I got an email from Sony, with the following excerpt:

"On January 21, 2009, EQ will be consolidating "The Combine" server and "Druzzil Ro (Tarew Marr)" server into one server to be titled "Druzzil Ro (Tarew Marr, Combine)." The merge will begin at 3 a.m. PST and will last approximately five hours.

In addition, in conjunction with the upcoming EQ 10th Anniversary celebration, SOE is expecting to add a new EQ server in March 2009 and players will be able to vote on a new server type. .."

About time, eh.  Might be worth a one-month reactivation to check out, I'm thinking.

It's about time! I'll be voting for a slow moving progression server if given the option!

yep definitely about time. Good for low-levelling grouping which a lot of people must have forgotten is like now..

WTB a either a trilogy EQ server (Vanilla,Kunark,Velious)

ooor some kind of classic progression PVP server..

or a reinvention of Sullon Zek Diety based teams.. Sigh wishful thinking, ooh the SZ days <3

I would go for a server up to velious or kunark. With the new models option too.

Freeport should use the original unrevamped zone though.

Ditto.  Up to Velious is fine.  Luclin is when the game died for me.

Bleh.  A new server?

I think I am going to stick with Vanguard, and I hope they continue to work on it.  

Vanguard has a lot of potential, still, that is not tapped. 

• Customization;
• Exploration Features;
• Greater Use of Land;
• EQ 1 style dungeons;
• Other.

Persoanlly, not interested in EQ, anymore. They are about 2 years too late. What took them so long to take this seriously?

A new server is great  i think~

but it takes time,maybe i'm not so patient to wait for that...

I'd love a classice server with the option of new models personally but I need to remember this is SOE not Verant.

I think id rather bore my eyes out with a sppon then give them another dime after how they screw up one game after another.

Does anyone know yet what the options will be when voting for the server type starts?

I said I wasn't going to play any more EQ, but a new server might actually get me in again for a couple of months, but it may depend on what it ends up being.

  Looks like my 2 bazaar traders will be offering "going out of business sales" since they are below lvl 10 or no room for them with all 8 slots full on Druzzil ro. All together I loose 3-4 chars, but fewer chars to play better time to lvl them.

If it's classic I am back. As long as no port A stones exist.

I want to taxi for plat like the old dayz...

This will be interesting.

Here a new sneak peak of the new server types we can vote for:

 O Plat-buying enabled server: Players can buy platinum directly from SOE for only $39.99 per 1M plat

 O Power-leveling enabled server: Players can buy instant access to new levels

 O Raid-gear server: Players can buy top end raid gear for fixed discount prices. As long as supplies last!

 O NGE Reminiscence server: All classes will be removed and replaced by 3 new iconic classes: Tank, Healer, Damagedealer. This will remove any class balance issues and give players the real "Everquesty" feeling they are looking for.

As always, it's all about giving players choices. That's what we love SOE for!

j/k

Maybe I should change it to raid gear sweepstakes, to make it more credible...

Too little to late for me. 

When I cancelled my 3 EQ accounts I listed lack of a new progression server as my reason.  I have moved on to a new game now and don't plan on quitting just because they are finally getting around to releasing a new server.

Funny thing reading this post as my new EQ account is updating. I'll make sure i make my character on druzzil then :D
