How To Boost Server Pop

[pgerman]

boxing would do nothing to get more people playing here, neckbeards would just have more buffs to kill people in raw hide

That's an opinion, not a fact. Let's test it in the name of science and see.

Arguments I've seen so far against boxing:

- Less Groups

Less than what? The zero low level groups going on right now? So we're going to have a negative number?

- Super twinked buffed characters

1) Isn't having people with porter bots and buff bots to help them pvp good for the server since it means more roaming PVPers PVPing on a PVP server?

2) Aren't the noobs fucked as it is with the fungi epic rogue twinks and deleveled epic warriors? You think that 400 HP from heroism on the warrior in VP Gear and Epic vs people in raw hide is what's going to be the difference maker? Rly?


- People will 3 box or 4 box

As opposed to the people doing this already?

a trial run to boost red pop just like it boosted blue pop at start of the project can do nothing but HELP

there are no negatives

I vote yes to trial.

Thanks.

Honestly what is the worst possible thing that happens from even a 2 week trial? There is literally ZERO potential of permanent damage from a 2 week trial, fuck even a 1 week trial. If it's pandemonium across Norrath then ok, I'll come out and be the first to admit it failed.

1) Stop screwing people over and U might have more friends to port and pvp with.

2)HB 400 HPs, Symbol 700 HPs, Rune 700 HPs, Talisman+Sta 400+ HPs.
=2200+HPs

3)You have just made farming HS+Seb+many other places trivial.

lol wut? Im in holocaust in a TS full of pals with people who can port me on a moments notice. I pvp daily. I'm sorry you don't like me because I didn't want to give you my elder spirit BP you planned on giving to a guy spamming pics of my family on the forums, I guess you can file a petition with your local civil court.

cool 2200 HP's [less because you can't do marzin on lowbies nor the highest talisman], again, is actually pretty irrelevant when you're an epic fungi rogue one shotting casters in Apprentice Robe's*. And to be honest, the twinks who are devoted enough to grief newbs already have their pals buffing them to begin with. But it doesn't really matter, because there are hardly any newbs to kill to begin with.

Heartbrand why are you pretending you really give a shit about newbies? No ones believes it so why not just drop the pretenses? You want to box BECAUSE you have those 8 BiS characters and you cannot legally use more than one at a time.

If everyone would quit treating each other like shit because they allow this to become more than a game to them, we wouldn't have a lot of problems and boxing would be irrelevant. When you get killed, laugh about it and forget it. When you kill someone, act like an adult and not like it proved anything. Even little children shake hands and move on after a pee-wee football or teeball game.

There is nothing that could be more helpful than maturity, sportsmanship, civility, or any other synonym for us not acting like animals.

In this post this guy pretends to be some Saint Timothy of Elf Sim while basically ascribing bad intentions to myself with no basis or proof.

P.S., I have no idea who you are nor have I seen you in game. I've PL'ed more newbs, given away more loot [even if it was someone elses b4 hehehehhe] than prolly just about every other person on his server. I know exactly what it's like to be a newb here, but you don't need to take my word for it, go read the thread on blue chat about red. The consensus falls within two camps:

1) Too many griefers

2) No one to play with


Thanks though for your long winded and rather pointless post.

I also love the "make moar friends" argument people put forward. As if there's a plethora of level 1 support classes waiting to role play with you and be your friend on 50 person day time pop box.
