All good points, there are certainly positives to the negatives. But even if the population does explore every newbie area in the game the first week of a wipe is going to suck. But it's just a week or so, so be it. And if the server gets wiped I'll probably just start over (or not), I won't have any nerd rage over it.

And correct, i just started in December and have a main of level 34 (and one account). I'm a professional engineer and have a few hours a few nights a week to play and a bit more on weekends. I'll never have an impressively geared character or much plat, just here to have fun. I am not even that interested in buying gear with plat i earn in game, I'm enjoying looting gear and questing it myself but I may buy a few peices here and there someday.

I do disagree with you about the inability to play here untwinked, mainly because I have done it. Sure, I'm wearing a raw silk robe right now but so what? i can still participate and do ok. it is harder with a pure melee class though, I get that. But as a caster or priest class it's very doable. I'd rather have an undergeared cleric who knows what he's doing and paying attention in my group than someone who is twinked who is afk have the time and surfing the internet the other half, and for the record I have definitely encountered the later.

Oh, and i certainly wasn't whining about what people can acheieve, I was responding to the person who suggested a wipe in order to fix the broken raid scene. personally i doubt i will ever raid and certainly am not in competition to achieve what someone else can in a 16 year old computer game.

If there would be a wipe, sure the first week will feel like the first week that original EQ came out. That's not really a bad thing. You can disagree with me all you would like about playing here untwinked, you're practically a newborn here since you started in december, you're experiencing p99 for the first time. I've been here since the start of the server, believe me when I say there's a difference in the level of fun/classic between starting a new character that is in nothing but rags but seeing others who are twinked every 30 feet to starting in rags and seeing everybody else in the same.
