Why have you quit?

[wut]

Just taking an honest approach to it... When EQ came out in 99' I'm assuming the majority of current players were in their teen years, where there was an abundance of time to pour into character(s). Flash forward 13 years later, a lot of us (presumably), although I'm speaking for myself, don't have the same time to put into leveling and character development. Whether job or family, some of us can't sit for hours grinding it out. I LOVED eq pvp (from Rallos), and from when I played in beta it seemed like the server would be a hit...and yes...before insta-50/good items.

A few friends and myself started playing on live but just found we didn't have the time to put in like we had intended. Obviously it shouldn't be a cakewalk to 50 but I found people struggling to put balanced groups together with the abundance of solo classes, and those who were soloing were putting in some serious time to make it happen.

People come to p99red to just have fun and play EQ in the chaotic way that it was when it came out. Keeping in mind all services rendered are free, a lot of the bitches and gripes are pretty trivial and I think most people can put up with things that aren't being addressed immediately. I feel the exp rate could be increased and would definitely attract me (and others) back into putting some time in.


TLDR; I feel a good majority of players just don't have the time to grind it out like they did back in the day. Possible increase in EXP rate

this, the exp boost did little to help in the levels it is needed most 40+. those are the most painful levels to grind as a melee where you basically must group, but because the pop is so low it is hard to get a group together. couple that with the fact that you're prolly stuck grouping with all the other melees, many of them big troll shadowknights, you're now getting huge hybrid penalties on your exp and killing 8-10 blue mobs before seeing your exp bar move even once.

before 100x people say omg not truez, I have spent the last six hours in a bat PL group clearing literally every mob from sol b ent to bat 2 and have gotten 2 yellows of EXP in 49 on a warrior. god help us when 51-60 come out

You're being fed lies, bro. Bladestopper still on Keto, I still have Treasure Hunter's Satchel, and gauntlets got traded to Natural, so they are probably in dat RMT land.

Lol ya I never got contacted about my gauntlets and had em forever after the announcement was said they were going to be removed. They're on Natural's banned account unfortunately for me, but doesn't matter because Diablo 3 will be out soon and will be kick ass.

No crying intended, just trying to let people know why some of us choose not to play due to time constraints...although with 2,900 posts I don't see you understanding some people's lack of "commitment".

Maybe you should post daily for months about how bad classic EQ exp is on a classic EQ server because you cant handle it.

so if i understand most you; most of you do not actually enjoy playing EverQuest. instead you would prefer to be given a lvl 50 character with uber gear and spend all day running around fragging each other. im sorry, but thats not EQ.

Sirken's post is a good example of the real problems that have doomed the server. Instead of actually trying to address player concerns or seeing why the population has dwindled he hand waves it all away and posts a bullshit strawman argument.

38% of the votes are due to GM issues (communication^^^ lololo + shortage of quality gms). 50% are due to the dwindling population + communication issues (global ooc/features + population topics).

Despite this, the poll results are ignored and the populace is called a bunch of collective pussies rather than dealing with the real issues.

Keep up the good communication GMs(+1 vote for that reason).
