So either the server will be named "Aradune", or "Gaandaalf".

I've also heard that SOE is thinking about making this a 'no transfer' server. Meaning that even after the proposed six months, transfers won't be allowed making the server have its own economy.

Either way, I think I'll be playing on this one when it goes live.

It's about time they made a server that everyone had to start fresh on.

Transfers don't come with items, so the effect they'd have on the economy a mature server is so low as to be unmeasurable.

"No transfers ever" is a stupid idea, but "no transfers for a year" is reasonable... after a year the server will be just like every other server already anyway.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Depends upon how long it's been since you started a new character. The time sinks that were there two years ago are gone. You can probably level a new character from 1 to 20 in a couple of days, if you put your mind to it.

What this server won't have (at least not at first) is a bunch of powerlevelled twinks. I think it could be a LOT of fun - I just don't have the time for it right now. I'm still enjoying my 64 druid and my 25 enchanter on Xev. I'd rather not take the time away from them to level a third character right now.

nope.

Leveling my OGRE MONK aka Beastlord is bad enough as is. and i got him from 1-42 in about 4 days played. but leveling up a character that has to group like a War/Pal/Ranger/SK/Cleric/Monk would totally blow ass. the only saving grace to being a beastlord is that you can solo non-stop and get massive XP.

OT has now gone LB though so i'm gonna have to move to DL where shit just kicks the crap outta me.

Hrrmmm, guess this will mean auctions will be like, "WTS FS long sword 100pp." or, "WTS lammy 10k, lowest in the bazaar." or in my opinion the funniest, "WTS dragoon dirk 1k will trade for a full suit of banded mail"

Then, the next time a Guide or GM sees that origional character running around online, they'll strip its name off because it now violates the naiming policy.

Wheee, what a fun game.

The naming policy is way too fucking unenforced as it is.

Besides, server names get put into the name filter, so they'd have to have the names before the server has been added to the filter.

I'm not even sure they're enforcing a naming policy anymore. I've seen some pretty nasty names lately.

I know I started in March/April, but I doubt I was in the first 1k.

Can't remember exactly when though. Unless the character I had on EMarr is still there.. Ooh.. I'll go check.

Hrm... seems like I started Mid-May.

And I created characters on servers I don't even remember.
