Recycle/Starter Server Badly Needed - General Review of P99

[blondeattk]

imo the economy of p99 is relatively healthy. The main fear about the server is its run like a communist state. There is an internal clash of ideology about how the server should proceed. Those leaders, dont care about the time investment of the players. At a whim, sweeping changes are imposed on the playerbase without any consultaion; an act of tyranny.

apart from that its all fine and dandy!

All problematic remarks aside, i agree with the main point of the OPs post: A new server. And i would make that new server such that it automatically restarts every year.

For me, that would be perfect. I understand that for a lot of people the real game starts at 60... and that's OK as well. I think the community is big enough to support 2 independent servers. Of course that will probably never happen, sadly.

Totally support a wipe.

Level 60s gone, happy to restart. Server is fucked. Even if your examples are bad, you are right about the server being broken as fuck.

Your examples and supporting reasoning behind your statement has changed my view on the server. Thank you for your insight and wisdom.

This server clearly isn't for you if you are unhappy that your brand new toon isn't as geared as the rest of the server who has been here for years.

Pro tip for anyone starting out:
Levels > Acquiring plat

It's not hard to make money at level 60.

This is so true. Many times, you acquire items that SELL for PLAT by LEVELING! Tunnelquest is okay when you dont have the time to go crawl, but crawling is suggested!

I still want to know what rings cost 500p that should be 50p. This guy is apparently an expert on the subject of what items should cost.

Yeah I'd like to know too.He actually said rings that should cost 50pp costing 5K pp!!

As a fairly new player I would like to jump in and offer my 2 copper:

It would be fun to experience the server in the gear it was designed for. As a brand new player It took me almost no time to farm up the plat I needed to buy a set of banded mail and a silver swiftblade. However being able to buy gear that amazing with no more effort than farming wisps for an hour in WC has really removed my ability to acquire any upgrades from questing/camping/grouping for a loooong time.

Of course no one is forcing new players to buy gear in EC - but its no fun being the only non-twink in a group. (especially if you are carrying a 40% exp penalty along for the ride as well)

TL/DR: The server is amazing and fantastic but Recycle99 can't come fast enough because I want to experience everything from day1 again.

GO BACK TO WOW!

"Everybody else has better gear than me, please even the playing ground by wiping the server"

I sometimes wonder if I am playing on the same server as people who make these type of posts.
