How many expansions is this server going?

[Malrubius]

Are you guys SURE they will stop at Velious?

I mean, when they SAY over and over that they will stop at Velious, maybe they really MEAN that they will stop at Fairies of Frankenstein (the little known 113th expansion).

This should be on the Getting Started page when all the newcommers can see it in big font and bolded: THIS SERVER WILL STOP AT VELIOUS EXPANSION.

Yeah the front info page is a little vague. Oh well. Velious only. I'm happy.

i think the best thing to take away from this is nothing is set and stone. they may go on they may not..

Seems to me the bigger discussion isn't if they will go past velious, but what to do when that content is beaten. General consensus seems, if the population is still very active, to just start a second - fresh - server.

I'm happy to be here and am looking forward to the content through Velious.

That said, I'd be tickled pink if they decided to go ahead and progress beyond Velious if the population is strong.

However, to prevent some of the issues later expansions introduced, I'd suggest that this server's version of Velious would have no Bazaar functionality, and no Nexus Spire ports (wiz/dru could still port groups to the nexus or other Luclin zones once the spells were acquired, but no 'anyone can sit at a spire and port to the nexus' shortcuts).

Then for PoP, disable all PoK books. Again, wiz/dru could still port to PoK and from there folks can go to PoTranq and raid zones etc, but no books allowing instant travel from newbie zone to newbie zone.

With those minor tweaks, (No bazaar, no instant travel) I think Luclin and PoP would fit the feel of this server and provide another couple of years of solid 'classic' progression for the players.

Anyway, just my thoughts on what to do post-Velious. It's a couple of years off anyway, and I'm going to enjoy the ride while it lasts, as far as it lasts [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What's wrong with hoofing it?

[Malrubius]

There are lots of servers out there (in fact, ALL other servers as far as I know), that go beyond Velious. They all have PoK stones.

WHY would someone who wants to go beyond Velious and have insta-travel even be here, on the one server that will not do that?? No offense, but it just doesn't make any sense.

Most of the people are here BECAUSE we don't want to go beyond Velious. We don't want insta-travel. This is a very popular idea, so it is a very popular server.

Why would a small handful of people come here and start lobbying for something that the Devs have stated WILL NOT HAPPEN??

Agreed. IMO going past Velious defeats the ENTIRE point of this server and goes against what the majority of the players play on this server for. If you want post Velious EQ, there are other servers that offer this.

so lets say you play for the 2 years (around the time velious comes out/will be finished) you have a pimp char....

you just wanna delete that char and start again ?? you dont wanna keep using your sick char doing harder and cooler raids??

nice delete.
