Then you need to stop accepting new members. It's pretty simple.

I know you guys would never split Holo up since it's mostly blue players and it wouldn't benefit their acquisition of pixels in any way, but the least you could do is stop recruiting if you actually want people to contest (you don't though, it's obvious that Holo is being run just like Nihilum was, which isn't surprising considering you have 25-30 former Nihilum members).

where did azrael go? they had no problem raiding the server uncontested with 35 people every week

the idea of a server "ripe with competition" is a farce; literally every single other time there was an opposing force, azrael had open recruitment just the same as holocaust did

the only reason they didn't this time around is because they didn't want to take in new players and gear them out. they just wanted to gear out their small core of players and then stop playing once actual competition came.

it's not holocaust's fault that azrael faded away for the 30th time, which is the REAL reason why there's less pvp than there was before

holocaust is partially responsible for increasing the server population. any server on live with a healthy population had tons of people who weren't interested in counter-strike with elves. that's the only way you're going to have a living server. it's up to you not to burn out and quit because someone didn't play the way you wanted them to.

but, azrael's philosophy on what a "pvp server should be" is entirely destructive and needs to go if we ever want a healthy server.
