Does anyone remember early Blue? I remember.

Running a server with peak over 2000 real time players is quite the task. Pleasing everyone is impossible. Learning from mistakes is the sign of maturity.

Players vote with their feet. Right now Quarm is doing amazing. The ebbs and flows will be real. Again doesn't anyone remember early Blue?

Oh I do, I remember VERY early blue when we had global /ooc because the pop was only about 200 and they were getting ddos'ed into oblivion for like a month straight. Seemed real loosey goosey and I was skeptical of continuing to play because I didn't think they'd make it through those early months.

I don't mean to give Quarm a hard time, I'm just a p99 loyalist because I still consider luclin to be the beginning of the end of everything I loved about the game. But I still appreciate the efforts anyone is willing to put in to make some form of the game available to play for free to people.

Spawning items that don't even exist in-game yet just sets off red flags for me, but again early p99 was pretty dodgy for a while too.

It's a slippery slope to nerd tyranny in elf land is all.

Also wrt people voting with their feet: I think many of the people currently on quarm are there to get legacy drops while they still can. AKA these people *would* be playing on a fresh p99 server, were there one. I'm not sure it's a fondness for planes of power as much as a horniness for fresh vanilla. Which I admit I'm pretty horny for too.

I do plan on rolling in late velious though if they're still chugging just to check out some post-velious stuff. Even though I didn't like it I still played it when it originally came out so I have some nostalgia for that stuff.
