Close the red server and open a fresh blue server in its place.

...and look how that turned out.

Also, people voted to shut down a 3 month old blue server on live and replace it with a server where you start at level 51 with 50 AAs (Mayong).

Guess what happened to Mayong? It doesn't exist anymore.

The moral of the story: As a developer, don't listen to fickle players.

A fresh blue server wouldn't be any different to this blue server. Twinks within a few weeks, sure there's a fresh economy, but you'll have holgresh elder bead style queues for guises/manastones, day 1 fat cats looking to corner the market on items before they've dropped and nobody will be as happy about it as they think. Oh and 2 big raid guilds locking everything down of course.

For something different, why not try PvP teams? At least its different.

If you add instancing ala agnarr a lot of that goes by the wayside.

A hybrid of p99 and agnarr is probably the real answer to life.

Why play EQ if there's no pvp? NO POINT! Ewwww that's just DISGUSTING!

Damn scared of risk bluebies...

[dafier]

Close red and make a Blue that will be PoP locked. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Server is fine sometimes it reaches like 80 people and there is at least 10 pvp fights (not kills) a day. You guys are trolling!

Wipe it clean 2019

OP has some really good points and I think this is a very good idea. I especially like the part where he states character progress should be carried over.

I don't think DBG is going to allow the project to do anything new, except outfitting Freeport guards with the latest kite shields and the like

So I've seen this idea several times from various people, and wonder if there is any basis for this theory other than general tin-hattery. You realize that multiple guides and devs (including in this very thread) have stated "don't worry, it's coming" right? Why would they all be lying?
