Reset server

I don't. And let me be clear.. it'd be nice for most of the players and for me personally. It would allow low level zones to be re-explored, bugs previously undiscovered to be reported, and adds that initial rush feeling.

Resetting the server is a horrible idea, though. People do not play when they feel their time can be reset on a whim. Live servers don't do that and neither do we.



It's apparently in style to joke about RMT.... anywhere and everywhere to exacerbate trolling.

Sure, they didn't do it on live servers...but at the same time I dont think Kunark stayed out for so long before Velious was released on live. Only 1 year if I remember.
Kunark being out for too long without Velious has pretty much fucked up the server economy. If you think people won't be willing to start all over again, then wait for the eqclassic.org project to complete and see how many people will be willing to have a fresh start.
Hell even the jerks from TMO will be willing to have a fresh start when even their lvl 1 bard/monk mules will have a fungi/jboots and FBSS

Just make Project 2013 - Project 1999 Re-launch.

New server... same shit... start from scratch. Call it...

Better than The Sleeper - nilbog's reroll server

You get people who want to start fresh, and people who want to stay or both!

Nilbog gets people reporting old bugs... and people will still want to raid velious! (perhaps this should be released once Velious brings server pop to 2k+?)

Just my 2 cps.

When Velious is over and everyone is bored, I sincerely hope they release a second server which will follow the same major changes and progression, but either at a live-like time pace or faster.

I would totally do this all again.

Oh for sure.

But mother fuck all the people who keep whining for a reset right now because they think it would "level the playing field" for more than a week or two.

[Woahnelly]

Maybe the playing field will get leveled for a week or two if TMO is found guilty of raid stalling/training...

Over? How about as it releases?

Heck they have a perfectly good, unused server that is hosting p99-red, just use that.

I agree, barely 50 players on it most of the time...

Am i the only one who thinks it would be awesome if they just reset the server so everyone had to start at scratch again? It would fix the economy and would level the playing field out again, also give everyone something to do instead of complaining about velious release.

Check out that server being talked about below this thread. Launches tomorrow. That might satisfy your reset boner.

Last year I would probable agree with you nilbog. But after going on vacation for most of feb 2012 and coming back to find my guild had vacated p99 and a significant quantity decided to cash out my opinion is that it's very prevalent. In a way it's a testament to your success in recreating a classic eq experience. Being a young millionaire I personally think rmting in a game is a rather tough way to make a living. A few big consolidators will make nice coin, but 99% of the folks are converting plat to cash at a horrible rate of return. the folks who quit and cash out might make a little mad money but anyone who plays eq to pay rent is working for less than peasants in 3rd world countries.
