This.

I played/play on blue and attempted to play on red99 when it was released. While I understand that complaining about exp translates into being weak or some bullshit like that, the above statement perfectly explains why I didn't continue to play on the server. I know some of you basement dwellers have disposable time, most of us just don't. I'd love to compete for pixels at dragons but I just can't invest the same amount of time as the high end players and I'm betting a lot of other players can't either.

I'm a full time student and when red99 was released I had very little time to spare. It just meant that it took longer for me to get to level 50. The game is still fun before you're level 50.

Maybe for you it is...but you're missing the point.

You and the other 30 people that play on this server are a small percentage (if any) of todays gamer. What you find fun, one million other players don't. Add that with the other issues I pointed out and you get a dead server.

EDIT: to be honest, I can't really think of any major changes (exp,content.etc) that would increase the population to acceptable numbers (not even sure what you guys would like for population) There's a good chance EQ is finally dying off.

The vast majority of people who played eq live back in the day never made it to level 50. Most of these people were clueless newbs who, either because of school, work, or having shitty dial up internet, didn't have the time to invest to make it to raid level. And that's fine! This is a game where you're supposed to make your own fun. If the emu pvp community can only derive fun out of the game once they hit level 50, that's their fault, not nilbog's, and I fail to see why anything should be changed to suit them. I know this sounds like victim-blaming but it's not. The pvp community is its own worst enemy.

I agree, not that I think you should change anything to suit them, I just don't think there's anything that you can change that will bring people to the server.

If you want population to increase you would have to follow what current MMO's are doing.

If you want a niche game that almost no one will play, then you can't complaining about server population without looking fucking retarded.
