PvP Server population

[jilena]

So as someone who has just recently gotten around to starting out on the red server, I am curious if everyone is happy with the current population and feels that it can/will sustain itself?

I am playing a necro this round so I am not really having a hard time killing mobs to gain experience, but it's fucking desolate in terms of low level players. I have seen so far 1 person I could have grouped with reasonably.

This seems like it would be a massive deterrent for new players starting out, especially not playing solo friendly classes. If no new players, won't the server die off pretty quick? I'm assuming that eventually those on top will get bored with farming more ph4tz and move on.

You are 100% correct about everything. Sadly.

I see lots of random people around and I'm level 17. Serverwide OOC would help a lot with things like this and encourage new ppl starting out who don't know anyone.

Lot of new people since the exp bonus was put in - I run into lowbies everywhere heh, shit ran into two people doing bandits lvl 16 grpd a bit - met up with others at najena been all over.

I think it's getting more popular and seems very active atm.

I'm planning on doing some lowbie buff days once I get a few more levels on my druid to encourage new players to start up, not sure how much impact it will have though.

i'm level 19 and have had people to group with + tons of pvp every day. it gets a lot better once you leave the newbie zones.

it should also be noted that the half dozen retards whining about the server on the forums 24/7 don't even play here.

just play for a week or two and see if you like it.

No and no.

My install started giving errors and I'm just not motivated enough to reinstall. Hope it all works out, tho.

Peace, love, and chicken grease.

Welcome to red99! I just came back as well. The population really sucks I know. My class is so group oriented but i still find groups. Here is my suggesstion:

Dont /anon at low level... that is how I find group members

Find people in your level range and send them a tell... get on each others friend list

For the "twinks" take a break from PvP, if you find a lowbie... try grouping with them before you try to kill them. There is time for PvP later, right now, we need to encourage population growth...

Just my thoughts do with them as you please.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

With the new xp curve, you should be able to level pretty fast and find at least a few people to play w/.

I rolled a halfling and saw not one person that whole night

I was never to be seen again on r99
