View Full Version : Easy GM assistance to increase pop?

I never go onto the blue forums because...well why would I.
I randomly did and happened to notice some threads attempting to recruit people to red.
Almost all of the players that comment say they have tried a red character but notice there is no one to play with at low levels and quit. This is entirely understandable.
Can we do something like offer increased exp up to level 20 for a week? Maybe just give people level 20 characters if they make them within a small window?
It seems to me the standard rules were bent a bit and people were allowed to see what the game is like on this server without having to solo in rags from lvl 1 in empty zones there would be a lot more people willing to play here.
Let's be honest this server only gets fun lvl 50ish plus because you can actually start playing with the rest of the population.
Maybe this is a shit idea but it seems like it wouldn't be hard to get a nice boost in the population and currently the server is in the best state to retain players as it has been in a very long time.

The experience bonus is already PLENTY enough bonus. You already can't afford spells if you get in a reasonable group b/c the exp is too fast.

Red so hard up for Holocaust croots they want like, triple mega welfare? There's already a very significant bonus.
People don't play red because they get fisted by level 30s with epics and fungis while trying to level. Oh I forgot to add, the level 30 is being healed by a 57 Druid so there's not dick the 30s could do if they tried.
And then unless they join Holocaust or the flavor of the day zerg guild, might as well be dead in the water.

You can level past 30 so fast....if you quit because someone kills you then you should probably go play a different game all together.
There are multiple guilds doing epics and planar raids. You are erroneous. I am trying to be constructive.
P.S. I am not in Holocuast.

No, because Red is just the same QQ as Blue, just with people killing you :(

I don't think the people complaining about not being able to hit 20 are going to be significant on either server. Red has been getting new people to join the server as it is.
Just ignore the people complaining about stuff that for some reason never hurt anyone else when they leveled from 1-50.
If they are on blue they are complaining that twinks are dominating all the camps in cb/unrest/mistmoore. If they are on red they are complaining the twinks are PvPing in cb/unrest/mistmoore. They are little bitches no matter where they are and even though they are playing a 15 year old game they haven't figured out how to level up outside of these 3 zones.

Pm me when you're ready to put that anger to good use. I'll put together a mini pixel package for you.

Also Tass, you're so mad bro.
Worst case scenario, bluebie is an easy target to pk and quits. Still get kills in the interim.
Best case scenario, they love it and turn red.

Yumyums you might be the only person I'd ever consider listening to for going over to Red.
Shame we're on opposite sides or it could be fun.

Not sure who this Korben fellow is but I think he should go back where he came from.

You can also try not being antisocial and talking in /ooc or go two zones over to gfay.

Why as a gnome would i go there at level 3 to get ganked by someone so they can take my 4 gold and leave me walking back to gfay in nothing, even though its not a huge downgrade from the 2 ac robe i was wearing. And no i prolly cant bank there as a necro.

I made a barbarian in Halas on blue
There were no groups
I threw my computer down the stairs, then I collected it, took it back upstairs and threw it out the window

Umm. I was in steamfont on blue for 3 nights in a row and didn't see 3 people. Steamfont isn't a happening zone...period.
