I'm abstaining. I'd love to do what is suggested here, which is skip Luclin and go straight from Velious to PoP. You'd be missing out on Ssra, but that's the major zone that would be missed with skipping Luclin.

I don't recall the name of it and it would have to be thematically repopulated, but I liked the zone with the Ellysians in it. I also loved Veksar, although it was not Luclin per se .... if I remember correctly, it came between Velious and Luclin.

Velious, server wipe, Vanilla, Kunark, Velious, server wipe, ...

You get the idea.

maybe introduce AA's after velious has been out a year or two. Say no to luclin though

The server pop can't handle more than Velious IMO. It's not like there aren't enough dead zones already with just Kunark.

That's because people got 60 and quit playing, or quit playing other than raiding. Server pop used to be over 1k. Some zones deserve to be dead anyways. There is no such thing as a constantly successful game that doesn't provide new content or at least character progression

I'd say all the expansions on the titanium client that gets used for this server are pretty much classic.

that's up to what? Dragons of Norrath?

That was exactly what killed EQ IIRC.

As the player based leveled up and moved on to experience the new content (with better items, exp and so on) it turned the lower level zones in wastelands. New players trying to find groups to level with in an extremely group dependent game (for the most part, there are classes that solo just fine) would more than likely have left in frustration.

I theorize that p99 will not suffer the same fate, since the content ceiling will keep players (1-30) in the majority of the non-Velious zones.

Most of the lower lvl content is solo'd duo'd nowadays so what are you talking about
