I think you're hopelessly out of touch with the red playerbase to the point of naivete, and have not acknowledged that the population isn't going to magically come back because of a PvE content release or cramming more zones/grind into a server that doesn't need them. Time to be more open-minded about this.

What??? You have completely the wrong idea about me. I even said in another thread that releasing Kunark/Sky wouldn't significantly increase the population. This is not what I support at all.

No. See above.

It's me talking to people who refused to play here because it was too slow and time consuming. That exp rate only works if you have a decent amount of players in most of the zones. Demanding that players here solo grind their way up just to see pvp is really shitty and unclassic.

This would be relevant in some way if I hadn't recently argued for a (temporary) exp bonus to help the population. Classic exp is my personal preference, but I understand that the server can't go on with exp the way it is.

Yes, you reach the point where player trust/security is impacted (VZTZ wiped too many times), but I wouldn't have suggested it if I thought that would be an issue. ...

I think your experience is with the wrong types of players. People from the VZTZ crowd want to jump from server to server, proclaiming box dominance after they've leveled to 50 in less than a week, or proclaiming GM bias/hacks/etc. when things don't go their way until the server fails. They want a wipe because eq is funnest to them when they've just started on a new server. But what about people who wouldn't come back because their character gets deleted? I don't just speak for myself, many people wouldn't come back. That's too big of a risk to take for some uncertain benefit of players liking fresh starts.
