While I do like trying to keep things as classic as possible, times have changed. What took 6 months in 1999 takes 1 month today. So what were left with is 200 people already 40+ chompin' at the bit for something to do.

In light of how the population has continued to waver in favor of content offered on blue and other new games, I think Sol Ro, quest armors and planes are needed to revitalize the server.

The server populations is deceptive, because people generally aren't quitting, they're just opting out for blue until theres something to do. Many have been 50 for a month already, and with only 3 dungeons and a few mobs to compete over, theres not nearly the incentive that EQ pvp servers had during the Planar/Kunark/Velious eras.

I propose we step up the timeline.

Some of us have lives outside of EQ and still aren't level 50 yet. How about we just go the classic route?

Some of us missed out on prenurfed mage swords, and didn't get the free ride to 50.

Big deal. Doesn't call for a wipe, speed up, or slow down of the time line.

This shit happens in MMOs and is more impactful on PvP servers.

Learn from the mistakes and move on imo.

I think alot of what op said are infact true... Without planes the server gets old fast. With two raid mobs their isnt much competition (phinny isnt a raid mob sorry). Once planes open people will have better gear and melees will get a bump in resists and even it out some more. The problem now is melee is gimped, people roll casters and go the solo route. The 2 or 3 people who roll a melee without a guild or crew behind them get bored of searching for a group for 2-3 hours and give up on melee. Then roll caster and get bored cause they didnt want to go caster route. I hate global ooc, but I think Gms should release global ooc until pop hits 300+ and release planes with it. Planes alone will bring atleast a 100 more people back from blue.

I'm sure 190 separate people voted.

I agree, go ahead enable it so we can move past this point. If it turns out to be constant RNF in game, well, away it should go.

Gms could also do it like live and allow channels for people to start ( /join trade or /join general). So people who dont want global ooc can just /leave general and not listen. I hate listening to global ooc spam, but would be nice to join, find a group and turn off.

are you getting alot of lag or fighting against caster mobs?
