Well no shit the zones are dead. There are probably an average of 5 people per zone now, any idiot could have seen that happening. I like the change, I feel it wasn't the right time though. The population should have been a bit bigger in my opinion, but, what can ya do? The only thing this change does, is makes the game slower, but isn't that what made it great? The fact that you struggled to do things at times, but ultimately you prevailed.

I agree. I voted no on the poll, waiting for 1000+ population. But the choice was made to remove it. I'm not here to oppose the people who run this server. It's all in our attitude. I'm here to enjoy this game. I'm going to do everything I can to give it a good shot. I'm not going to throw my dreams away over this. I think people have to be stronger than that. I'm not going to make this a self-fulfilling prophecy. Yes, I felt that the population was too low, but I'm not going to let that stop me from enjoying this game. I'm a fighter.

One thing I can say for sure is, yesterday was my first day w/o global chat. The run from qeynos to ec was a LOT faster than I remember it being. Ya, I had sow, but it still seemed a lot easier than it should have been. It felt anti-anticlimactic. When I arrived at ec, there were only 45 people. Right then I knew that, combined with the quieter /ooc, this is going to take some time to get used to. I got a nice item for cheap. I think people are selling low to compensate for everything, but if you sell too low, it's anti-climactic and defeats the purpose of playing. I know that for me, I don't want it to be easy. I appreciate help from high levels, but not too much. Maybe it's because I'm an old player and know my way around and like to do it myself. For a new player that doesn't know what I know, they appreciate the help a lot more than I do.

I guess, spread the love around. A lot people are going to need it!
