It's not about WoW scrubs, EQ vets that don't know about the server will facepalm the "zomg vanilla WoW so hard" rhetoric and hatejerk in the comments. That's where they'll see the plug.

I don't get it, all that stuff except the BoA were all in the original WoW.
The night comment didn't exist.

I do have to ask one thing. I tried reddit about a year or two ago and when I was using it for a very short period of time it wouldn't let me make comments until like 5 or 10 mins after each other, don't remember the exact time limit. Is this a normal function or was it because it was a new account or something? It was the main thing that turned me off of the website to begin with.

That's mostly because of the oversensitive folks at Jezebel/Buzzfeed/Tumblr, who would probably say the same about 90% of online communities, but Reddit is the largest/easiest target. But it's not like I'm gonna change anyone's mind in this thread anyway...

Does anyone else have any ideas on how we can grow the server pop?

besides velious

[Daldaen]

Semantics

You do realize making a troll account of an attention whore gives them exactly what they want, right?

It's like actually responding the Lron.

If you ignore it, it will shrivel up and die.

Also WTF is a reddit?

[Cistern]

i'm all for population and stuff but more people doesn't really equal better. do you really think WoW vets will even be able to get into EQ?

EQ
-Focuses on community
-Extremely grindy and very unforgiving
-If starting for the first time, you can't really solo at all past level 10(depending on class)
Among countless other things that if you're not familiar with this type of game, it will be really hard to condition yourself to even enjoy it when you've developed a wow-tier MMO frame of mind.

I think this server is more of a "play here because this is what you used to love and want to re-live" instead of "play here for a new experience" because honestly, 9/10 a new player who's only known WoWish type of MMOs probably won't last long, and I could care less.

we dont want any more of those whiny, entitled, reddit faggots here. youre trying to ruin the server. let them play games where you can get away with being bad like WoW and LoL.

There was a large portion of people in that thread making fun of the WoW kids because EQ was harder and saying that they wished they could experience it again.

Those were the people I was trying to recruit.

I want to destroy this server. I won't rest until every zone is instanced and every mob drops defiant. The streets will run Red and Black with Prismatic Armor Dye. There will be a new Norrath order and its capitol will be PoK. The Bazaar will take back it's rightful throne as the last /auc cries out, "Not classic!" I will not get lost in my path toward this destiny, for the way is made clear with Backspace.

Why do we want it to be any larger? Maybe the Red server but the Blue server is fine and will be bursting at the seams should Velious release.

Don't need more new players asking to 'wipe' the server and start over cause they missed out on DE masks and don't want to pay today's current prices.

Waah this group took the tank in a Fungi over me... boohoo

Those threads appear like once every two months by a single person. Meanwhile, returning players are populating zones and making it easier to find groups. FFS, let's try to get LoIO back to its former glory.

is it possible to ignore users on this board? if so, how?

yes, goddamnit

UO 1997-2001ish (whenever they introduced that goddamned Trammel/Felucca crap. quit a few month after)

EQ vanilla - LoY

WoW BC - current


people can play all the games

poopsock veterans represent what whaaaaat

[sox7d]

View public profile -> user lists -> add to ignore.

[tanknspank]

The same way a segment of the gamers of 1999 found EQ appealing, some of those who got into it in 2004 or 2009 or 2014 will too. Sure, most will find it horrible, but some will enjoy it. My wife started MMOs with classic WoW, but once she got past the graphics and the preconceptions about EQ, she's enjoying this server.
