I know A LOT of people that would come back to classic eq if a server wipe would occur. For those people that say they would quit, I can guarantee they would at least try the new wipe or eventually come back.
EQ its all about competition and gear. Once there's no competition or gear to obtain- what do you have left?
It has been proven, hence why everytime there's a new EQ classic emulator server, it always gets packed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].
This will promote the server life line for another 3-4 years.

There will be a new server. I'm quite sure Nilbog looks at our current server as the extended beta. But the correct time to release said new server is the day Velious launches.

Why?

The assumption I would make is the new server would follow the proper timeline, whatever that is. IE 1 yr original followed by 1 year kunark then 1 year velious.

In order to get to the fabled velious expansion we would be looking at this time 2015. (with the time line i just 100% made up =P)

So instead of waiting for velious then starting it, you start it now.

August 2nd, 2013.... EQNext, will show its face to the world.

I just started on this server a few days ago... but while reading through the forums and seeing the state of the economy while logged on... it really does seem a new server would help everyone.

I hear the end game content is camped to all hell... if a new server opened maybe some of those people/guilds would move to the new server and alleviate some of the end-game congestion they have on p99.

Also, it is a little disheartening to be running around as a true newb with a short sword, happy as hell to be playing the original everquest, and have someone run by with 2k worth of gear on the same level as me.

Having a fresh crack at a new server would certainly draw in a fresh crowd, as the 5-6 people I've tried to get to come back to EQ looked it up, saw the state of the end-game and economy and basically turned away from it immediately.

Since I'm new to these forums... how likely would a fresh server be? (Not a wipe since it looks like that would never happen based off how many people have max lvl chars and years of time invested)

I just wouldn't even waste time playing on this server if a new server was a possibility.

Only 2k worth of gear? They not far from being true noob either.

Most of the bugs are worked out. As for cheating/duping.. it happens all the time everywhere in every game. People will invest more time trying to hack P99 than the Programmers for P99 can invest to constantly prevent it.

The problem is from the accumulation of cheating, duping, and account selling over the life of this server. It's called Damage Over Time.

Why not make a new server if the population can support both? Honestly I think it can.

I would love a fresh start option. If not a wipe then for sure a new server with no expacs

I sincerely love P1999. Let us all invest in a new server...

Please remember that the people that have brought this server to us has most-likely invested their own money. Will they wipe this server clean... NO! This is not going to happen. Our devs need financial help to make this work. This isn't a FTP server with $10 armor appearance upgrades... This has always boggled me...

I honestly believe that if we began a donation pool for a new server that our development lords would oblige. Would you like a new server? Donate a dollar, or two, or ten... We'd have a fresh server with less errors as before.

Let's please respect the Devs of P99. I see far too much bashing than positive comments. They work hard to give us all pixel pleasure.

Start a collection to spin up a new blue server... I'd probably toss $100 in right off the bat. :P
