Question regarding server split

[Thiefboy777]

Man that'd be nice if it happened...

One server for the people that shit in socks.

One server for normal people, must show proof of at least 40hrs of work per week to play on it.

Would probably never happen. I think it has been said that classic servers had upwards of 2000 people active and I think it's wishful thinking that will happen once Velious drops. Although it would be cool to see, if it did happen the numbers would probably start to drop off/go back to normal after a few months.

Also not everyone on Blue raids.

You can't compare classic velious to p99 velious. Classic velious would have 2-3 guilds that could do all the content, on p99 you have something like 10-12 that can do the content. The current progression of the server has created a logjam at the top.

Consider Taken or BDA for example, we can obviously kill VP targets, BDA has at least done so before but the current ruleset keeps VP off limits unless you want to be about that class C life. When Velious drops how long should a guild be forced to wait before content like ST or NToV are available to the not hardcore sect. Plenty of Class R guilds have downed lots of stuff in ST and NToV and Tormax and Vindi and Statue etc etc. So should that content be full on socking content exclusively from the start?

There were a lot more than 2-3 guilds that could do the content during the classic era. By the time Velious started, even casual guilds were doing the content. Sure, not Sleeper or AoW, but much of the rest.

Probably depends on server.

My memory is a little foggy but I'm pretty sure Bristlebane had at least 4:

Club Fu, Circle of Legends, Ring of Valor, Arch Overseers, and if I remember the name right Circle of Valor?

I raided ToV and some easier Luclin targets with Crimson Blade during late Luclin/early PoP. Bristlebane was stacked with raid guilds.

The competitive/rotation server split idea is bad because when you base a server on one aspect of the game (such as raiding) it has a negative impact on all other aspects of the game (economy, leveling 1-59, etc).

I like grouping with "casuals," doing Sky with new guilds (IB raided with Primal and Anonymous last night) and so on. Segregating the population would be totally against the homogenous spirit of classic EverQuest.

Also remember that on live servers were about double the size that P99 is right now. If another server is ever made, it'll be long after the release of Velious (1-2 years+) and we'd probably see the current server getting some "experimental" custom content additions while a second "time line correct" classic server would open.
