Runlvlzero's tips to increasing server population.
 

Don't expect everyone to solo.
Don't kill noobs soloing.
If you see someone soloing and they aren't pimped in 5 different clickies and 200mr. Give them a helping hand.
Run pug groups.
Accept non optimal duos, exp locations, and groups.
Defend them from PKs.

PvP with people who don't stand a chance against you. Don't PK them. Buff them up with sow, chloro, and thorns, to kill MrBigs.

No you don't have to PL people.

Or farm gear.

Or even interact with them.

But if you 80% of the population dedicates 90% of their play time to just getting the next YT and fucking over everyone or soloing with their 9th set of twink gear.

You alienate every new player that shows up.

The only reason this box gets a +1 to pop is someone rolls a solo class and sucks it up to 60 without interacting with the community (what the fuck kind of way to play an MMO is this? GO FUCKING PLAY WOW, or PROGRESS QUEST)

Or they get lucky and can partner with other newbs.

This server doesn't have enough new people joining to feed the ranks and keep people leveling/getting gear to even have a chance post 50.

Yeah I'm pissed off. There are a bunch of losers here that deserve a bullet straight between the eyes.

build a crew man you can do it!

top g ***** aka topdog has been saving smaller pixels and delivering them around the worlds to newbs, it ain't much but it's better then griefing them off the box u feelers me?

I approve this message. Red needs much more than just +1 pop.

Basically what you've described are the benefits of a teams server. Where you'll have some folks to group and interact with positively because they couldn't get YT from you if they wanted to.

So what this man is saying is bring out teams99 already.

when filthed still had integrity

Jeez like your 3rd thread today about being "griefed" (AKA pvp'd without /duel command)

Shut up or go to blue if you can't handle it.

If a noob cant make it now when you can solo to 50 in 2 weeks with insane exp bonus it really just wasn't meant to be.

Thanks you guys rock and carry the entire box :D
