Very true, both counts. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

These servers would have been a lot more fun if it didn't take velious 5 years to come out.

Id also add that Luclin / PoP to me was the pinnacle of itemization where casters started to get meaningful upgrades with focus effects rather than just a bigger mana pool that was irrelevant anyway a lot of the time. Simultaneously stat glut didn't kick in yet where NToV gear from two prior expacs was still relevant in PoP through a couple of tiers.

Agree

The great thing about PoP would be all the tiers of raiding guilds you would have.

I know it won't, but I really really really want the server to continue the timeline. I really want to continue to experience things I never got to on live with my guild and the friends I've made here. With a few differences such as no bazaar or nexus portals, and if it goes all the way to PoP, maybe no PoK books. Keep the social aspect to the economy and travel... small things like that are what slowly began to chisel away at what EQ was meant to be.

I quit Hearthstone because of the matchmaking system. Nice to get steamrolled on your 4th/5th game by a guy with an almost full gold deck...subtle message that you need to invest in the game or just lose 75% of matches.

Still plenty to enjoy on P99, even if you have to change venues to do it.

Gold cards mean nothing in Hearthstone. Also the ladder gets reset every month so for a period of time the best players are going to be in the lower ranks right along with everyone else.

Maybe not but the point I'm making is that the other guy isn't on "day 1" of playing, they should have new players finding their feet against other new players to be a good experience... ease em in gradually.
