A question about a fresh server?

[Buellen]

why do you all need a fresh server? It always a little confusing to me when people asking for one.


A new server become flooded with plat really quidkly. From what i remember of live within 2 weeks or less people will be killing Naggy / Vox . Within a Month most of the good classic camps are perm camped if not earlier.

It is a perception problem from my point of view: People /player view a fresh as wonderful and fesh BUT it is only that for a very very very short period of time.

You can form a a small group or guild to play how a new server feels (Almost) Just stick to Original EQ content and gear. YOU can play this way here on P1999. It is not easy due to high amount of good gear from kunark available for cheap. IT a matter of how dedicated you are to this play style.

Anyhow my 2 cents.

You can definitely do something like that, but it isn't the same as being on a fresh server. For me the enjoyment is not in getting an "early start" or some kind of advantage from starting before others, if anything it takes significantly less effort to get yourself geared up on an older server. But its just the experience of being on a new server where the majority of the population is leveling and scrambling for loot that I enjoy, it just can't really be replicated in any other manner.

People really want a "fresh Server where no one knows anything about the game" because thats the only way to get a true fresh classic experience. You can open as many "fresh" servers as you want but you cant wipe people's memories on how to demolish the content and shit.
