Being an Eve player for over a decade, an old player from that gaming universe coined a phrase that described the various changes that were being brought forth towards new players but alas became a "law" throughout various gaming world -

Malcanis Law: "Whenever a mechanics change is proposed on behalf of 'new players', that change is always to the overwhelming advantage of richer, older players."

In many ways, I can see how the casual split onto a new server should help newer players, but in the end, those older hard core types will have the overall advantages, especially if the second server lasts for a while. As I write this post, there was already a cleric that made level 30 to level 40 within three days while gaining firsts for many of the "rare" items. Nothing against this player (or players), but do people think a second server will allow another the same benefits? Or will a second server just drive those with a purpose to gain twice as much in the same amount of time?

Just my thoughts from a Blue "toxic" player.

That's always going to be the case because the most valuable resource in everquest is now and has always been time. Those players put in more so they are going to get more, sooner.

The stated goals of the split have nothing to do with evening the playing field in terms of camps or drops or mobs anyway. Its just the first point of reference most players consider when they hear about it.

As long as you can't play on both at once, I think its a fine idea.

If you can, I think Green just died.

This is absolutely wonderful news. Yesterday, I swore I wasn't returning to Green because I found the game to be unplayable. It's way overcrowded for the very limited amount of camps in zones. Plus, it's clear the player base is getting increasingly frustrated by examples of short tempers, bad behaviors (including purposeful trains) and chat becoming less and less tolerable. I was done!

Then, a reply today to a post I made on YouTube alerted me to the Teal Server plans. When I read your post I was so relieved for two main reasons: #1 - It will help with the overcrowding and #2, you ARE indeed listening and actively working to improve the player experience. This is HUGE. You don't see this kind of attention even on paid games and servers.

Thanks so much for your work and constant attention to this franchise. This is very much appreciated from your fan base [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].
