Proposal: Continuous Resetting Progression Server

[Doors]

What you down syndrome retards fail to realize is that if they don't wipe it, lets say 2 years after Velious has been on farm status by even casuals, the server will die. Actually it will probably have been dead if they haven't wiped it by this point, or gone in a different direction like Luclin (lol) or custom content (even worse than wiping the server.)

Just because you want to bank all your rare shit and let it sit there does not mean it's a good idea to let the server die. Anyone opposed to a wipe years after velious is a fucking moron period. You don't know what you're talking about. servers die whenever theres no where else to go with them.

I only read the title of this thread but it is a dumb idea.

Don't play into the hands of the box wipe committee.

A seperate progression server that resets is cool.

I actually like the concept behind this. Minus the short amount of time you're putting on the reset. The second server should be exactly like the first server as a time line. That would prevent the "flood of new items" that everyone seems to be complaining about, because we're talking atleast a 3 year time period.

Everyone on this server has to understand something. This server isn't gonna last forever. It's going to wither and die, the developers have stated over and over again they have no intention of going past Velious, and even less intention of talking about it for years. If it doesn't go past Velious, everyone is going to get tired of zero new content after a few years. Custom content or wipe, none of the options are pretty. This allows people to maintain original toons, and allows people to get the reset they desire.

What I would propose for P1999 is just to mirror the current server (with same expansions -- ie not an actual "progression" server) but just start with a fresh character base. Easy to maintain, all items easily transferable.

I dunno, you'd be making 25 people very mad if that happened before P99 red went live [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Why is more people getting to see a fresh EQ server a bad thing?

Some of us missed the 99 launch and the p99 launch.

PLUS p99 has made a lot of non-classic things classic and could do a much closer to 1999 launch today than they did the first time around...

Yes, kind of a head-scratcher to me.
