Reset classic server

[Mobb Deep]

i took a hiatus from blue because i got bored. i dont even want to bother hitting 60. i willingly stopped at 57 waiting for epics to be released about 3 months ago...that was a bummer.

a server wipe wouldn't revitalize the server at all. the only real option is if devs released new content. i mean, epics were due, velious should be due soon, the hole was like 6 months late, but then again, they're doing this server out of the goodness of their heart so its whatever.

i did find excitement playing on red though...i never played pvp before but it is fun and the journey to 50 will take much longer and i don't mind that.

i will return to blue if epics are ever released though...

Its funny all the retards here think wiping it clean will do anything. The problem is less saturation of players on blue because of red. Its that simple. Also SWTOR is releasing, so all other nerds like myself will be playing it.

This thread screams ignorance, factless/biased responses, and no credibility.

The great thing is when they do release the new content, you and everyone else can always come back and have it here.


And go ape shit fighting over it in the true glory of EQ.

I'm a casual player. I put in some major hours over the past few months just to get to the super low level that I'm at with my two characters (12 and 14). I'm not twinked, I have no money, and it's pretty difficult to find a stable group. Having a server wipe would devastate my time sink.

HOWEVER: it would be nice to have a vast majority of people back in the low levels so I can finally get in a few solid groups. The people who are going to race to 60 are always going to race to 60, that won't change. I would vote for a wipe, but I haven't invested nearly as much time as other have.

That being said, I can see where those people who have invested hundreds (thousands) of hours are coming from. Of course, they don't want a wipe! It's understandable, and I sympathize with them.

Something that is important to note, however: This is not a democracy. Rogean owns the server. Our votes may voice our opinion, but a majority vote for a wipe doesn't mean everyone agrees; and you can guarantee some folks are going to get stepped on.

I'm not sure why you're playing classic EQ if you are seriously interested in playing SWTOR.

When was the last time the server was reset.. if ever?

I'm not against the idea of a reset.. i just don't think it should be done every 6 months to satisfy high game time people alone.


I think it would make sense to do a reset after a few years after p99 is in its final state.. (thats when velious is out so i believe?) when people are all happy with velious and if enough people want it.

As of now tho.. i'd vote no.. new server is out too the p99 red.. and i seen a ton of other servers out with low populations.. could grab a few friends and go hard mode there.. I was thinking of trying a solo ranger on one of the empty servers lol.

How about cleansing red server and making it an original PvE server, those who wish to start over may do so. I would enjoy starting over again, however with new server being PvP, thats just not going to happen. EQ pvp was crappy at best, its sole purpose was to see who could be a bigger dick. Camp taken you want , just train em etc etc.

I believe you could easily get 1/2 the current population to start over, hell the red people have already started over(and look how many ran to that for something different.)

Early EQ could not support a large bulk of the population in the same level range. Kunark is a very god example. You have kc and seb fairly easy mobs and seb has decent exp. Early on very few had HS keys and the zone is mean. Chardok is pretty mean as well and alot of casters who dont miss. So ideally you have 2 zones readily available for exp. And we had what 300 plus lvl 50's ready to rock on release?
To support 1k players 2 server are pretty much needed, and pvp is not the answer. Get 2 PvE servers up and running and i think you would see 300-500 on both at prime time. The new server would draw more crowd in, and the old would stay as it is.

But what about the players who like pvp? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
