I think also someone just copy/pasting the original EQ but with modern graphics, mechanics, and new names of zones/items would be fairly successful.

We'll call it Eternal Expedition

P.S. disappointed this isn't a thread about erectile disfunction

The reason I think it would work on blue is because of the large population of inactive but geared characters, it would start running. Sure the red psychos would probably be an issue but with large population their impact would diminish. Just a new well of content for people who already have other things to play. Raiding would have a new dimension too.
EQ is a great pvp game! It's just a huge barrier of entry on red. I think it would revitalize blue. The issue is the admin staff not being able to see it. What's the worst that could happen, blue would die? Who cares.

Make Blue Purple.

Adding red to blue would be functionally equivalent to wiping blue.

Nobody wants to play your way.

You've ruined your own lands, you'll not ruin mine.

Okay, lets ignore the issues of whether always on pvp is something blue would even be intersted in.

If the premise is that blue is hermoraging players, how on earth is a one time boost of +6 players going to actually help with that?

I think *some* pvpers believe their skillz translate to IRL awesomeness. Only bluebies call they mummies and daddies to fix the sandbox.

I actually love playing on Blue because it's so easy to get most camps at most hours. Even if you can't get a camp the people are generally so chill that they will probably legit give you the camp since most of them are playing AFK anyways.

That being said, I would like to see either a new server and/or merge of P99 blue and green. Like the game doesn't even feel like WoW now, most of my groups are in full Skyshrine and Dragon Loot. They telling me not to bother CC'ing or slowing mobs because they can't hurt our tank anyways and would rather just toss out a complete heal every so often. And they aren't wrong.

For me the real EQ is when y'all are struggling to do MM CE with a full group.

It's so fun.

Also the camps you do are so different than the ones you currently do it's like a whole new game.

I wish I wiiiiiiiiiiiiish.

I remember the day Mischief launched [You must be logged in to view images.

A Ranger in my group got a polished granite tomahawk and everyone on the server freaked out because that was considered a good item at the time.

But also it makes zones like UR, which generally have terrible loot, actually decent. I remember getting a pearl kedge totem at fireplace. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
