Server going to hell

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

I would highly doubt this server would "die." mmorpg's die because the designers and the company have no idea how to manage a gameworld, and have no idea how to manage a sustainable population.

I played SWTOR. I have seen what must of been tens of thousands of man hours... for what? An online single player game. With a zillion servers. And broken and/or totally derivative high end content as an added treat.

p99 has a solid gold mission identity, ONE server (you know what I mean), and a "classic" game that I am guessing, anyone who plays online games will eventually hear about, and wonder, hmm, what was it like?

I would argue this is one of the most stable game worlds (this community) and ideas (the concept behind p99) I see anywhere even close. I would bitch about specific issues, but not "the server is dying."

The only way that would happen is if the ability to "see what this p99 thing is about" became too hard to do, or people stopped hearing about it, or, Everquest disappeared from the memory of classic online games. I just do not see that happening.

My advice?

Figure out how to market retro gaming to the Chinese. It would be funny to see the population number on the home page all of a sudden read, "Project 1999; Status UP; players 4,000,000,000"
