I love the beginings of servers. Infact I like them so much ive done it 3 times. First on eclipse where we hunted around for the "best bone armor on the server" and then head off to the tusken fort where it took a group of 20 of us to get halfway up the cave, by that time we all died. And the few that got to the top got killed within 10 seconds cuz all the tuskens shot through walls.

Then I decided to do crafting on a new server when chimaera came online(im from europe so i wanted to play on a euro server anyway)

Was great fun being one of the first master weaponsmiths and having so many weapons go out and be used. Some people even come up to me today and say they still ahve one of my weapons .

Then I decided that I wanted to be an architect. At around that time infinity server came online and I rushed there about 10 minutes after the server came online and started my character. It was great and eventually became mayor of a great city. I have since left infinity server to rejoin my friends on chimaera and I do like it quite alot now. Although I miss the early days of a server.

If SOE were to create another new server, I will be sure to jump on there and start a new character. I would probably choose architect again cuz that was very fun .

i do very very much, i miss it, their were No DOTs, it also was that u couldnt buff for 3k either too,

So most people agree, A new server would be better. But It cant stop there becuase a new server its only a short amount of time before it reverts to Normal Server. So As i suggest'd a "hardcore server" one with greater XP requirments, Or less xp per Kill, or a Experience loss on death (Not to the point were u would be afriad to be pvp but osmething reasonable) We would need away To keep the old times rolling As long as possible. i myself do enjoy Today with my uber comp and uber cm poisens with deadly dizzy kd, but no ones around to pvp more at all EVERY single person i know is grinding xp like a madman. i would still rather see the old days come back -- im not talking about un doing updates just a server that will be harder to make noob days last awhile-- im sure this idea of a harder server isnt gonna attract to many people, But Some people like me Like the challenge and it feels good when u have done somethign nearly impossible or extremely hard and u did it despite the odds. idk wat we can do to Convince SOE to allow something like this so lets just expand on the idea of a new server, Put out some ideas About wat could be done to make a difficult server To preserve the old ways lol

Then you don't understand what we are saying. Yes, for you the only difference is the novelty factor because things when you started were much the same as they are now.

Remember that in the first month of the game, there had only been about 4 spawns for each type of resource so crafters had to make the best of it with what they had. There were few if any uber resources which meant fewer uber weapons and armor. No player cities, no vehicles or mounts, best of all NO Jedi. You don't remember what those things were like and I don't think you can imagine how significantly different last July was compared to January or now.

This game was so much cooler w/o Jedi. I mean holy **edit** - what a way to ruin a perfectly cool game.

Why not just make Jedi a *regular* - Like profession just harder to make? Seriously Jedi ruined the Galactic Civil War with their uberness.

Fun Factor in PVPis ZERO. I hate dueling any more.

Remember when like 100 guys would raid Bestine? Or Anchorhead?

In the first month of this game the fights would last for hours on end!

Now, 3 Jedi appear and it's all over. Fun FACTOR ZERO.

Remember when people wore other types of armor? Man I miss the LOOK of Chitin and Bone. Now only chump morons wear it.

It would be nice if an armorsmith could add composite-like stats to any kind of armor just so we have variety.

Actually, a good armorsmith can make other types of armor worthwhile to wear for their own purposes...

Advanced Bone with Voritor Hide can be an awesome low-encumbrance PvE solution for new players - you know the sort who wear bone off the bazaar anyhow? They don't realize it's doing them little good - but if they had a suit that was 40% energy and 10% kinetic (or more) that they could wear unbuffed, it would sell and they'd wear it.

Same with Chitin - you can get some serious Kinetic resist on it, you can afford to sell even the best Chitin on the bazaar and make a profit, and again, players can wear it unbuffed.

Mabari?OK, its pretty useless, I'll grant that.

The reason that we don't see other types of armor isn't that they are no good, it's that there aren't any armorsmiths who take the time to make good Chitin or Bone. They prefer to go after the big-money Composite and Kinetic Ubese. A Master AS with good materials can make other types of armor useful again, if only they tried.

relive the old days? hell ya

The name of that UO server is Siege Perilous.

I think that's just what this game needs, but effect it on all servers.

XP Loss, body runs, no buffs, nerf this, nerf that, hit it all with a big nerf bat...

------------------------------------
I've never opened a Holocron.

Im not here to bash jedi's ruining pvp. And im not saying that the first month was ASwome ONLY becuase stuff was new But It was 100% differnt society of team work. And a harder server with Less uber Spawns, Higfher xp cost, xp loss on death will provide us with a challenge That could only be over come with teamwork -- not a 20 man solo group grinding jantas for mills -- back then u spend for ever in a HUGE group on endor traveling around and makeing some money but it was good back then. What We need is Some member of SOE a dev or some one to Read this post and At least Through the idea out to the others, Just at least give it a try, hell I'd be willing to pay up to 5$ morefor a New Harder or hardcore Server.

Now im really bad at trying to get stuff to work.

I need Everyone who agree's with me on this to get the word out, So the Devs will hafta have read our plead at least once and if one does Read this -- At Least Throw the idea onto the board, or to others for us, the people who make up swg community and pay to play to have fun with each other --

now some u are going to say to us Why dont we just Seperate ourselves from Civilization and create our own utopia within the world that is. It's very possible that we could do it but its hard to seperate yourself from the rest of the server when u make up maybe 1% all togethor.

So Any one repost this else where, make your own post about it, give us more ideas, help it get noticed by some one who can make it happen.
