Would you donate for a new blue server?

Exactly why it should be regulated to something non-game changing like :

Being able to xfer over JUST your old characters name(1 per account)
Access to beta testing the new server
A shout out from the devs/owner thanking you for your contribution



Things along those lines, I bet some people could come up with really good ideas.

Kickstarter was what I had in mind when I originally asked in the other thread if there was a number that we could raise that would convince the P99Gods to give us a non-mq blue server. I still haven't heard anyone say that "yes there is a number..", so this whole discussion is a waste of time as far as I know.

This would be great. I understand the "it isn't classic" argument. But I feel like people came to p99 for nostalgia. A server with two guilds nailing down 90% of the content, while gearing their 4 alts may be classic, but completely misses the point in my opinion. I've been here since day one. It's enough already, please.

No interest in this. Take down red and save resources after velious. Start 2 new blue servers at the same time 1 year after velious. Make 1 rule different. A server has a level/limit. B server does not.

A server 1-5 a day...if you want to farm and TS fine.
10-20 one level/8 hours
20-30 one level/16
30-40 one level/32
40-50 one week
Feel free to suggest changes to the above, but you get the idea this would have a more classic stigma. If you are leveling too fast you can create another char. I bet many would end up playing a different toon than what they started.

B power through make stuff up I will be on the other server. <wave>

I want some of the drugs this guy is doing

What exactly is the incentive for devs to keep the current server running? Is ad revenue from the forums that good? Does it shine on the resume?

Or is there some intrinsic value in providing an outlet for ex-EQ Live players who are now going through their quarter-life crises?

My current guess is masochism, but fortunately the forums don't represent most of the mentality of the server.

Just want to add my voice to the fray.

As many have already said, I pledge an honest donation to the creation of a second blue-99 server with a simple rotation schedule. This server would be a fresh, reroll. Start at classic and release Kunark a year later.

History has time and time and time and time shown again x1000 times that if you leave private interests wide open to adults, rules get abused. This is human nature (at least in western cultures). Its either A) Extreme greed pushing "class C" guild members to maintain exclusive control to some of the raid content and/or B) the monetization of getting high end items and large amounts of plat for use in RMT. With 1k at around $3 an item worth 100K can suddenly pay a utility bill for a guild leader or officer. Just 3 or 4 of those a month and you can live on that. You guys better believe me when I say there are people playing on this server exclusively to farm items and make real life money. Do you think platlord just double boxes and has some kids farming for him? No! He has partnered with people in elite guilds, who knows how many people coordinate the system. Do not underestimate how far people will go to protect their money, many who discredit this fact are the ones profiting from it.

If you just forget about all the circumstances leading up to the rules and everything and just look at the situation, does it seem right certain guilds are "allowed" to do certain content and others haven't "earned" that privilege? Its insane!

I resonate most with the guys that say we are an older demographic that are drawn to playing a good nostalgic mmo, the best mmo there ever was, Everquest. When I was 15 I was totally fine with sitting 4pm to 6am staring at my computer but now with a job and a kid I just can't swing that.

+1 for funding a reroll blue server with guild rotations.

Money corrupts! Look at the US Congress. Same o, same o. And we voted most of the same old turds right back in. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Many epics will become significantly easier once Velious comes out, Even without TMO/IB certain epics would still be very hard to obtain during the Kunark era.

Are you kidding me!, very well then I will resume donation once being epic'd. Preferably from lvl 50. May as well give monk's and rogue's free epic at lvl 1, since it is so easy with no fancy stuff [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
