Because this game did not come to a plateau in 99. It kept moving and changing. This game has been at the same poitn for how long now-- It's plateaued and causes this sort of slothful malaise. Whens the last time you saw a newbie wait for the boat? You want classic, how's a guy in Oasis begging for ports to west commons?

Im just saying, I love eq, but it sucks playing any game that's been stagnating for years.

Well, you're flat wrong. I joined Live in September 99 and the first night I was on, my friends were twinking me. Twinking is part of the system. Don't like it, then don't contribute to it. The only difference in P99 is that we now have 3 years of it. But this will always be the case, eventually.

Aren't yout he guy always responding to things with "isnt classic" pictures? So it's okay for you to nitpick and choose what is classic? I'm not saying it ruins my fun, and I'm certainly not giong to decline free buffs or itamz, but it certainly ruins the air of this being a challenging game.

There is a difference between classic mechanics (spammable hoops on raid bosses) and the classic experience (staff nerfed the classic hoop mechanic to bring the raiding experience more in line with how it played out on live). Someone HAS TO "pick and choose what is classic" because we don't have Jesus Christ himself here to miracle up a perfectly classic server for us.

And as far as complaintng about the challenge of the game being gone but only because you allow it to be gone? Again, that's on your shoulders.

With regards to relative experience to others...

My main desire for a new server would be the lure of being a JC salesman.

JC market is super-saturated on this old server. I can sit in EC all day Saturday and Sunday and sell maybe 8-10k worth of product, netting me maybe 4-5k. As a level 60 enc, this is a colossal waste of time since I could just go solo a camp during this time and get items worth way more.

For reference, on Fippy Darkpaw server as soon as I got Enchant:Silver I leveled up my JC and started making silver jewelry going zone-to-zone.

Steamfont->LFay->GFAY/CB->BBlock->Freeports->Commons/NEK->Kith->Rivervale->Misty->Back to Kith->HHK/HHP->Karanas->Qhills->BBurrow->Everfrost->Back to Qeynos->Toxx->GATE->RESTOCK->Do it again.

It was an insane amount of fun, for me. I made a couple plat per item, which enabled me to level JC even more, which ended up with me having to level as fast as I could to be able to enchant platinum (instead of having the spell already and leveling it up). I sat at level 34 for a long while just hawking wares.

This, subsequently, led to a massive amount of wealth, relative to others, which was pretty awesome.

I came to this server late with a saturated market. I have plenty of money here, now. I don't care so much now about having twinks - I have them. I'd just like to be able to do things fresh for a bit here. There isn't a demand for silver or electrum jewelry anymore. There's not even really a demand for most tradeskills. It would be nice to get to relive that. I won't die if I don't, but it'd still be fun.

never in a million years.

The opportunity to level another paladin to 60? Be still my heart!

I would actually probably enjoy that way more than I should, plus it would allow me to get a guise/ lustrous russet armor so I wouldn't have to be so damn jelly of Ektar all the time.

[Issues]

A new blue server, will be the same as the current blue server a year or two down the road. seems redundant.

More than 200 votes is a pretty overwhelming interest for the question considering that probably at least a half of players never or rarely visit this forum.
