I don't understand what all of this debating is all for. I'm just happy to have something like Project 1999. Granted I'm somewhat new here, but the sheer existence of this server is letting me relive something that I never thought that I would ever get to.

I don't think wiping, item loot, variance, etc will "save" this server. Project 1999's biggest problem is that it has no marketing/advertising. I only found out about this from seeing a post about it while watching Youtube vids of EQ1 raids. It was completely on accident that I stumbled upon this gem.

The pop is so low, because no one knows it exists. Who would ever think that an emulator server like this would even exist. While some of these topics that are being mentioned here, I wold not want to happen, I do not think that any of them would have such drastic measures on the server's population that would bring in a lot more people. In fact, I think that certain things will only draw more people away.

a lot of people know that it exists

it had 700 people on launch day, which dwindled down to 100-150 within a month because of how awful the server management was

the server is shit because it's run by rogean

that's all there is to it

700 out of millions of people that play mmo's is not sufficient. No one that I know, knows that this exists, until I told them about it.

If you enjoy playing solo EQ just enjoying the nostalgic feeling of it - you'll have fun here for awhile.

If you're new though you should probably just keep your mouth shut and eyes/ears open till you've been around awhile - that's just IMO, you can make big statements with no perspective also though, a lot of people do it here.

I would argue 32,000 people aught to know about it but I wager the number is closer to an actual 1000.

Very speculative.

And people come back. Its just that the end game has very light interest now.

I started playing here months ago, but then when DF2 came out, my wife wanted to play that instead. I did for a while, but found myself wanting to come back here. DF2 just felt like it was lacking something compared to the old one.

I usually only play when she is around to play, but I have soloed. Its nothing like how it was compared to the VZek glory days obviously. As far as being new here, I got the gist of it pretty quickly as to how the server is run. Its hard to figure out when its the same 20 people arguing about stuff in the forums. Its not like there is such a huge player base to sort through all of the drama. Also, the shit that is going on here is the same crap you hear about in other forums, so I really don't think I need to keep my mouth shut, when I didn't even complain about anything.

I hate even replying to you because it's pointless - once you've experienced some end game, maybe have a character name and reputation I can have a conversation with you.

All we could do is educate you and this isn't the time - maybe the problem is people don't know about it, you should think of some ways to advertise it.

Key points would be

1 guild that does content

Toxic environment

No groups

Complete shit bags(all of the good people not in Nihilum have quit for the most part)

Broken resists/spells such as Highsun/earth pets/ fire cold landing abnormally high

No community

Etc etc, there's so much here that you can't possibly understand - you might have read about it though, so that makes you an expert.

I will donate to some advertising, for those of you who worship social media, you should post a link to the website on facebook
