Nah, there's nothing really that controversial in your proposal, I mean we instanced the entire server for a couple of months.

My proposal is this: Remove the petition functionality from Blue and cease providing any sort of customer service and support. Leave Green the way it is.

The actual problem is the GMs are too nice and don't want to ban guilds every other cycle. It seems they genuinely want the serve to come together and play nice with each other but its never going to happen.

I hate saying it because it goes against the game, but maybe consider blue instance for raid zones.

The servers have had to implement non classic responses in the past due to raid guilds creating a shitshow of endgame which lets face it...is classic. Why not look into implementing instanced playgrounds that take out the toxic disputes between guilds, decrease the bureaucratic nightmare that has to be petitioning and Fraps that volunteers spend hours combing through to find infractions.

Its a hot take, a shitty one that nobody will agree with, but at the end of the day if we're reaching a point where major guilds are receiving indefinite suspensions because they keep trying to outshit the other, we gotta try something else. Keep Green the way it is, but clearly Blue needs a change and has set precidents that bend the classicness in order of semi raid stability.

I'm pro instances as well. It's not controversial. The game stopped being classic the moment the servers stayed locked on Velious past the point of where Luclin and PoP should've been released. The entire point of an expansion for an MMO like EQ is to ferry end game players to the next goal and release content they've been keeping under their thumb so that players not in their guild can see content, if they want.

People who desire the classic EQ experience on P99 can go to green. The reset back to classic after Velious is what will keep green sustainable and fair for all that play.

Real drama will possibly start when the neck beards on green are moved back to blue after the three year server period, armed with tons of mana stones, holgresh beads, and other fun goodies. This alone, should be the reason for instances on the non the green servers as the top heavy drama on blue will be amplified when Velious on green comes to an end.

My general opinion of Luclin as an expansion is that it will be skipped content wise. I'd rather not take any of the content that it introduced. Won't be using models, no horses.

How do people think of augments? Not exactly the same way that they were introduced with loy, but custom slots and different ways to get them.

We'll probably never have instancing, I destroyed that code a while ago.

Not a single person here has come to the realization that the server's capacity has reached its max with HIGH LEVEL CHARACTORS. Why don't we figure out a solution for that, it's only going to become more and more inflated with bloated head cases who hit max level and are expecting to raid.

(This is the only real problem that exists)

release kunark early

I think what you're all encountering is the shelf life of the EQ business model - the very one that has you all repulsed at the idea of moving on. The reason why there's 115 levels right now and a seemingly endless amount of content to get caught up on.

You're all lusting after something that simply shouldn't be.

[Penish]

1000 level 60's or more on blue. That's the core problem. Nothing more, nothing less. I like the idea of instancing content, although the server would look like Agnarr after a year of candyland.

What a well thought out coherent response, thank you Gatordash.

Once Kunark launches on Green I have a feeling Blues population will dwindle into manageable raiding numbers and no one will care about it again

PEENISH LOL.
