Let me start off first by saying that in my opinion Mayong hurt EQ’s other existing servers more then helped the game increase the existing population.
Being server populations are down, at least on Zek. That I rarely see NEW created toons start up low level or are power leveled so fast up that on a good weekend a brand new toon can easily achieve level 50+.
Here is the idea of the new server, would add an interesting twist.
Make a server that starts out at level 1 and goes to level 50. After a player achieves level 50 he then has to transfer to another server. The interesting part comes in with other servers and guilds enticing them to come over to their side. Sort of like a minor league camp and the pro teams trying to recruit them to their team.
The concept I am trying to create is new players having a huge population base to help group, quest and learn team play without having to beg and hope for a group.
And the interaction of cross server advertisements and player-recruiters enticing them to join their team on another server with plat, items or what ever, just adding another aspect to the game.
Rules would be as follow,
1) Blue server rules.
2) No transfers in from other servers,
3) You have to start a new toon on the Server. Transfer out to any other server, FREE at level 50. Exception would be Mayong & Test no transfer allowed.
4) You would be able to bring with you all your plat and items achieved
5) Transfer before level 50 and would have to pay for transfer.
It would be like a rookie camp.
Would like to hear if it would work? Negatives? Positives? And a name for the server?
Just an idea…but would start everyone off equal. And no one would have that big of advantage having to leave at 50….can even have big going away parties….lol
