It could be the holidays and it could be TOR, but it seems like the server is still losing people. Hopefully it picks back up but I think there needs to be a way to get people playing again. From 500+ a month ago to just under 250...that's half the pop in a month.

Exp bonus?
Item loot?

What can be done?

XP rate would be fine if certain players were punished instead of rewarded for bypassing the grind by cheating. bad decision on part of the staff imo thats leading to population exodus

Ask for him a list of "cheats" and you'll get a lot of rhetoric without any solid facts.

Two people got two levels from wands which was hotfixed.
Swords were not an exploit, worked the same way on blue only the procrate was bugged and was patched once it was bug reported. Regardless, tons of people 45+ (me) that never used swords.
Anything else...?

Let's see, a pvp server that punishes people for pvp with exp loss.
Grueling bluebie exp rate.
Race/class exp penalties.
And when you ask for those two to be removed, you get "it's not classic," yet when you ask why pets are so gimpy, you get silence.

Laffo, look at all these people apologizing for non-classic nerfs.

Not my fault your paladin was gimped in classic. I actually played one in the beta(the real beta, back in 1998), I petitioned the shit out of how terrible they were and how the Ghoulbane was a joke weapon to balance the class around (yes, Verant actually argued that HOLY WEAPONS would balance the paladin class at launch).

And, you morons missed the point. You can't scream THATS NOT CLASSIC while approving of non-classic gameplay nerfs.

Potus, all you ever do is whine. Like right now, what are you seriously complaining about? Mages being only 95% as good as they were in classic? Pet aggro isn't an intentional nerf, it's a problem that's been around for a while that they've acknowledged and that they'll probably fix eventually. Apart from that the only glaring issue I can think of regarding pets is that they don't take the delay of the weapons they wield like they did in classic (so giving a pet two fine steel daggers isn't as overpowered as it was back in the day). Considering the amount of epic bitching that occurred when they added sword of runes proccing as it did in classic, I don't think the devs are going to be fixing the aforementioned bug any time soon.

Every class has its problems. This server's a work in progress. You can either contribute to it or continue whining on the forums about how underpowered your class is.

If they remove xp loss upon pvp death then what sort of penalty should they replace it with? Item loot?

They add in item loot then how many people are going to cry about that on the boards?

I think a large reason the population drops is because casual players here all of you trolls talking about how people aren't punished for exploiting etc. You think that doesn't drive away casual players or even some hardcore players who just aren't as informed? It does. I had to calm several players down and explain what actually happened.

Stop trying to label everything as an exploit and crying about it at the top of your lungs and maybe you'll stop driving people away. I know at least one person left over something I wouldn't/couldn't do. Whatever.

Maybe go recruit your old pvp buddies to play. If you come up with a legitimate well thought out proposal for something and submit it to nilbog/rogean in the proper location (in the petition/exploit forum or their pm box) I think you'll have a better response.

I agree that new people WILL be driven off once they start reading the forums. I think one of the only things that will bring people back is an exp bonus for levels 1-25. At 25, you start hitting places like MM, Guk, Sol A and it becomes more fun than just sitting in one place killing the same stuff over and over.

I love reading these from you "hard-core" PvP'rs while ignoring the fact that your population continues to dwindle more and more each week. I stopped playing because the grind is terrible, I loved classic EQ, mainly because I was a teenager living at home with my parents with no responsibility, so I could dedicate 4-8 hours a day...

I would presume, the majority of those who tried p99, are like me, here for nostalgia, perhaps try some things I never got to do on live....

Instead, I find myself trying to do the same thing I did 10 years ago, but now I have a job, wife, kids, etc.

Those of you that can play this game 8 hours a day obviously have no life, so continue to bash, and ignore the facts and soon your p99 EQ experience will be like your love lives...(playing with yourself) :D

So you what to play on an EQ EMU but got mad when you found out you had to play everquest? What is wrong with you?

If you want to play here, play at whatever pace you want, you don' t have to be 50 in the next 6 months to still have fun and experience PVP at all levels. we had a pretty sweet PVP battle in oasis last night. I am not 20 yet, i still meet new ppl and have fun everytime i log in.

If you dont want to play everquest thats fine, its not for everyone.

I think its pretty obvious whats causing the population to drop. I doubt its what you are talking about. Does Rogean and Nilbog have a character on Red99 or blue99 they leveled up to 50? I dont think so. This is probably the reason why they added in XP loss to pvp. Its already really long to level up a character and especially longer if youve done it all on blue already and the reliving EQ thing is partly gone.

No amount of events can replace daily world pvp for me. Going back somewhere and trying to gank the same group over and over might be called "bindrushing" by people who dont like it but its pvp, the sort that would happen most on Rallos Zek. Either that or hanging around the same place for hours on end pvping. (I remember HHP being a hotspot on Rallos, as was Oasis and EC for pvping).

Youve listened to basement dwellers with no lives telling you that the xp loss was nothing and that only babies bad at the game would complain about it. People using words like "bindrushing" to describe long drawn out pvp fights where i would get most of my fun on Rallos.

Like this guy: Xp loss in pvp is like 1%, its meaningless, less than a blue mob.


So now its your core population.

I dont mean to just complain but i think the solution is again pretty obvious, you just have to stop listening to the crowd of pve poopsockers and the lulz griefers who want xp loss in pvp to stay in. Were you seriously thinking you would get any kind of new blood to the server after 2 months once twinks were in and ganking new guys? You learn the game through pvping, experience. How long do you think new people to the game are going to stay getting xp loss for lulz by twinks who know the game 10X better than these new guys? Theres an extremely long learning curve to pvp right now because nobody wants to die because of xp loss, i dont care what the basement dwellers say. You will never get an influx of people this way. Im not sure what can be salvaged from the server right now though, the time to act was probably when we were hitting 650 people at peak.

Safe to say your presumption is wrong bro.. right now between 9 AM and about 3 PM (when most people are working) I seen an average of 100-130 people online during the day... compared to the 200-220 at night

And consider that some of those that are on at night are the same ones that are on from the morning/day I will say the hardcore crowd greatly outnumbers the casuals...

In the end, this server will have a steady 140-180 pop w/ the people that refuse to move from EQ .. I can see a slight bump when Kunark releases and even once people are in a position to 'twink'

Already most newbie zones are ghost towns... if theres nothing to promote a steady player influx, the players that are maxxed out will slowly decrease as they lose interest and move on to other things

What live was that? Rallos Zek, where there was item loot? Or Sullon Zek, where there was exp loss for an in-range pvp death? Those are the only two PvP servers that mattered.

People don't play here because at the beginning, middle, and end of the immense grind, there is no reward for PvP. RPKs are rightly seen as total assholes because there is basically zero reason to PK an average person between the wicked low population and zero incentive.

Vallon and Tallon had more people than both. They both had great populations after item loot was removed as well.

prty ez for naked caster to jump you everytime you try to fight a mob... and rly naked casters just about the same damage as a geared caster

Yeah casters really had it easy back on rallos with lots of twinks running around unrootable from magic resist and other scenarios where naked casters wtfpwned everyone in sight

You corpse camp casters anyways, what do you care?

Seriously though, naked casters have no resists, just root/snare/blind/mez/stun them and walk away. Come back 2 minutes later and destroy them and camp them permanently for not LnS'ing. Do you think naked casters bindrushing didn't happen on Live? It was dealt with quite easily.

Potus confirmed fucking moron.

With no death penalty you will get bind rushed by retards until you decide to just leave because you aren't getting anything done and are causing no damage to them.

Please get past level 5 before posting about PvP mechanics.

He can't get past level 5 because his pet aggro is broken and pet classes are useless that's why no one plays them or the server.

Potus posts are so bad.

underestimates the willpower of the denizens of this community
dying with no death penalty = nonstop rushing until the other person logs/moves from the contested spot

Or the other person actually wins and rusher gets tired of dying and quits.

Once again, it is ridiculous to claim that wasting time isnt a death penalty. If it was like on Rallos, then youd have to med for ~10 mins between each fight if youre soloing. If youre not a caster, you have to "rush" like vroom instant-like back to the zone where pvp happened.

server pop will continue to hemmorage until only the ppl that actually will be playing this box are like 10-20 complete no-lifers like darwoth

then there will be like 15 or so rando bloob converts that are playing not because of pvp but only because they wanted legacy item like guise

in due course the latter group will realize the extent of their life's ambitions peaked at looking "super sick" with dark elf illusion on their half elf ranger named "Xxsephirothxxdrizzydrakexx" and commit suicide

To get this thread back on track:

I think the server left a bad taste in peoples mouth with no guard assist and a lot of congestion and griefing shit.

Now it's much better and community is better and more fun. A lot probably feel like "Oh it's too late there is already 50's farming stuff".

As Holocaust has proven just because olks have been 50 and farming a lot of shit doesn't mean you cant catch up and stomp faces.

They should come back imo it's not near over but some act like it is, NO HEART.

It would be fun to find out, people scared.

I'm leveling a rogue which is a bitch with low pop but I still want to get end-game and pvp for loots and stuff.

People are like "Oh I'm not first to 50, server over." like come on.

The journey is the destination. PVP for pvp's sake, just like Classic. Youd sometime get a drop out of someone who didnt bag, but it wasnt the main purpose of pvp.

Whaa? My shaman was 15. Never got bindrushed once.

How did you people play on live with all the bindrushing? OH that's right there wasn't any, nor is there on any pvp server because naked people are very easy to kill.
