A lot of people here chiming in who didn't even play classic. The majority of people who play MMO's do so to progress their character. Maxing out your character in classic EQ takes only a couple of weeks if you play hardcore, maybe 2 months max if you play more casually [which people playing a EQ EMU usually don't]. Once people hit that ceiling, the vast majority will stop logging in until there's something new to do, which means the pop will drop like it did last time to the low double digits. A wipe makes it "exciting" for 1 week, maybe 2 weeks tops, until it already becomes very top heavy.

Also everyone will be a bard/druid/shaman/wizard.

A couple things

• Guild Wars 2 is an entire MMO built around players never getting gear that's any better than what they can get immediately upon hitting level 80. There's no mechanical progression, but a lot of people still play. That's just one example of a game which people don't quit just because they can't get new shit every week. So your first point is wrong. Notably, GW2 is a PvP heavy MMO.
• This is a PvP Server. If people just want a PvE experience, they should play Blue. Red is all about controlling desirable targets and camps, which is why there used to be so much RMT.
• It's quite easy for our GMs to hold events for items like the famed Ugly Stick, which would add the potential for "character growth."
• You have to play a fucking lot to max out a classic character in two weeks. You also have to be one of the handful of players who got the raid loot you wanted that week, assuming enough other players were as crazy as you and also got leveled and raid ready in a week.
• You're a dirty blue convert who wants free pixels and wouldn't even be on Red otherwise.

Your posts never get any better, HB. Maybe it's time to back away from the cheeto-encrusted keyboard and seek professional help for your low T.

Smedy has the right idea. Merge Red into Blue and restart Red with classic. Red in its current state is basically a PvE server anyway.

Yeah man lets resort to personal attacks in server chat over shit fucking server. Immersion level overload.

[Lasher]

people not on top want wipe and people on top dont want wipe.

I miss something?

[Qtip]

Merge red with blue and release a teams +/-10 lvl pvp range. Just stay on classic timeline for expansion release and move exp back to classic.

The people on the bottom are only on the bottom for reasons entirely out of their controll, so a server wipe would finally allow them the opportunity to be on top. Which they will squander in under a month because they are pathetic fucking losers that have been playing the same game for 16 years and still suck at it. Then they will ask for another wipe.

kinda reminds of the the past when said top guild use to spam forums with wipe it clean.


only toke 3 and half years to reach the top.
