On top of that all the plat in the game that got there through hax cheats or exploits would be gone. Couple that with a stronger more secure server and hopefully the same type of crap won't happen again, it could make for the classic feel everyone wants. Wipe it.

yes

And that's a good thing.

The stagnation is probably the same thing sony went through during velious. Luclin came out with AA's to give high level players something to do. If this is an issue now, then it will be again even after velious comes out. To the best of my knowledge velious is the limit the devs put on this server. So yes there will be points in time where toons are max level, and best gear and nothing to do. And we are talking a full account of them.
Now sony's issues werent as severe with teams of people making content and fixes happen faster. But in the end velious showed them they had to do something or lose players to DAoC, which had "AA" for pvp stuff.
Im not 100% against a wipe, it would suck, however half the server didnt mind it for the pvp server. I would vote yes, and dump the pvp server, but just my 2cp. Pvp wasnt that good in eq anyways.

This is all just a sign of things to come if AA is never introduced to the game.

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.

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

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.
