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!

Those things were terrible, and surely accounted for many leaving early, but of the 400-500 that existed right after launch, over 300 were still around after 2 out of 3 of those problems were fixed. Not exactly that cut and dry.
I know I wouldn't play after a wipe, but if I thought another server to be merged with the present red would work, I'd have been for it... several months ago. Theres nothing left to "farm" in the meantime. Unless theres something to compete over, you won't see any pop, or any pvp on this server. People are ready for a legit EQ pvp box with kunark, which is why the day devnoob announced Kunark their population tripled (though no one will admit it). Like I suggested when plane of fear came out, content (planes) needed to be expedited or the non-raiders would lose interest on a low pop server... and they did. Flash-forward the removal of legacy items (the last non-planar contested content -
pve/pixels), half the server pop left in a matter of days.
Beyond that, the problems that took more population than bugs (in my post above) would likely still exist if the same crowd decided to leave LoZ and play on the r99 do-over server. I just don't see its plausibility, even
IF (
big if) we had staff present and devoted to helping R99, which we don't...
