    Lag and server populations are also issues that we're aware of and working to resolve.

    Re: Merge?

    Cross server dungeons may help with issues that some servers have, as well as transfers or merges. As mentioned during today's stream (there's a link in Holly's post if you missed today's show), we're discussing the right way to handle this in a way that benefits EQ2 players best long-term.

    Last year, one of the devs posted that there were plans for upcoming non-max level content. Now this was stated before the separation from SOE and I haven't seen anything since, so not sure where this stands... or perhaps whatever was planned died :p

    My heart literally skipped a beat when I read the first line about a time locked PVE and PVP server. Seriously, I am beyond excited. My hope is that both are locked at 70 or 80, EoF or RoK and never progress farther.

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

    As part of the announcement, some of the expansion 12 dungeons will be playable level-agnostic so level 20-94.

    The Queen Of Love is returning to Norrath at last, though some of it is nice, nothing else matters.

    TBH, this has me interested as well. I like SOME parts of the EQ1 model (BTW, anyone know if the EQ1 ones are Subscriber only still?) such as the timeframe for expansion progress (Think it was like 6 mo. between OG and Kunark in the mid-paced framework idea). Hate the lack of server space they are reporting though.

    What I would LOVE to see on our end is to increase overworld difficulty back to the "old days" -- PM me all the hatemail you want if you know what the old days were like and didn't like it lol -- as well as making content relevant to the altered gear. Since these servers are meant to be nostalgia trips for people then the difficulty would be a plus, especially with all this uber-powered gear.

    It would also be fun to have the IoR and the Districts back, would love if Roshen or someone could provide some insight whether or not this is possible, I do not think it is considering older statements in regards to peeps asking for TLP servers however.

    Also requesting permanently-disabled BGs on those servers may not be asking for TOO much for the pvpers I'd imagine?

    As for the announcement, I am gently curious and will wait on further developments.

    Me too. I just wish so many players hadn't already left the game. Maybe if they can pull things together, some of those players might return.

    Excited to see people actually posting in this thread. I have just come back to game after a long hiatus that began after the release of Sentinel's of Fate. Unfortunately, Nagafen seems dead. Nonetheless, I have been looking into progression guilds so I am happy to hear that there will be servers that specifically support this type of gameplay.

    When we speak of Antonica, can the Timberclaw gnolls remember how to unleash their TRUE power on us lowly qeynosians? Lately, I've felt like even a butterknife can split their leaders in half. Let's give them back ^^^ Heroic status please. XD

    Aye, the one major thing from EQ1 that I am hoping they go against the grain on is the 'paid members only' part. Again, unless they've dropped that in EQ1 now even in which case I may have to get it on Ragefire...XD

    Just to be clear, It seemed as though in the stream today Ethereals were targeted to be added to the game as early as tomorrow/but no later than a week or so. In your post Holly you eluded to it being a bit "later in summer" can we get clarification on this? Thank you!

    Why do you want me to group? Why is that so very important to you? I don't want an incentive to group. I enjoy playing in a game world with other players, not going through scripted group content. I do group sometimes but I would like to progress doing the content I like how I like, not how you want me to.

    I really think this "incentive to group" mindset is out of touch especially with how mmos have evolved.

    Anyway I'm curious and will watch how things progress. I think time-locked progression servers are cool. Some have been asking for that for a while now.

    Will the new progression server have no /marketplace since it was said no /claim either?

    I just wanna start thinking of my low level outfits now.
  19. Regolas Well-Known Member

    You can progress through all the solo content you like. But you can't expect to get the same standard of rewards vs people who work together to progress.

    The game has way more solo content now than ever to appease all playstyles. If you want items that are overpowered for your playstyle then buy them and quit complaining that everything should come from solo play.

    . I don't suffer from lag, even in the high end zones, at least, not so far. Perhaps some tweaks to your system could help? I seem to be constantly upgrading my pc for this game (and others) and it has worked for me so far. Is there a specific zone that is giving you trouble?
