If Sony reset the servers tomorrow.

All your plat, all your characters, everything was gone, and you had to start over, would you:

a) Stay or Leave

b) If you stayed, would you do anything differently?

and

c) If you left, where would you go?

Hehe, was just thinking if there ever was a major server crash at Sony EQ, what would happen

Taleren Bloodsong

i'd quit, 4 years of time down the drain would be enough to force me to find something else to spend my time on.

Briaroak

I'd stay on EQ. Still love the game and find interesting things to see and do.

Might even create another druid, but probably would create ... a Bard. Yes, you heard it right, a bard. Human, Veeshan diety (love the RP opportunities).

Anguish Shadowstep

Would depend entirely if my friends stayed or moved on.

Juleea

I'd probably quit.

Santerre

If my guildmates and friends stayed, I would as well. I might make a wizzy this time, just to do something different. Been toying with playing a caster in EQ2.

An even more interesting question would be how to return a guild to power? My guess would be that the diety-based tradeskill armor would be the best way to start, along with doing "cash camps" like HGs. Try to be the first to level into CT range, the drops there are nice and could be "raided" by a guild that was in their 50s. With Tae Ew weapons/armor and some of the CT drops, groups could start moving into the tier 1 planes and valor/storms. Level to 65 with crappy gear and only 61-62 spells (remember, you wouldn't have the kunark or luclin era dropped spells either, unless you went and farmed them) then go back to Ssra and quick-raid old world targets, burrower/KT/AoW/Vindi... I doubt any top end guild would want to redo gearing up in NTOV but that is a possibility... in particular Eash and Iki...

Wow, would anyone want to re-key for ST? Probably not. And Emp/VT keying would be out of the question. It would be damn hard going to get back to the eles without VT... are the lower tier loots enough? Is ornate readily enough available to farm like you would in ToV?

Hell, maybe I would quit.

Mukaz

I'd stay.

Switching to a new MMOG would require me to start from scratch anyway and there aren't any RTS or FPS games that could entertain me as long or consistently as EQ has.

I'd like to say I'd do things differently and only focus on one character at a time but I'd only be fooling myself. Anyone who knows me knows I couldn't possibly do that. :\

Tierfin

quit for sure, dont have time to get near anywhere where i am now

Qene the Arcanist

If I would quit I would probably go play the FF online game, since some of my friends do, but like other people have stated I would probably depend on if my friends have played.

All in all though I would probably stay, and would start another wizard because I love the class that much. It wouldn't take as long(comparitively) to level up, because there would be tons of people your level and knowing good spots would make leveling very quick. Restoring equipment would be an absolute nightmare however.

Akom of Cazic Thule

I'd quit. Err...

Heh, well I would be sorry that 3 years of work was gone and there was nothing to show for it, but then again I'm done with EQ, so it wouldn't be a huge loss.
