It's still early but with this velious launch there was a lot of speculation about returning players coming back to fight the good fight.

Did that happen or did they just move on with thier lives?

There are less than 200 on right now.

You got to give it time. The players are going to come from blue not red. Give it another month of 350 person vindi poop socks every eight hours and you will see more players coming over.

Well people levelling up are being grieved by bored empire alts. Competitions leadership have no interest in playing and anything left of the server pop without an empire tag is doing their own thing because they don't want the stress.

R99 is in such a poor state I don't think nizzar would even want to come back and compete. Either line up for pixels in empire, find something else to farm or play a real game where guilds aren't disbanded so the server can be taken over by worse guilds.

At this point you may as well decommission red and have 2 blue servers.

It is clear Empire just want an RMT farm and have killed every single guild that has openly stated their intention was to eventually contest ;)

Red is just a gear pyramid scheme, the guild with more bodies and pixels wins. Vapo's fatal mistake was putting his faith in Terp and investing a big chunk of Nihilum guild bank into getting them up and running while Azrael was shitting on them.

I mean it sucks TMO wasn't as good as they thought they were or the pop might have gone up a bit.

At least the <Friends> crew, you know the "how can you farm kunark for 3 years" people will keep kunark locked down the second it isn't farmed, but that won't adjust the population much unless they recruit.

Who knows what would have happened to pop if staff listened early and removed xp loss in pvp before pop was depopulated from 600 to like 75 peak. They just watched as Holocaust posted in plain sight on forums that they wanted to grief people off the server and proceeded to do just that. Now the people who mainly did that (Holocaust) are on top and about to finish the job. GG.

Should have banned more dirty whistles in empire when you had the chance.


Gonghsow running around with blatantly RMT'ed fungus staff, and half of empire leadership that used RMT'ed goods from gyno. Never got punished.

It is just about peoples view of the server. When something that obvious goes un punished, people dont have any hope for server improvement in general.

I still enjoy the server myself when I have time to play, but like I said, I cant say the same for 90% of the people i used to play with.


People don't want to log into a sever where the GMs have some sort of random way of enforcing rules. Not entirely the staff fault,not enough people or whatever, but it is the situation .

Sektor got banned for RMT

Never approved of madudes RMT, i was not happy when he sold his mage.


I am kept out of the loop on any RMT on the "other side" , because people know I'd rather see everyone banned and have a legit server.


Ether allow RMT * which is not legal*, or ban everyone in the same fashion.

Gongshows fungus staff is the easiest, and most blatant RMT'ed item on the server. Takes 3 minutes to see what hands the item has been traded to. Not a complicated situation considering its the only one left on the box.

Anyone else that RMT"s or boxes, ban them too . I have zero problem with that. I personally don't like people that waste my time in game for 2 years just to get a 400 dollar pay day.

Sirken is close friends with empire leadership. I'll send you a snippet of the conversation between him and gyno minus the reference to IRL RMT transactions and you be the judge.

If you are looking for a pvp server where staff won't take sides - this is not the box. I've linked over 10 posts of my IRL pic done by empire members and I've watched every single one of those petitions become assigned to Sirken who sits on them to make sure his pals in empire aren't punished.

How long did it take bestow to get banned for posting colgates IRL pics?

If you feel that shit is one-sided it's quite obvious that it is. Quit the box or play a low level pvp character. There is no point playing here unless you want to help empire core score valuk aeer gear and get BIS while you get scraps at best.

Man you need to quit posting dumb shit like this.

If Empire was that bad, it would have long collapsed, I mean its not like there is a ton of fresh (kek) blood to be recruited right?

You either keep the people you can find and make it work, or you fail. Empire seems to please people plenty, why else would they stick around?

I haven't played in a few months, but I strongly feel I owe Empire because they were good to me. Hope you'll consider this and not see it as a flame.

It only gets harder. At level 30 you can just go level somewhere else and it isn't a problem. Once you are in your 50's they are no longer twinks, they are just players in end game and anyone not in your guild will kos you. Those twinks did you a favor and saved you some time.

Gyno and Sirken clearly have a relationship that is a conflict of interest towards impartial decisions and involves IRL phone contact and texting.

Gongshow has borrowed that Fungi Staff for multiple months because it's a powerful item for a monk/puller, something you as a shithead member of a shithead guild wouldn't understand since the only mob you can pull is Lodizel.

Once again, post your proof, message the GM's, or fuck off to another game because it's obvious you're extremely butt hurt you and your snout licking pals have lost.

Good luck and God bless.

Lol thrilla told vapo how much he sold it for but is too heavily invested with his empire pals getting pixel showers to rat gongshow out. Maybe if something happens and bridges get burnt and thrilla quits - a big maybe - but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Group xp was one of the best things that happened to server. Xp loss was terrible. This aint 1999 anymore, nobody wants to play EQ with that much annoyance in it besides you and like chewie and 15 other people (which was basically the boxes' pop at its lowest peak) so that a few of you can feel real masculine and marlboro-man-like.

Years of Kunark definitely bad, so was the xp loss era which saw the box drop from 600 peak pop to like 75 until xp was boosted by Rogean. When they nerfed it, box died again (The "it has to go bad before its gonna get better" month or two) until group xp went in and server finally recuperated a bit and taken off life support. Everything before group xp went in, it was metaphorically the dark ages and without muslim science group xp thats where it would have stayed. lol.

Will you be releasing your file on me at the same time Drakar? See sig.

Mate they aren't even punishing people for blatantly posting IRL pics and rmting, why the fuck would they even do anything about you using a modded EQ client?

It's no conspiracy Sirken is sitting on a mountain of RMT evidence that vapo forwarded implicating and proving a significant level of RMT and I only have half of what he's submitted.

Server is a joke, hello my IRL pic is being spammed and Sirken is literally trolling my petitions lol.
