It is intersesting to see people ask for a "Classic Kunark and Velious server." Kunark and Velious are expansions that made massive, enormous changes to the original Everquest.
This change was huge from Everquest to Kunark and even bigger from Kunark to Velious. There is nothing old school about Kunark and Velious. Old school is pre expansions. A classic server would have to be pre Kunark. Otherwise, different people would want different versions of what they consider classic. A server that had only Kunark, one that had Kunark and Velious. One up to Luclin, etc.

Can someone explain to me why SOE doesn’t advertise on TV?
I can explain. The cost of television advertising is very expensive. While SOE makes alot of money, they also have alot of overhead. What I mean is their profit percentage is lower than, say, Blizzard when they advertised Diablo 2 on TV heavily. At that time, Blizzard was small and they made huge profits from their games (Pre Wow discussion folks)
As an example:
SOE makes $100 but it costs them $90 to make their game.
Blizzardmakes $10 but it only costs them $1 to make games. They make more profit, not more money, and they can afford to advertise on TV. MMORPGs and PC games in general are successful and profitable but not huge cash cows like console games.(Ok, WoW seems to be the exception. And The Sims etc.)
