Would you donate for a new blue server?

I'd donate and play on new server if movelog was incorporated. Maybe I'm selfish, but I don't have the desire to do everything over on my character again.

So basically people are voting yes for instanced raiding

It's a fun fill in the blanks game we call can play!

That would be even better! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Some people actually enjoyed playing EQ past Luclin.

The idea to split the server into casual/hardcore or rotation/FFA wouldn't be a "split". A huge portion of the server would move -- including those who currently aren't in raiding guilds.

We'd end up with the current box being low pop (except during repops) and the new box would eventually have 327 raiding guilds rotating and seeing VS once per generation. Velious' eminent release somewhat alleviates this concern as there are some mobs that the 20 casual raiding guilds yet to be formed wouldn't have the chops to kill anytime in the foreseeable future, but there would still be a problem unless there was some sort of qualification or restriction as to who could move.

If there is a problem that needs to be solved, I think it should focus on giving casual raiding guilds more opportunity at Kunark mobs once Velious comes out. That opportunity should include some forced competition between the "R" guilds and it should come at a price that restricts a significant amount of Velious content as "incentive" to get a couple (literally) of the "R" guilds to move on from Kunark content and start competing in Velious.

must be a TMO member if you think you can dictate how other people enjoy their time on this server

You're wrong. I am not in TMO. And I don't think I can dictate anything. The staff wants competition. They've said it over and over. I don't think any solution that totally eliminates competition would ever be approved.

If a rotation server were put in place tomorrow, and it coincided with the release of Velious, I can think of two guilds that would instantly gain a large influx of pixels (almost as large as their respective memberships) by the benefit of rotating all the Kunark mobs and then rotating all the Velious mobs that currently only they can kill exclusively between themselves.

Right now being in "R" as a small guild sucks because 1) we don't get as many opportunities as we'd like, 2) the idea that we can truly compete with the entrenched FFA guilds is ridiculous and 3) as new guilds join (or are poised to join) the rotation diluting the pixel opportunities further, there's two guilds that can compete with IB/TMO and just choose not to.

Couple of months ago I tried to drum up donations to help with the release of Velious, which would help everyone on the server: almost universal hatred for the idea

Chest makes a thread about creating an entire server dedicated to a dozen or so guilds: almost universal support

I don't understand you people

Its easy to say you will support something... Its the doing that's the problem.

Everyone who donates and moves would be sad to find out all the same shit still happening.
