Finally, a new server is coming

I got an email from Sony, with the following excerpt:
"On January 21, 2009, EQ will be consolidating "The Combine" server and "Druzzil Ro (Tarew Marr)" server into one server to be titled "Druzzil Ro (Tarew Marr, Combine)." The merge will begin at 3 a.m. PST and will last approximately five hours.
In addition, in conjunction with the upcoming EQ 10th Anniversary celebration, SOE is expecting to add a new EQ server in March 2009 and players will be able to vote on a new server type. .."
About time, eh. Might be worth a one-month reactivation to check out, I'm thinking.

It's about time! I'll be voting for a slow moving progression server if given the option!
yep definitely about time. Good for low-levelling grouping which a lot of people must have forgotten is like now..
WTB a either a trilogy EQ server (Vanilla,Kunark,Velious)
ooor some kind of classic progression PVP server..
or a reinvention of Sullon Zek Diety based teams.. Sigh wishful thinking, ooh the SZ days
I would go for a server up to velious or kunark. With the new models option too.
Freeport should use the original unrevamped zone though.
Ditto. Up to Velious is fine. Luclin is when the game died for me.
Bleh. A new server?
I think I am going to stick with Vanguard, and I hope they continue to work on it.
Vanguard has a lot of potential, still, that is not tapped.
Persoanlly, not interested in EQ, anymore. They are about 2 years too late. What took them so long to take this seriously?
A new server is great i think~
but it takes time,maybe i'm not so patient to wait for that...
I'd love a classice server with the option of new models personally but I need to remember this is SOE not Verant.
I think id rather bore my eyes out with a sppon then give them another dime after how they screw up one game after another.
Playing: varies every day it seems.
Does anyone know yet what the options will be when voting for the server type starts?
I said I wasn't going to play any more EQ, but a new server might actually get me in again for a couple of months, but it may depend on what it ends up being.

This is where I draw the line: __________________.
If it's classic I am back. As long as no port A stones exist.
I want to taxi for plat like the old dayz...
This will be interesting.

An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it. - Jef Mallett
Here a new sneak peak of the new server types we can vote for:
O Plat-buying enabled server: Players can buy platinum directly from SOE for only $39.99 per 1M plat
O Power-leveling enabled server: Players can buy instant access to new levels
O Raid-gear server: Players can buy top end raid gear for fixed discount prices. As long as supplies last!
O NGE Reminiscence server: All classes will be removed and replaced by 3 new iconic classes: Tank, Healer, Damagedealer. This will remove any class balance issues and give players the real "Everquesty" feeling they are looking for.
As always, it's all about giving players choices. That's what we love SOE for!
j/k
(edited for grammar)
lol. Well the sad thing is that I believed you up till your third option.

Maybe I should change it to raid gear sweepstakes, to make it more credible...
Too little to late for me.
When I cancelled my 3 EQ accounts I listed lack of a new progression server as my reason. I have moved on to a new game now and don't plan on quitting just because they are finally getting around to releasing a new server.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill
Funny thing reading this post as my new EQ account is updating. I'll make sure i make my character on druzzil then
I am thinking the same thing : )
Only one I don't agree with is the EQ NGE server.
It will have 2 classes that can spec into "ability trees".
1) Melee with a light and dark spec. Light spec will be defensive (tank) dark spec will be offensive (melee dps)
2) Caster with light and dark spec. Light spec will be healer and dark spec will be caster dps.
All melee characters will start with a glowing sword and the ability to buy even glowier swords with station cash. For a large amount of station cash you can get a double bladed glowing sword. If you want to dual weild these you will have to sign over your soul in order to afford that much station cash.
They will also have the TCG where you can "win" a space ship so you can go back to Luclin for the extra content.
The first person to spend 1 million dollars will unlock a secret slot and be.. a... beastlord. (no jedi didn't exist in eq.. remember..)
Haha that's hilarious. I actually thought you were serious also until the third one.
I am usually a SOE fan,but this smells fishy.They say vote on a server type?Something tells me this is a fake ploy to incorporate a RMT server.IDK maybe there is something i am missing here?why on earth with a struggling game,with servers that are less than half of what they need to be,would they add a new one?it just baffles me IDK,has to be some reason,i am leaning towards a money grab of some kind,seems to be their present day strat.
Do not believe for one second when they say the server will be voted on by players lol,yes i am a bigtime pessimist here but oh well,we will see.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
More than 2 months of Classic/Kunark would be enough to make my quit, so I will not waste the money to resubscribe. I think alot of people crying for a classic/slow server didn't actually play the game back when those expansions exist.
It is not viable to do this, when most people already know how to level up as fast as possible. I know I'd probably be 50 in under 2 weeks for sure.
So I'll pass
EQ is the only game that I would go back to SOE for, as long as a new server did NOT have Station Cash enabled.
What I would like to see, in a perfect world (and when is it EVER a perfect world with SOE right?)?
Well, I would like to see a Trilogy Server (with model choices), with then the players having the ability to vote in new features from the expansions on a monthly basis, with a NONE OF THESE option in all elections. This way we could avoid the game breakers, while giving returning players a reason to buy the latest expansion, which should keep SOE happy for a while.
But, yeah I know, not gonna happen.
I vote for a server not run by SOE.
Yeah, I'll take the one.
Thanks
