The EQEmu PVP community is funny..
Here is my take:
In this day and age, if you're going to play a 13 year old game you want the "Microwave" experience, you don't want the slow oven baked experience-- I personally grinded on this box because I never played a previous emu and was up for it.. now that I have gone through that grind, I shutter at the idea of even grinding on LoZ with its 500x xp rate. This isn't 1999 folks, there is a plethora of new video games out and coming out that don't have that crazy grind and people just got bored of it on Red, that is the truth.
I'm shocked to still see soooo much resistance to a serious perm xp bonus on red, who gives a shit guys? If you were to ask me 4 months ago, if I would participate in a 200 pop box but it only took people a week to get level 50 and if I didn't, then I would be staring at a 10 population box at 7 PM EST on a Wednesday night.. guess what? I'd take the perm xp bonus
Far as I'm concerned this community is broken up into two sub groups:
The PvP group want to PvP with as minimal effort in grinding and leveling to 50 as possible.
The PvE group is cashed on old world content and wants new content.
Easy fixes.. the devs here just don't have the time or care for the server anymore so people have moved onto LoZ as shitty as it may be coded, I'm sorry I think it speaks volumes for the state of 99.
