To clarify:

Many of the people interested in the progression servers are interested in being on the leading edge. Hence the killing of nagafen vox and inny 2 after the servers opening.

They're not interested in playing on a server that been in the same expansion for nearly 5 years
And what happens to those people who cant keep up with the actual neckbeards and arent on the leading edge? They quit and we are back at the same point as before.

well... considering that you only need 1 virtual drive... that should be fine.

That makes sense. However, I remember I was unable to eject the prior ISO - hence why I used a different solution. In all honesty, I had just got my first Win laptop in years, configured and updated it, and by the time I had downloaded the ISOs it was damn late - never a good time to do something technical.

I suspect incompetence on my part. Nevertheless, got there in the end.

I'll be playing there for the chance at PoP. There was only so long I could do Kunark. I loved no boxing and the tight ruleset around using MQ and such, but its about like playing mario brothers over and over for a couple years. Making alts and new accounts and such doesnt really do anything for me, I want to play my 1 char and PoP was amazing at letting you do that.

I would suggest subbing for a month when kunark drops to ride the wave to 60 then unsubscribe and come back for pop. Not that you couldn't do it all then but pops will be highest the closer to server up or right around kunark release, since you won't be boxing. Longer you wait the iffier it will be. Pops tend to drop off fast on these servers.

I wouldn't be all that concerned. Most of the type of people who ragequit ragefire are the whiney "show up and get handed everything" types. Long on nostalgia, short on patience and understanding of what "classic" truly is. They remember fondly their first group on orc hill or crushbone 15 years ago but they conveniently forget quitting when a hell level or pop flagging was too much for them and leaving for wow. Full of nostalgia but happily welcoming of no hell levels, no corpse runs, instancing, etc. Seriously, there have been people preaching Armageddon since dragons died 50 hours after server up....sitting at level 5 in an instanced newbie zone.

They are everywhere over there. Posts like "im not dealing with this queue and I'm going to p99" abound over the weekend because they couldn't play the very moment they wanted. They won't last a week over here when they realize nobody, most particularly the staff and devs, give a shit about their whiney demands.

On p99 being a classic restoration project is priority above all and that's exactly what will weed most of them out.

ah yes, that explains the welfare pixels, non-classic ui, level 1 epics, and agents from the matrix giving preferential treatment to certain players.

Doesn't really matter once you get to GoD (and even PoP), where instanced content allows more people to enjoy the end game without resorting to going on unemployment.

No queue for me at all today. Subscribed for the first time in eight years. Loved it.
