Perfectly normal conversation about red. Insert- Bazia ladies and gentlemen.

What sort of sicko does not want a r99 wipe?

You know how eq still kept players playing after velious? They kept introducing new expansions.

R99 doesnt go past velious, we know that. So the pop will never creep back up to the glory days. It HAS to wipe. They wont do custom content, ya moran.

Actually people didn't keep playing EQ back in the day despite constant expansions. The devs destroyed the game world with all that poor content and lazy add-ons, and people moved to other games not long after.

Neither custom content (which is different than PvP balancing for the server) nor expansions are needed for this server, if you're paying attention. The #1 most important thing needed for this server right now is a non-toxic community. Then, maybe the p99 devs will give it more attention again.

So youre saying ?300 players would happily play velious for the foreseeable future, with no end in sight?

Got it

So sad, cause the idea of a great pvp server is totally possible! I'd think that if you just tweaked settings to not make it easy mode for gear and soloing. Increase penalties, and have some sort of direction in terms of these guild safe zones, or level restricted zones.. the more i actually get interested in red, the more it appeals to me.. If you just did a few of those simple changes, and THEN reset it. It would surely appeal to people.. Making the game tougher on casuals like it is on blue, keeps a lot of folks around playing wanting to scratch that itch they will never scratch.. I'll never step in ToV, im too casual. But the idea of needing and wanting to accomplish seeing those zones, keeps me playin.. I don't know how more high end blue players don't make toons on red.. If you had the time to really grind EQ, the idea of battling guilds physically over high end raid targets seems so much more fun.. Anyways, love ya'll over on red, I still plan to make a toon sorry about the state of your server.! Ill let you know the name so you can all find me and destroy me and post pictures about bigj's many deaths.

More people than that play Starcraft 1 and Smash Brothers competitively, games which have been essentially unchanged since 1999. Great games don't require more content for people to play them, they are played because they continue to be fun and intellectually stimulating, and continue to change dynamically based upon what the opponent does at any given time.

PvP (and PvE) Everquest needs many modifications to reach that point where it would be sustaining. The concept of needing to continually "level up" and get new gear is an empty premise when left unchecked, it's something that becomes nothing more than busywork, while simultaneously unbalancing the playerbase and the game world. It's a toxic symptom of capitalism, where people think they need more more more "stuff" in order to have value in their life, when actually none of that means anything.
