This has always been such a myth. An example is EQMac, the same for I don't know how long still going strong. People will come and go but the game if good will live on. People will spread this myth because THEY want it to expand on for selfish reasons but new players will be continously happy to find an Everquest Trilogy server that still exist even if the old hats leave. Guess they will eventually come back too. Like this did this time around. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
To suggest that over time the population won't drop is pretty silly. Velious will give the raiders a lot to do, but the casual players will only stay engaged in the game for so long, even if it is a number of years. The knowledge that nothing else is coming is an undeniable deterrent to some players as well. Yes, new players will continue to trickle in but the casual players are the ones that will be interacting with them in their earlier levels, they won't even see the raiding guilds outside of EC or until they can raid themselves. Without a big casual player base the game becomes a lot less enticing to new players.
Classic EQ is great, but a person can only play it for so long. I really don't care what they decide to do here after Velious, when I get bored I'll go to a different game.
