Then in classic you'd be really fucked because you'd only log on for Naggy and Vox.

Shit player with shit logic.

eq is all about replayability. lower exp-rate and start the server..everything else can be taken care of later on.

you can keep 1 server up forever resulting casuals quitting sooner or later and neckbeards starting dozens of alts griefing new casual arrivals.

or you can restart a server every now and then and profit in all directions. we dont need velious, we need a playerbase. anyone at this point who wants velious is a complete bluebie with this handfull players on the server we have right now.

How many times do you think someone that logs in once a week is going to keep coming back to a box just to start over? Neckbeards are going to farm shit and make twinks no matter what. Casuals ate going to stop coming back and you'll end up with the same 30 people in an endless circle jerk.

iam not going to deny it but still, what do you prefer?

opening another dozens of zones (velious) with the handfull of players currently playing or having double or tripple the playerbase in half the zones we have right now with kunark in a classic environment?

added to that the lvl gap with maxlvl 50 in classic would be lower resulting in more pvp than we have now.

as i stated in the OP, lets just do this experiment...what are you afraid of? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I actually agree with you because if I had the choice to play on a fresh red99 server I would, but I don't think it will happen. Kergan had a good suggestion when this was brought up prior. Open a new red99 server and have it merge into the current server once a year to avoid having any kind of wipe. Then start up a new one.

They have a server free, but it is for Velious beta. It is a stretch either way but not even a discussion until Velious beta is over with.

the griefing aspect will also be lower with classic since classic twinkgear is nothing compared to kunark or velious gear as we all know. so, another problem resolved with classic.

we all want to pvp and i highly doubt that all of you are enjoying this server by doing those real fights just once a week contesting bossmobs and leveling alts the other 6 days. i did not, and thats why i quit some months ago.

I'd rather try a team server with team balancing incentives instead of playing on a server where the only 2 raid mobs are locked down within a week.

sure, why not. anything other than we have right now would be better, not just for me but for all pvp-lovers out there.

The server isn't bad right now. You can find PvP if you want to any day, but it wont' be mass PvP. There are people in Chardok/HS/KC/Seb/CoM and even the hole almost every night.

Fresh restarts are still more fun to me though. The more content that gets released the more tedious tasks you have to do and the more a small population sucks the fun out of a PvP server. Some people enjoy that part of the game though and the creators of this server have that same mentality.

Eqpvp does have the environment you are speaking of, but it just doesn't have the numbers. It is a shame.

spoken like a real EQ pvper

everyone who wants to slay dragons and get pixels on a pvp server is a frakking bluebie, velious 4 bluebies, moar pixels and drgns 2 go around

way less strategy and fun

But mitic, the real pvpers left long ago, the old diehard brainwashed EQ lifers remain. Some of them were good at pvp once, but most don't want a challenge, they want a social tea time over ex nihilum members in velious
