There are several who linger on this forum, years after quitting. They hail the good ole days and cry for a reset. They can't let go or move on. Sad really. This is their life. This is all they have.
Trolling a forum of a 20 year old elf SIM, in which about 40 players play and only 10 or so that play actually read these forums. Throwing insults n such. That deserves a lifetime achievement award or something.
I think all those who quit are in a room together shouting "We won! You didn't!"
All I can say is....checkmate. At least they are refined to these forums.

No one win's at EQ - Let's be honest. People's definition of winning are different.
- Some like to play easymode PvP classes and exploit Z-axis and cast 2-3 nukes to get a kill shot on some undergeared player engaged in mobs from 10,000 feet and think that's skill.
- Some like to run guilds and collect as much lewt as possible to sell both ingame and outside game.
- Some like to login and have fun and joke in /OOC and act like an idiot (
this is my level of fun).
- Some like to play with 30 people online (
to me this is the pits - and completely defies what EQ is about both in a PvP and PvE sense ).
- Some see themselves as career EverQuest players and are fucking miserable people IRL and in game.
Also the bolded statement is not quite correct - those players that have left the server spend far less time engaged in this server and all have characters that they can login. They just choose not to.
edit: also what keeps most people coming back to check if the server will get a wipe/reset is the community. All the drama/Zergs/PvP/PvE/OOC creates a community that most people get hooked on. What you need to understand that all that is left is server with 0 personalities, PvE and ban lists for people who dare PvP. It's a dead community in that sense.
I cannot think of a single personality that still plays Red99 - it's just a bunch of washed up, bland, oreo and milk eating Blue99 players who want to skip queues.
