Number of reasons the server pop is dying off.

Nope!!!!! 1 reason why!!! Because the economy is SOOO bloated that you can easily twink.

Extreme twinking means players don't have any reason to actually hunt for gear or quest outside of raiding (which is super saturated).

When you take out gear / quests from everquest....all you have left is efficient grinding for EXP.

So basically, outside of waiting in lines and poopsocking for raid gear, the only thing to do is sit around on your twinked alt grinding out exp in the same handful of dungeons.

Sure, you "can" get a group and do a rare dungeon for some new adventure....but that involves dragging people out to some random place and doing rebinds and all sorts of BS just for a change of scenery ((usually won't happen)). Oh, and that isn't even counting people logging on their alts to buff their EXP teams to make it even more of a trivial grind.

And the incentive to group is SEVERELY weakened by being so twinked, you can easily just solo a lot of the time.

Basically....the game is boring in god mode :P The reason EQ is so fun over other MMOs was because it is more difficult and you actually NEED each other (outside of raids!).

That is why live servers suck. Because they made it so much easier and you can just go do your thing in your little world grinding out exp.
