Catering to the majority is what keeps a game and server alive in the long run, not the other way around. And no, it has absolutely zero to do with "socialism", you'll have to do better than that.

Uses the words “catering to the majority” while requesting the staff set up an AFK bazaar/auction house to make buying and selling easier for the minority (EU players). Lol

Anyway here’s some advice: most people don’t spend their time buying and selling in the EC tunnel if they don’t want to. You can post on the forums and in discord that you have stuff to buy or sell and usually find people to do a transaction with.

The main point of the entire thread being the time-limited items, though.

But making it less of a pain for non-US time-zone players, especially newer ones, to do some early trading would help them stick around more often. That was the point of that remark, feel free to suggest other things that could help the P99 servers in a healthy direction for all of us.

I mean there's no issue with players sticking around though? The only reason we have less than 1k per server is because we have two servers. If you merged them the servers would have pretty close to the average population that was on most servers during the Kunark and Velious era (maybe like 300 less or so but not significant).

So there's nothing that needs to be done from a population health perspective for P99.

With a healthy direction I didn't just mean population-wise.

But there's always something to be done from a population aspect, as when the bulk of those players reach max. level and some of them eventually grow tired for whatever reason, the servers will always need fresh players to keep the grouping options open throughout the leveling range.

And perhaps 1.5-2k would be a healthier number for both servers, also making it much more possible and viable to actually fire up a third server.

What third server? They’re merging green and blue if they ever do green 2.0
