Please do not release Kunark, Open Letter to Nilbog.

[EQtrader]

To whom it may concern:


I am writing this letter in regards to the recent posting of the release of Kunark on the red server. I want to sincerely show my frustration at this move for the server. The server population is just way to low. I have been a faithfully pvper here at red99 since the release. My main problem I have noticed is the location of people to PvP against. I bounce zone to zone and sometimes I cant even find anyone and just log off because I feel like I have been grieved off because I start to feel like a loser still playing this server with no one to play against or with. Now if you release Kunark, You add in tons of more zones that are four times the size of everquest classic. I also can tell you that PvP with Kunark released is going to make this problem ten times worse. At this point I will question my relevance with wanting to play this server at all. I seek no benefits of enjoyment based on these stipulations.

Chapter 2.

In this dicussion I would like to discuss the problem with the level of difficulty due to Kunark over the Everquest Classic Experience. In the Everquest classic experience, you can attempt to solo in Dungeons like Guk and perhaps even SolB. Without two boxing enabled there is just no way in a cow shit free pasture that Everquest Project 199 Red PvP players are going to be able to solo dungeons like Sebilis, Karnors, Howling Stones, and Droga just to name a few. Do you honestly think that the low population sub 100 is really stable enough and wide in diversity enough to support a whole new continent. Now I love Kunark like the next person but I know as well as the next person the way Red99 plays out and I can tell you that the population is just not there yet.

Chapter 3.

I really think that the release of Kunark is just getting pushed out because you seen a slight population increase as in 10-15 people now playing on the server. Yellow Text and no hot zones are going to demolish the sight of seeing anyone. You can hop on the blue server and I can tell you even in some zones you find two to 3 people and that’s with 500 people playing. With 60-65 at primetime you’re going to get dead zones. A LOT, of dead zones. Very minimum people are going to be in Classic Zones at all. I really feel raiding guilds, including mine (Nihilum), have trolled the GM's into believing that the only way to breathe life into this server is by releasing Kunark. This is totally false. Not all in the guild feel like this is a good idea. You can compare this to let’s say a game of call of duty and battlefield 3 released by EA games. Let’s say you take a total of 12 people in one call of duty game. Now let’s put them in a normal Call of duty game and you’re going to have decent spread of players with action in all areas or most of the game. Now let’s take those same 12 players and put them in a Battlefield 3 let’s say big map. It’s going to be devastating and boring and thus will only hurt the population and cause people looking for action to disarray and leave the game in frustration.

Conclusion:

Now I would like to end this in a plea and ask for Nilbog and other Everquest lore officials to please don’t be pressured into this mistake. You will see a failed server even worse then what you have now. Perhaps no longer a game of Everquest which currently with the big eq classic world into a truly a game of Solo-Quest. A plea that you will make the right choice and denounce this release. Do the right thing not only for your appetite to feed these meaningless PvPers and stay the course of a true Everquest Classic Server. One that promotes the population for me and you a better tomorrow for the future of Norrath for all PvPers to truly enjoy a game blessed by Tunare and the likes of Bristlebane. Please Nilbog do not release this expansion just yet. The server is not Ready. Please Nilbog do not release this expansion just yet. The server is just not ready.
