleset not offered by existing p99 servers it minimizes damage to their pop.
