Lol, yeah, we used to do Drak and The Beast at the same time on occasion. My old guild leader did lots of zany pulling to alleviate the crushing boredom of the endless UBRS runs.

If they could bring back the classic era of EQ, and keep it there. I might actually play it again.

Your ideas are so very innovative. I've never heard anyone say that before.

Your retort was truely unique. I'd recommend immediately trademarking it.

I tried. Turns out it's already taken.

People always say that classic shards won't work, but I am not convinced they can't.

I played on a classic UO shard that had over 1.2k people on at peak times and rarely feell below 700 on offpeak. The shard was around for 2+ years and the only reason it died was because people kept Ddosing the server and causing it to crash/lag. The only issues that the server had were a direct result of it being run by one person instead of a company. There was a LOT of interest and most of us were far from being bored when the shard ended.

I think something like this could work, but it is defintely a risk without a guarenteed reward.
