50 population was because of /who all nihilum > "your request was cut short" due to a PoF raid.

Tr0llb0rn, you cannot claim that the server pop is X because of a batphone raid. The server spikes and falls between 0-50. Probably 20 or so on average. This and that stupid Oprah gif, you wonder why so many have you on ignore?

Although, the population has been climbing slightly I believe, and I have 4 days /played on a level 45 character (love being a casual), so I am glad to see flux into the server, however I would love a wipe with a non-broken server start. However, I know it would probably be the death blow to the server. Should have happened the moment Rogean got a whiff that it was released to early.

Fixing 1) guard assist, 2) resists, and 3) no wands/sword of runes/pathing exploits would have guaranteed this server to have >300 people a night.

Blue epics and VP pale in comparison to the server loss caused by the big three. All of the whiners about exp are lame as well.

I still think the best solution would be to open Red99 2.0, start over, legacy time period, and promise server merge after 4-5 months. That way Nihilum can continue farming and stockpiling a gear advantage while others can try to catch up from a non-broken server launch. Yet to hear a better idea to save the server. (/whisper YES IT NEEDS SAVING, biatch sprung an uber leak on day one) Kunark will not save server, it will help for a month or so I think! Will be a fun month, and I am looking forward to it!
