There were always 3-4 guilds at least fighting/contesting spawns all the time, and the server never died no matter what kind of chaos was going on with the people running it. It died because keegan or whoever was in charge pulled the plug on it, not from lack of interest.

Devs are either being stubborn about changing it from what their version of a pvp server is or just plain don't care. Most of them have never even played pvp before and don't know how what features a pvp server should have. I'm not bashing at all, but other than nilbog randomly posting in a thread the other day, there has been absolutely no comment from rogean or any other devs about what's going on/what changes or features they plan on doing. I completely understand they do this for free and on their own time, but it honestly wouldn't hurt to maybe get a response from them once in a while or maybe ask us our input on what should/should not be in.
VZTZ was poorly coded shit compared to both p99 servers. I'm sorry but that's just a fact. I've proven this time and time again and the only response I've gotten is "lol gay".
I also find it hilarious that you say that 3-4 guilds were "always" contesting spawns and that the server never died due to lack of interest. Maybe 60 people on average were logged in every day. The only reason 4 guilds could contest a spawn is because all of the raid encounters were so fucking buggy and exploitable that any group of 15 idiots could kill them.

Maybe you don't care about pathing working correctly with mobs not constantly getting stuck inside of walls, maybe you don't care if basic parts of your class like instrument swapping are functioning right, but anyone who's played on a server of p99's quality does care and will tell you that VZTZ was unplayable in comparison.
