It’s sad the amount of folks comparing the size of their respective shit sandwich when after all, you’re both still eating shit.

Most of us are either in or approaching our 40's, with family responsibilities. Those who don't have family responsibilities at this age most likely have something wrong with them, like drug addiction or incels or whatever.

The hardcore raiding scene is probably going to go down the shitter for a decade or two until our kids are grown up and we start having more free time again, at which point P99 will still be there (most likely).

So I wouldn't worry just yet.

The lower population has been most noticeable in the dearth of new guild creation, especially a distinct lack of new leveling guilds/newbie guilds on Blue of late.

With respect to an above poster, sure we launched with low populations, not much over 100 at first (I ought to know, I was there), but it grew soon enough (and kept on growing) and the old world with ~300 people is a lot different than a Velious world with 300 people. More generally, I'm amazed P99 maintained a stable and large population for as long as it has. It could close up tomorrow and I'd call it a great run. It won't--P99 should be around for a good while yet, even if in a state of gradual decline--so it has to be regarded as a tremendous success. I've played P99 FAR longer than I played original EQ at this point, and like it better.

Gotta disagree with the newbie guild part. <Ex Astra> went from a guild i've never heard of to ALWAYS having more than 20+ people on /who all lists at any part of the night .... in the span of like 3 weeks! lmao
