This thread is fail.
The idea of a server wipe is fail.
The Idea of a new server is also fail.

Me using fail five times in the same post is also fail.

... this boggles me... you count the use of fail without using it until the end where you use it the fifth time. Prempting the use of fail is most certainly fail!

It's the fact that he voluntarily chose to fail when he could have avoided failing that was indeed the real fail.

(rubi bp, manastone, de mask all at once).

Giving Ogres/trolls an opportunity to attain them would be nice. If only for a week.

I actually agree with this post; removing the masks/manastones/rubi was particularly a mistake that I feel will hinder a persons ability to fully enjoy this experience. Coming back to EQ after a prolonged hiatus for many is out of pure nostalgia; I feel that these items serve just that purpose and should continue to drop for everyone to enjoy (for old and new members alike!).

A server reset would most likely create a giant poopsocking guild "worse" than IB. You bet your bottom dollar my duffle bag would be full...of...shit. My cup of tears would be overflowing.

I am indifferent as far as my personal time is concerned. I can get to 50 on a fresh server in a matter of a few weeks and my current 50 isn't geared. So it would only be a minor annoyance for me to start over after only a month and some change invested in my current chars. I started too late to pick up rubi and a manastone, and not having a manastone makes being a res bitch a whore. Sure having one would make me a bit less likely to tell people to go fuck themselves when they ask for a res... But I'll live.

That said I have the feeling that a good number of people (mostly those who are not yet 50 imo) will quit if they suddenly have to again spend the three months it took them to level to 40. Most people value their time, and play MMORPGs for a persistant experience, not a constantly levelled playing ground. *shrug*

A new server post kunark or velious might be fun I guess. Though I mostly think it would just drain away a nice chunk of the current p99 crowd, then you'd have 2 underpopulated servers, people getting bored faster, and quitting faster. At least that is what I see happening.

It's the removal that makes it special. I quested straight for the DE mask as soon as I began playing. I was afraid it'd be taken out (even though it took like another 4 months =p). Then I got it I was like lookit I'm badass. Got a manastone lookit I'm badass.

Then EVERYONE had a DE mask and manastone. How special was I? not very. LOOKIE I'M A DARK ELF so was everyone else. Didn't make me destroy the mask or anything, but...
And now that more of you fuckers are getting amulets of necropotence? it is becoming less special; and it is in the specialness that makes the items worth while.



Furthermore, once again, this server is project 1999; not project nostalgia. It serves its own purpose to serve us - it does not serve us directly.

Ive got a 49 mage and I have a DE mask. Im pretty neutral about a server wipe personally. I wouldn't really care whether we decided to do a server wipe or not, in fact I may be a tad in favor of doing one. I doubt it would happen though, everyone that is geared out would be way to upset probably. Either way it goes, I will be content.
