Listen, the server is fun, when you are 50 and there is loads of PvP and shit to do.
The IMPOSSIBLE part is trying to start a non-solo toon right now. The absolute chasm that exists for TRUELY new people is absurd.
There is ZERO. NONE. NADA. ZILCH. NEIN. Chance that anyone will come to this server fresh. And if they do, it will be as a solo class, because there is quite literally nothing for a Melee to do.
The indisputable fact is, you have more people leaving than you have starting. And the ones that "start" are trading Blue for Red and thus aren't even new to begin with.
The server is dieing, you can say its not, but that is because you are already over the insane treadmill, and honestly don't care about people coming up.
Its the old, "I had to do it this way, so you have to also. And I will cry and scream if you have it easier than me." No you fucking morons, just because you did something, does not mean its in the best interest for all people to do it. Its that attitude that is the worst thing about the server, and unfortunately anyone that comes to this server/board now, all they see are those idiots.
The Admins/GMs are helpful enough, but its the dumbass attitude of the people on this board that keeps pushing people away.
I don't care if you were able to grind through it. It is in the best interest of the server to change. But because people want to brag about getting to 50 in classic that people are now killing the one server everyone wanted.
It is complete idiocy to think that the server is not slowly dieing, just look at the population numbers. The people that log in now will get bored and walk away, and on top of that, there will be zero new people playing AND STAYING because of the reasons outlined above.
