If a new p99 server opened with forced raid target rotations would you switch?

Of course TMO would be against this idea...its not the fun of getting pixels that is fun for a lot of them, it is more fun denying them to other people. Plus, probably the only people left on original P99 would be TMO.

Not sure why you guys are so against others having fun, with all your "go play another game" and "make your own server" blah blah blah Oh, wait, see my first point.

We get it. You guys are the best. You guys put in the time. You guys are the masters of EQ. (at least this non classic, 13 years later server)

Sorry that the other 75% of the server would like to see some more of everquest without dealing with your crap, and sucking you off because you guys were so generous as to leave an actual raid mob up for someone else to kill.

I imagine a fresh server would make the population explode. So many people I know who left, not because they were sick of eq, but they were sick of this entitled attitude that the top people have.

Red99 would still have 15 people on. Current P99 would have 100 people on it. New server would have 800 people on it.

Guess TMO people worried they spent all that real money on something that wouldn't be worth as much with a new server.

Give the players a choice. Those that love batphoning and poopsocking can stay here. Those that just want to game a few hours and have a civil rotation, like many classic servers were, can go to a new home.

Agree with everything 100%

Everyone would abandon original blue 99 if a new server opened, including top (hours-spent) players. Getting the shinies is not fun without others to admire.

I would like a server for 98% of EQ players. Our little raiding / co-op guild on Brell in 99 never had to race to content. If we had the force, we got the content. Luckily, "racing to content" was not popular back then. The 2% of EQ players who think that EQ is some huge competition are in the extreme minority...and they have chased the other 98% of players away from the game.

Sad that (I think) the stewards of P99 (devs/gm's/etc) are in that 2% as well.

Here's my idea for preventing that 2% from chasing away the other 98%.

1. Either give out raid tokens so folks with the force can do the raid once a week
or
2. Make it so each toon can participate in each raid encounter once only. Assuming the target dies, the player cannot engage that mob again ever.

I prefer option 2 or some derivative of it. This would create a vibrant economy. If a player reeaaally wants that raid encounter again, they can spend two days powerleveling another toon. When I played P99 in 2010, powerleveling was rampant.
