Anyone notice RoZ population just dips hard when they stray away from classic 1-50 EQ and start getting wierd?

Should be a big indicater where the pvp is at for EQ. Once the grind to 60 and BiS becomes a year long solo boredom or multiboxxing fest, most casual players, people who like pvp, and aren't pixel addicted will dive off to like WoW BGs or other dota style games.

The best hope for a real classic server is 1-60. Kunark only. Item loot RZ. Classic as can be, broken. And just completely wild wild west as for GMs disputing between guilds and griefers, pks vs non-pks.

The biggest failing of red99 was that the GMs butted into the community when things started heating up because they saw all the forumposts and drama and got scared, but that was exactly when the pvpers-vs-bluebies were starting to really organize and the server was hitting its maturity, but it never happend.

We need a 2cnd chance. But I don't think a non-pvper would understand this because they are like' but you have velious and there's no trains and it's fair and competative'. It's not about that for pvpers. Nor pixels. We aren't that interested in dragon loot, we are more interested in killing the other guy trying to get the dragon loot.

Rallos Zek item loot - launch at absolute Classic, patching through. Kunark in a year. Velious a year after that. Relaunch box. Ad infinitum.

Yeah its pretty straight forward. You will have a essential winners in each era as people max out and tire out, but then it restarts. We would already be on velious 2.0 or kunark 3.0 by now if we were cycling. I'm fine with old red being the recycle dumpster if you really want to keep peoples characters alive forever.

Totally agree. Some people would have time to power through all three years each cycle. But most of us would duck in and out.

The only real problem is Velious -- it's too hard to "catch up" if you're starting late or behind. But there aren't any good solutions that I've seen.

Just race to wake the sleeper. Once sleeper is awakened, server merges into the old red server and a new one starts. Use the original red server as a character graveyard. 1 year each expansion.

velious problem is solved by only being 1 year before dumping into the archival server.

Yeah i'm starting to dig this, would encourage people to load up their benched velious characters and fight at the games prime aswell. And let the archival box build some momentum, while newbies jumped in during season 1 and 2 of the other box.

I'm really digging it.

We all know it could go on like 10 seasons easily before the world ends [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Or this is crazy: Have 3 databases and let us /charactermove to kunark and from kunark to velious if we want. Let people pick what erra the game ends.
