If a new p99 server opened with forced raid target rotations would you switch?

I think you are missing the point of this thread. The poll does not ask if you would start on a new server it asks if you would start on a new server with forced raid target rotations.

I dont care if TMO, or TMO2.0 would join that server. Every capable guild would have an even shot at taking down mobs. No cockblocking content. No raid target disputes for guides/GMs to have to deal with. Community decides on a rotation schedule. GMs give it their blessing and the server runs with it.

I would rather play on a server with half our population and be able to kill kunark dragons, VP, VS once a month or even once every other month then continue playing on P99 and being excluded from that content because I am not willing to put in the time required to "compete".

250 people is more than enough for me to have fun on a server locked at Kunark or Velious. Who knows, we may even gain people if they can be casual and have a shot at these targets.

with the picture you have painted of TMO we would join as well, and make 10 guilds of 10 people in each and take up 10 slots in your rotation. Enjoy

again showing the TMO attitude toward the community.


you would do everything you can to cock block others. you are a blight on classic everquest using non-classic raiding techniques and non classic variance to maintain your position.


If all you wanted was to play the game you would be happy with the current server you dominate and not try to harass / undermine a new server dedicated for "carebares" should one ever occur.

Should a situation arise where some asshats decide something like this I am sure the community/Guides/GM could easily track this down and deal with it.

I have not painted any picture of TMO. I am stated what has been demonstrated. I have no problems with TMO or what they do. They are within their rights to do so on this server. I was just curious what other peoples thoughts were.

The point of these poll threads is usually... "Hey guys, I've got this great idea to improve my P99 experience".

Opening a new server with "raid condition X" is still splitting a quiet server population to two quieter server populations. You might be happy climbing the ladder to raid, but many of us who play socially and struggle to find a group (group dependant classes such as rogues etc) will have the carpet pulled out from under us. I've made a bunch of characters and only made it as high as 43 in two years - if all the new starters are on Server 2, my characters are going to struggle even further to group. But hey, who cares right...? Gief new server!

The point I'm making is there's relevant consequences behind any change like this that you're overlooking.

The population would increase overall if another server was made although I would prefer some solution to the raid scene be worked out on this one server.

It doesn't seem possible with TMO's attitude toward the community so it may be better to leave the bad apples to their own "competitive" server.


The entire argument of can't do this or that because it isn't classic doesn't even make sense to me at the moment either because the current raid scene isn't classic with variance.

I would be willing to deal with any of these consquences you have mentioned. I think 200 to 300 people is more than enough to have fun on a server. We don't need 1000 people all fighting over a limited number of spawns to have "fun".

Some people like to "compete" and others just like to kill dragons with their group of friends.

No one would be making you do anything. If you are happy on P99 the way it is than I am happy for you. I am glad you are enjoying yourself. I am also having fun but my experience, and I believe the experience of many others could be greatly increased and that was the reason for my poll.

It would also resolve the biggest problem the GMs/Guides have. How many have we lost due to the BS that goes on between guilds?

Just my thoughts.

why wouldn't guilds split and make smaller guilds to gear faster with force rotation. That is exactly what would happen.

Why sit in a guild and wait behind 50 people when you can split into another guild with 15 others and not have to wait behind those people.

Take the amount of guilds capable on p99 and then triple it. That would be a general idea of how many guilds would end up being on a rotation.

Dumbest idea ever.

All of these threads come down to the same thing: TMO and their 200 members ruining project1999 for the rest of us. Put it this way, if TMO wasnt on the server a rotation wouldn't be needed. Nor would there be a need for more GM intervention, all of the servers drama stems from TMO's attitude/tactics. You guys can call it what you want or try and spin the argument any way you want but the fact of the matter is Project1999 would be better without you all.
