Camp taken you want , just train em etc etc.

I believe you could easily get 1/2 the current population to start over, hell the red people have already started over(and look how many ran to that for something different.)

Early EQ could not support a large bulk of the population in the same level range. Kunark is a very god example. You have kc and seb fairly easy mobs and seb has decent exp. Early on very few had HS keys and the zone is mean. Chardok is pretty mean as well and alot of casters who dont miss. So ideally you have 2 zones readily available for exp. And we had what 300 plus lvl 50's ready to rock on release?
To support 1k players 2 server are pretty much needed, and pvp is not the answer. Get 2 PvE servers up and running and i think you would see 300-500 on both at prime time. The new server would draw more crowd in, and the old would stay as it is.

But what about the players who like pvp? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I agree that two servers would be awesome.. but... (big but).. this is a free... ran on donations..

would probably take a bit to set that up.. not really sure what their funds are or if people would even be willing to toss money out.

The great thing is when they do release the new content, you and everyone else can always come back and have it here.


And go ape shit fighting over it in the true glory of EQ.

I'm a casual player. I put in some major hours over the past few months just to get to the super low level that I'm at with my two characters (12 and 14). I'm not twinked, I have no money, and it's pretty difficult to find a stable group. Having a server wipe would devastate my time sink.

HOWEVER: it would be nice to have a vast majority of people back in the low levels so I can finally get in a few solid groups. The people who are going to race to 60 are always going to race to 60, that won't change. I would vote for a wipe, but I haven't invested nearly as much time as other have.

That being said, I can see where those people who have invested hundreds (thousands) of hours are coming from. Of course, they don't want a wipe! It's understandable, and I sympathize with them.

Something that is important to note, however: This is not a democracy. Rogean owns the server. Our votes may voice our opinion, but a majority vote for a wipe doesn't mean everyone agrees; and you can guarantee some folks are going to get stepped on.

When was the last time the server was reset.. if ever?

I'm not against the idea of a reset.. i just don't think it should be done every 6 months to satisfy high game time people alone.


I think it would make sense to do a reset after a few years after p99 is in its final state.. (thats when velious is out so i believe?) when people are all happy with velious and if enough people want it.

As of now tho.. i'd vote no.. new server is out too the p99 red.. and i seen a ton of other servers out with low populations.. could grab a few friends and go hard mode there.. I was thinking of trying a solo ranger on one of the empty servers lol.

Dont like the way it is ? Quit.

Ive invested way too much time getting ahead of you losers just to get it wiped. I play by the rules, ive never been suspended, I deserve my character. So ;P

I'm actually enjoying not having to compete for every large rat or bat or having to quest for exp because they are being killed as fast as they spawn.
Wouldn't bother me too much one way or the other.

Why even make this thread? The admins have already proven that their goal is to run a server based on integrity. That means the chance of them listening to an ill-conceived, extremely self-serving idea is nil to none. The newly reset server would play out the EXACT same way the current one has. It would not abolish inflation or monopolization, nor any of the other perceived problems. The only thing it would do is anger a loyal playerbase and appease a crowd of people who have already proven they will not be playing for the long haul.

I, as well, think there is nothing cooler than starting a MMO from the beginning with everyone on an even playing field, but you don't wipe a server to do it. Having 10 servers worth of players and opening a new server is one thing, but dismantling a community that is, in terms of a 12 year old game, pretty much thriving, is something else entirely.
