server life?
 

So as I am really getting settled in, i realized how much i VERY much loved everquest and how much i missed it. Im glad i quit when i did (shortly before ykesha, was just too hard playing catchup turning into a casual player), but this server is everything i could of ever asked for. A good player base, friendly people, great community... My question is... think this will be around 2 years, years down the road? (yes i intend on playing as long as this server is up and running)

Much love!

Server isn't going anywhere. Anyone who has thought otherwise weeps in sorrow.

I am very glad this has been done, I love every thing about this =)

I echo Caridry's sentiments and applaud Uthgaard's response.

I'm sure the server will be around for a long time, but if nothing happens after Velious and it's been open for a few years, I think interest will wane as everyone has finally done everything they care to do. Especially since Velious doesn't add new levels. Then it'll eventually reach the point where there's so few players that the lack of players makes more players leave, and eventually it'll be down to a hundred or so lingerers plus the occasional newbie. That's a long way away, though. I wouldn't expect any kind of decline for another two or three years.

A good server population will last at least a year into Velious. So yeah, I'd have to say AT LEAST two years on that score.

Server will have decent population until Diablo: III comes out.

Then it'll be like 140 people on at peak times.

I suspect this server will be around a while. Being new here, but 'old' on live, it appears to have a well rounded population and is maintained and administered, which is a good sign. So kudos and thanks to all the admins.

I think it will be around until EQNext is here to satiate our nerdiness.

i really want EQNext to be good... but i fear it may just end up like every other MMO after EQ.. they're all made for newbs nowadays
