Expansions or Reboot?

^this. Why can't there be one (and only one) EQ server in the world that only goes through Velious, without people lobbying for it to open up the later expansions.

Let's say that happens (which it won't), and then someone else creates a classic-to-Velious only server. Will you join THAT server next, and start asking for IT to go beyond Velious also?

Sorry if this is flamey - I don't really intend it to be like that. I just don't understand why this keeps coming up. They aren't going past Velious already. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah because all the folks who raid are gona be content to keep raiding the same content over and over and over?

I know if i happen to raid i wont like it.

Let's face it no server can exist without some sort of advancement. At one point folks will get tired of it if there is no new content.

If you think that's not true, just try to restrict yourself to a certain level and a certain zone. Eventually you will want to see and do more. That's just human nature and that's how we are. It is what makes us human, without that desire to do more, to be something greater we would never have explored other countries, never tried to sail around the world or go to the moon or beyond.

It's as true in life as it is true in a MMO.

Being stuck in Velious might be fun for a while but eventually folks will be tired and want more.

I understand that - I really do. I know people who feel this way and are on Live, and they just don't understand why I am playing here. That's totally cool.

I just don't understand why you would be here if you feel that way. I'm sorry, but as the devs have stated over and over, this server is stopping at Velious. I'm not sure if it's denial or just daydreaming or what.

Again I really am just curious. Why would you play here if you KNOW that are going to get bored? All other servers go past Velious, so you have lots and lots of better options that have lots and lots and lots of expansions.

I am here plain and simple because this server has the most population.

Because it is the server i believe that is closer to the start and therefore i can grow with the server and even tho i started much later than anyone else, i can still catch up.

I am here because even tho the devs have said they will stop at Velious i dont believe they will actually do it. It isnt a matter of me not trusting them but rather the fact that (i believe) they will do what the player base will more than likely want. I dont believe folks will want it to stay at Velious.

Having said that, i am enjoying myself and if i become bored because they *happen* to keep their word and stay at Velious then eventually i will quit plain and simple. Not because i would personally support a Luclin expansion that i am not allowed to be here! heck i donated 50$ to support them mere days after i joined and i am still only level 15. So it has to count for something? I'll enjoy the game as long as i can and if it becomes boring i'll quit. I am aware of the parameters set for the servers and tho they arent what i would do, i accept them. If they change, i'll advise and deal with it then.

Until then, is it ok with anyone if i play here? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Why Debate, the world is going to end in 2010, enjoy Kunark, and maybe Velious!

Bah! I thought the end was due in 2012? I was planning a big party for that December to celebrate the Armageddon.

I have noticed on this server that a lot of the people seem hell bent on getting highest level as fast as possible and playing endgame, that is 10% of this game, if you honestly cannot see that the journey was the game, then you won't be here much longer. If this server caters to you people bitching for more content, it will be the death of the server.

When Velious is released the main focus should be balancing and GM events to keep people interested, that is it..

Crazy how many of you have no fucking clue what classic is.

Don't wana hate Shawk but you come off as the lvl 12 Ranger who can't find a group and is angry at all the other people soloing and leveling faster then you. People wana get high level so they can have the freedom to do whatever they want, that is the power that comes with it. Just because you love playing for an hour or so a day doesn't mean the rest of us do.

I'm level 27, I play a good 5-6 hours a day, I have no real desire to get to level 50, I love low level, My play time is probably higher then yours.

Now seeing how were assuming, let me assume something of you, you're a level 50 who is stuck in endgame content bored out of your skull because you rushed threw every level only because some part of you thinks that level 50 will fix all the problems in your pathetic existence? Just a hunch.

With the amount of time between expansions people are going to get bored. If you started playing in October when the server launched you could be a totally casual player and have 2 lvl 50s by now. I see it happening already and we are still many months away from Kunark.

You wanna know what will happen at Velious? Your eventually gonna get bored of eather doing nothing, or raiding the same content over and over. Then most will quit. And if you think "rebooting" the server is going to do any good you got another thing coming. The vocal minority might say they will be cool with starting all over but the majority will not be cool with it.

The reason I created this thread was to figure out if there was a plan. I dont care what the plan is but it would be nice to have an idea before we devote time into our characters. I dont want to be playing a couple years from now only to have an announcement made that they are rebooting the server and everyones characters are getting deleted.
