Yeah, there was a big part of the community that was bent on hurf durfing people off the server. Was it a good idea to implement a ruleset that played right into their hands? I dont think so. Its easy to lay the blame on the griefers but the problems that would arise from the ruleset was pointed early in the box's life. They chose to have the server ruleset set in stone so the end result was a combination of excessive griefing and dev decisions.

I think the rampant complaining by the players hurt the population more than the ruleset ever could have. I leveled to 50 without xp increase and very, very slight xp loss without issue, back when people still played.
But people complained about the xp loss (which really was not an issue, it didn't affect me at all), xp rate, no item loot, no teams, other players and everything else. When sirken said that we act as though we're entitled to things, he was telling the truth. People complained so hard that they got an xp increase, and now people are still complaining. No one could just play the game, they wanted to play a game that they themselves designed. We had a perfectly good server, and I really enjoyed myself, even with people griefing. But something was an issue for most everyone, and that's what brought the population down.
