Would you donate for a new blue server?

Read the OP silly halfling (/movelog)

With /movelog, no qualms. But a lot of these people are suggesting no /movelog!

Would gladly donate for a rotation based server. Hell movelog or not. I'd leave my 5 guised toons behind for actual classic raiding from my perspective.

[Buriedpast]

This should not be about the raiding scene though. I get fulfillment and joy from the current raid scene.

This should be about server integrity at all levels of the game, which p99 lacks at all levels of the server currently. P99 is eternally hamstrung by it's past for various reasons and with terrible results. The raid scene is a symptom of the servers past. The raid scene is irrelevent and not something that can be fixed ever without 100% forced rotation without tiers. Give Omni a rotation in VP. Doesn't matter if they don't kill it, they just skip their turn until they are ready. Fixed instantly.

Instead, a new server lets us come to that conclusion ourselves, whilst wholistically ensuring the servers pulse beats the right message, of proper Everquest memories and nostalgia. Id have more fun camping in lguk on a new server than anything p99 can currently offer.

This should be about the people and the integrity. The kind of people that leave p99 to start fresh are the kind project2000 needs. The people who wouldn't give up p99, are the people that wouldn't be welcome on p2k anyway.

This is an idea that I discussed on Sirken's stream and before that it was an idea that many of the casual raiding guilds discussed. Here's the premise:

A new blue server would be created. Players would be allowed to /movelog to this new server. On this new server the raid scene would be an enforced rotation modeled after the current class R rotation system. Raid disputes would be adjudicated by a council of raiding guild officers but would ultimately be enforced by staff at its highest levels.

If players want to subscribe to the hardcore mindset then they can stay on the current blue server. If players want to experience a more civilized raid environment then they can movelog to the new server.

For an idea like this to happen it would first have to be approved by Rogean/Bog and then funded by the interested players.

So, bottom line, would you donate to play on this type of server?

I would help fund this server, but there would have to be a few conditions:

1. People are only allowed to /movelog 1 toon. Fuck all this alt crap.

2. All normal spawns would be a GM enforced rotation; repops would be FFA. IMO no bag limit either.

3. GM enforced PNP regarding not being an assclown at cash camps, e.g. Clark camping Tranix for months.

Agree on one point tho?

Wasn't there almost 2k when epics came out?

Now Velious... ? Heh...

Like I'm absolutely agreeing blue is over populated due to the extended time line etc. Velious is going to be insane.

If that server was raid mob rotation with no variance... AKA you MUST sign up for the raid calendar, no FFA anything... and if the guild designated wasn't there within an hour or two to kill the mob on their day that it was open to the next guild... it could be the right thing to do.

I'd support a fresh server with no character copies for a day 1 Velious. I don't want move moves and economy taint. If you want a brand new server, get a freakin' brand new server. This gives EVERYONE a fair chance. Not just 2 guilds that copy over and rotate mobs or whatever. Lots of people want a fresh start, I just see a char copy as "please cater to my needs and not the good of all players".

Fresh servers are actually fun, everyone isn't twinked out of their minds.

I'm for this server, either way, but I'd prefer no /movelog

way too much pp farming, exploits, and gear hording has gone on here, and i'd hate for all that to get moved over.

that being said, I'd LOVE to get on to a server that actually meets the stated goals of the server...to allow us to experience all of classic everyquest

Best part would hopefully be no variance as well.

Please explain the pay2win? Its pay2rotation, and yes the PVE game is easy by today's standards, but P1999 still has the best implementation of classic mechanics to date. I'd still have to gather X-number of friends together to kill my target, and Chest is not advocating instances. I just, hopefully, would have a raid scene more accommodating like current class-R, without giving up 2/3 to neckbeards every month. I have my little playground, and they have theirs. I still have to camp my VP key, get the kills for my epic, and level my character (depending on /movelog), but I could do it without petitionquest, coth ducking, and Alarti.

So you are looking for a modern MMO...Which isn't EQ. And yes paying to have that is paying2win at your own rate.
