Personally if Exp and drop rates are classic & there isn't a lot of cheating. I would prefer it stay classic for a year, move to kunark. For a year. Then merge to red or blue for velious. Rinse, repeat.

I would enjoy item loot but no one new will appreciate it. So I don't think it's possible.

I disagree about no one new appreciating item loot.

Scary stuff is fun. Losing items is scary.

HOWEVER at this point I wouldn't mind seeing teams tried so it can be behind us, or maybe work out and everyone loves it.

With 2 custom teams and sullon zek rules, we would have to hope that people that farm lowbies on opposing team just get corpse camped by enemy team once they are caught. Its a good way to have tit for tat PVP where high levels get to interact in non raid scenarios.

Worst case is that the people with high levels only log for raids and don't give a shit what goes on during non raid hours. Some people will be like that.

I really think a classic timeline NON legacy server would be the most fun. I think there is a special type of toxic in the rush to get manastones that we've seen on green/teal

Live servers like live Discord did not have legacy items and they were still fun. It would also emphasize that fact that this server is not about establishing a pixel hoard in the same way as other servers.

I wouldn't even be opposed to leaving manastone and other legacy items in game permanently but with an insane rare random drop rate from basically any monster or something wild like that. Or that they are obtainable from an in-game casino which also helps with plat inflation.

I think that this next server could be a test bed for some of those concepts as long as they are active at making the pvp situation make sense.

Even if you get the right mechanics and rule set, the community is so invested with their egos that people will stack it and just play safe making it stale.

Let the dream die.

Shit cuts too deep for me Stasis.

It will get stale, thats why they should have a fixed lifespan. Play to win not by biggest RMT pile but by ?? most fun? whatever.

200 pop would be a smashing success for red. 200 pop playing for good times would be probably ok.

Your characters can dump to blue or OG red.

Got a lvl 9 sitting on red right now, taken me 5 hrs to lvl cuz I am afk, but I aint got no ego, I don't care about loot. I just want to be able to log into EQ every once in awhile.

Would be great to group but I don't have the time to invest to make a lvling partner/date. I just think people are growing up and we can only invest so many lvl 60s into our butts before they get to sore to sit on anymore (btw ALWAYS working on getting up between med cycles so I don't die of decrepitude). It is possible to play R99 responsibly, but ya, we got to give up dreams of living in a pixel palace.

Sacrifices must be made. I'll trade my fungis on a 40 pop box for banded and several hundred anyday.

New server has to be seasonal, with a ladder for PvP and PvE.

One seaon as teams.
One season as FFA.
Etc. Etc.

Each season lasts 6 months. 1 for classic 2 for Kunark 3 for velious.

Rinse and repeat with carry over titles.

Make it easier leveling so even a casual can make it to 50 by end of 1 month of classic.

Don't make a server that nerds can fester on and make 15 alts in full NTOV..i.e current red99.

Is it really that hard for a group of players to take down an NTOV geared? Like can 1 NTOV wipe an entire group of Kunark? (minus the training and elite pvp tactics)

In classic 1 wiz could pop an entire grp if played well (waiting for the group to start wiping)

If ur in a zone to do some stuff and u see someone u don't like pvp them, then do ur stuff
