Beating a Dead Horse

[Chaboo_Cleric]

Server is alive and thriving. It's got its load of rejects leave it alone.

wipe plz, remember some people get so addicted to elf quest they will play endless alts no matter how shit server is

[Colgate]

not even a wipe can save everquest from being everquest

[iruinedyourday]

Recycle99 can't wait! Only 6 more years!

[VZ_Xanit K'ven]

parallel Server with classic timeline would be the promised land

[Izmael]

Wipes would drive away everyone but the most hardcore beards.

A casual fuck like myself already finds gearing up pretty hard. If there was a wipe I'd never ever connect to R99 again in my life.

So unless you wanna play on a 15 pop server with all the FQ bio waste weirdos, don't wish for a wipe.

if i dont recognize ur name ur opinion is worth less than dogshit

people playing here 3 months afraid of getting their one level 42 druid character wiped meanwhile others have access to 30+ raid geared level 60s

rogean u doin an social experiment on agatha or something?

wheres da wipe

[Aesop]

so what's going to change with a wipe? you gonna come out on top this time or something? because if you wipe it, just gonna be the same old shit different people in the end -- unless you guys want rolling wipes or some shit.

generally directed at the people who want a wipe.

remove YT, remove OOC.

if you do wipe then remove the exp bonus as well. red don't need no welfare exp. bonus

I can't speak for others, but I don't really care who's "on top." I imagine the same people who have the time and dedication to max out several endgame toons now would do so again if the server was wiped. No, this isn't about changing the result. It's about enjoying the journey there again.

Because, in the end, isn't that what p1999 is about?

And I agree with taking away experience bonus, YT, ooc, etc. That stuff doesn't really matter one way or the other to server health. The experience boost was added to get less patient people to come here, and OOC and YT just make the server seem busier than it actually is.

Global OOC discourages talking and grouping within the guild, since you can do so globally and need the guild less. YT gets people to run away from PvP, not wanting to be embarrassed in front of the server. Neither is good for community.

Fair enough. I do think it's about the journey which is why most everyone gears out then quits.
