What's the reason

It is "classic" (50 cap) but it has some PoP and Luclin zones redesigned to be sub level 50 content. All of those custom zones will be dungeons and have entrances off of existing zones to keep the world small.

They also identify gaps in power between classes and add PVP token items to compensate, allow 2 boxing, added the nexus to use for portaling and bazaar/shadowhaven as the safe tradeskill/banking/trading and respawn area. You spawn with all of your gear in a PVE or PVP death.

So I wouldn't call it a classic server, more of a revamped vanilla EQ server based around 2 team PVP with city takeovers.

Those guys could give a fuck about duplicating the shitty PVP experience of classic EQ and instead aim on making PVP the focus and the game enjoyable.

It is also 6 month seasons with leaderboard carryover and possibly a title as a reward for being top 3.

Cannot speak for others but Devnoobs boxes always felt lacking and not real, not sure how to exactly describe it. Like if you lose a fight over a mob it doesnt have that fell of a loss. Almost like playing poker with fake chips like you can play and go through the motions but dont feel the real consequence of a loss.

red is not perfect. Wish i could change a lot but once again speaking for myself. I like that I can play, take a break and come back and my character is here.

Vztz had several wipes. Every time there was a wipe the server popped up in population because the people who were not on top come back and see if this time will be different but they usually quit like they did last time and you lose a portion of your veteran players because they lost the character they had and just dont want to do it over again.

Do not get me wrong for like 1-2 months after a wipe its fun but then its just back to what it was before with either same guild or a differnt guild. If Red wipes be it nihilum, empire, azrael, friends or someone else entirely will eventually be on top and we back at the same point and people will ask for a wipe.

the security is why I play

rogean has given me almost 6 years of everquest somewhat classic everquest

this coming from a shards of delya player I found blue 99 2 weeks after it went public

knowing there is no wipe ever

I can take real life breaks and come back to one of my 13 60's 7 with epics and 100k disposable plat at any time

since I would never rmt my accounts are like a time bank and I can pass this 18 year old elf sim to my grandchildren

I have the game on an sd card

as long as I have blood in my veins I can log into my everquest and not worry about dev noob falling asleep at the wheel

This is why the right argues against welfare.

Wipe it clean & send everyone who played here a T-shirt they can wear when they go to golden corral or file their disability claim/unemployment status. Because that is the only time they leave the house.

There is definitely some truth to that. The fast exp rates and easier raids don't give the same sense of character progression for example. I think that is why they are ultimately embracing the seasonal aspect though - if you're probably going to wipe just to breath life into the server after 4-5 months anyway, why not make that part of what the server is about?

Having a short lifespan server by design gives you a lot of flexibility with things like exp rates, drop rates, events, gear in general, etc. Worst case scenario something doesn't work out and a few months down the road its a moot point. Diablo 3 has proven how the seasonal model can actually be sustainable long term.

I feel that at this point, only this kind of server could draw me in. Ive beaten nostalgia to a bloody pulp and the fun parts of Rallos to me were the incessant low level pvp and the awesome trading hub (Gfay) where you could sell pieces you got off from PVP. A server where i can be 60 in a week or 2 of poop socking, try out the classes i havent yet and rain pixels on my alts to go play white knight and defend the noobs in crushbone on the side.

Some hybrid of eve online/shadowbane/SWG and EQ would be something that has immense potential IMO. Some kind of sovereignty holding mechanism where guilds hold some spots, maybe spawning extra guards when they pay plat, etc... I played an hybrid WoW server like that called UOWoW where you dropped everything you had on death and could build housing. I mean a game should have come out already thats doing this with a modern engine, which is the only reason why im entertaining the idea, because the alternatives are so shitty.

Every time you go out of your way to try to make me understand how much you dont care solidifies my assesment that you do care, alot. This is super transparent, you do realize that?

I guess you dont or youd stop doing it.
