Hardcore and Casual servers

Calbiyum · 11-26-2007, 06:32 PM

Hope this is ok for this section but even if it's not, I'm a mod so what da fuk yall gana do?!(I'll edit your post, well not really edit it, but add this in so there punk!)

Anyway I'm sure many people have had this idea before this post but what would be wrong with having a casual and hardcore server? For example on a hardcore server lets say you have 100% contested mobs and casual 100% instanced. (just an example) And on a hardcore server a mob has 10million hp and on a casual server 5million hp. I can think of some stuff that may not work with it but is there any major issues keeping this from happening? I for one would like it.

Dumb idea. Why play on a hardcore server when you can gain the same from playing on a casual server? There'd have to be an added benefit to playing on the hardcore server.

I did think of that but I'd rather be challenged than walk into a zone and clear it with 0 effort, or have it nerfed. =(

the elite is just gonna make a alt guild on the casual server to pwn stuff there too...

soe tried it allready with the casual and hc separation, for one there is eq2, for the others there is vanguard... well, where did vanguard end?

SoE didn't create Vanguard, and Vanguard sure had great hardcore content. In fact, it has about as much in common with hardcore, as Tabula Rasa does with End-game content.

i didnt say they made it...

but i'm pretty sure they bought it to have somewhere they can redirect the hc crowd to when they keep watering down eq2.

too bad vanguard was released unfinished and will most likely go the way of the dodo within a rather short time.

obviously they bought it to let it die down, vg is actually dead right now
