Hey all,
Ive always been lurking on and off here from time to time always wanting to start a server, never finding enough time to do so and even now i have to finish a Unity 3D project before i can start on this endeavor.
I was wondering before i set this up if there would be people interested in a progression server with a couple of rules.
-Its a progression server :p that will stay on the same progress until a month has passed since the bosses that needed to be killed, where killed so that new people have some time to catch up, but not in an XP way.
-Everyone and everything will be set to the level of the current expansion, so in essence you don't need to do the xp grind from 1-XX, witch we all have done one too many times, and each and every zone will be valid to play in and to gear up on as all items will reflect the level of the expansion, AA XP however is gained normally.
-Up to 3 accounts per IP, this way we dont exclude family playing together and still allow a mild Tripple Box and 2 boxers could potentially group up to tackle content.
-With all the content put on an even playing field you can go wherever you like to hang out most, with friends or new characters instantly.
-A Divine gearing system will be added where items found as loot or bought donator items can be merged to become more powerful, the donations will be used to rent a server after Alpha/Beta as i have a 120M/Bit at home and will be running the server locally until numbers pick up.
-There will be no level requirements, nor No-trade & Bound Equipment except for the Divine Items, those will be No-Trade.
-The server will also be Merc free, as in no mercs.
-People will be rewarded with Server Loyalty Points to purchase Divine Items, raid mobs would reward those that are there and so on...more about that on a later date.
But most of all, would people like to see a server like this one, ive setup servers in the past to tinker on and its quite a bit of work, so if people tell me now, don't bother, i won't. As for me the server would be an ongoing hobby as i like to program and i like EQ and with all the new MMO's coming out failing hard to be something EQ once has been, idd like to preserve one myself, ive tried out my rose collored glasses before and joined a SOE progression server and boy ...my memory i had of EQ failed me a bit there :p.
So with that said, what are peoples thoughts of what they want? Suggestions are always welcome.
As a final note, i am looking at around end of april to get a server installed locally and get underway with Alpha, if there are enough people interested in it as i said i got a Unity project going and its foundation work is still roughly 3 weeks of work, but i wanted to gauge to check if there would be any interest in it as i would like to build a long lasting server with people on it, opposed to one with a big phat 0 users after a couple of weeks.
