Why don't more people play here?

Getting everything installed is a pain, having to jump through all those hoops to get started probably loses us quite a few people.

Add to that there's some people out there who think the only method to get the right version is to pay $100 or whatever on Amazon... not many want to pay it I'm sure.

Honestly if we had a deal with Dey break Games and could put a link up to download from here with an installer that would set everything up with the current patch in one click... we'd probably have 4000-5000 here.

I forgot to mention this, good point. It's been years since I've set up P99, but I do remember it being a little bit of a pain. You're right, a 1 click set-up making it easier to start here may increase the pop quite a bit.

It's hard to believe that people "growing up" prevents them from playing here. I've got a full time job, a wife, and 2 kids and I still find time to play.

This Emu actually has a huge base, but the main factor is ... Time.

Most people don't have the time to play EQ in the way that EQ requires you to. I haven't played in nearly 8 months and I wish all the time that I could. I'm relegated to reading the forums once in a while. I have at least 5 friends IRL who played classic EQ and know of this server that would all like to play, but there is no way they can commit to such a massive time sink (specifically at 50 plus).

That sums it up pretty much. Some people are lazy and/or not computer savvy. So they have trouble finding the titanium edition. Some are funny about downloading content to their PC from a pirated site. I know I wasn't real comfortable myself. Didn't want to get a virus/spyware.

I disagree. I had NO issues installing it on my desktop and laptop.

You have to create...umm 2 or 3 accounts. Again, easy.

Paying for the 'right' version is expensive and I can't disagree with you.

As for 'deal with Dey stupid ass break'. No...hell no. Don't deal with the devil.
