My biggest issue is the fact that the population continues to go down. I can handle all the other issues. Its extremely hard to put in time on a server that looks to be vacant in a few months.

The lack of GM communication was terrible after the first month and before a month ago. The biggest update was a post from Rogean on page like 50 of 100+ in rants in flames(That took months for them to follow through on). I'll admit that the communication lately has been better(or at least more).
It could also be the fact that your guild leader is an openly racist idiot. Maybe that's why your guild didn't thrive. Just a thought.

Do not give opinions on things you do not understand. The decline in population is hardly exclusive to my guild only.

My opinion was exclusive to your guild. I've given my opinion on why the server's population more generally has declined, but in this case there's the intervening variable of your guild leader being a racist loudmouth that might have caused many of your guildies to be less enthusiastic about the server.

I should also point out that about a dozen different people have given different reasons for why they quit, why the server was a "failure", etc. You can't all be right at once you know.

i am certain that my guild who largely hold the same opinions i do on a majority of topics, most of whom i have known/played with for well over 8 years and all of whom remain firmly in said guild while we all await something worth playing on our private boards gathered in secret and said "man this eq server is great but that damn evil racist darwoth does not like black folks so now we have to quit, dang" not because of the myriad of server related issues.

in other news i hear "spear of the nation" is doing well.

I wish darwoth would post more because everything he says is right on the money, can we just put this guy in charge of the server?

Well your guild (admittedly) has two players left, if I hadn't disbanded Spear it would certainly have more than 2. But in any case this isn't about my former guild. Unless of course you were referring to the South African organization of the same name, in which case it did very well and was dismantled as part of South Africa's transition to democracy.

erm, our guild is not a project 99 guild with an empty guildportal website, it is a real one that has played a dozen+ games with the same group of people (16 active members atm, most of which started here and later quit due to the litany of reasons already mentioned) and has seen myself and our oldest members gaming together since we were in our mid/late teens, i think just our guild name is 7 or more years old now come to think of it.

anyhow, so yeah your a retard as per the norm.
