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.

How am I to blame? I give new players gifts of 100pp all the time to encourage them to stick around.

The reason the population is low has to do with no new players coming. A new player logs in, sees no one, and logs off.

Yeah, like when I taught a newbie how to play a mage and gave him a Runed Cowl for 200p. Just doing my part.

To be honest, if you're a lowbie, just go /unanon and LFG if you're a class that needs a group to be effective (i.e. any melee). Or just go LFG and encourage others to do so.

I think the majority of people starting out now are just trying to get through the grind as fast as possible (I know that's the case with my <Tallon Zek> pals). Griefing/PvP should be minimal once you get a group.

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.
