But you already knew that, you're just looking for an excuse to stop the discussion and point it to the only thing you're interested in: more content to the detriment of the server.

Not.

I have a lot of time invested in this server. I give items and buffs and free PL's to newbs whenever I am sitting around. I enjoy playing EQ just like the rest of the nerds on this forum.

I care about the server and its longevity.

I just don't take the same approach as the rest of the crybabies. I don't think that bitching at the devs and flooding the forum with "This server is dead" is the right solution.

Its not dead. It's dieing. When more people leave than join or stay... that is a negative outcome, and when that continues... it will go to 0 unless something is done. What that something is is up for debate, but we all know that nothing will be done, so... Whatev.

well crying and making 10 new boohoo threads a day is not the solution, that deters people...

exp, if boosted, has the potential to increase pop, its not a guarenteed outcome.

This is Everquest: its a small niche of MMO gamers, people come here knowing its a grind...
This is Everquest PvP: its an even smaller niche of EQ gaming, people come knowing the population will be lower...

Saying the grind is the cause of low pop is retarded.

If this was true, the 150 people that were here first week would still be here. Or even the 80 that were here the month after. Or the 60 after another 2 months. Or the 50 3 months later. Or the 40 that are on right now.

Numbers don't lie, no matter how you try to rationalize them.

All I am saying is that there is a slow yet noticeable decline in population numbers.

Whatever you think the cause is, is moot. The decline in numbers will not stop unless something is done.

But no one that matters, cares. So, Whatev.

yea the numbers of a dwindling population is 100% related to exp, not any other outside causes like new games, betas, finals, and summer vacations.

the numbers dont lie, lowering population is scientifically and statistically related to exp, how did i miss it?

I think this thread got way off track... and that's because the idea of more content at this point IS LUDICROUS.

The simple fact that the general population of Red 99 is disgruntled is 50% because they are angst-filled people, and 50% because the server (as the poster above said) is not dead but slowly dying.

THAT IS TRUE.

I understand the devs have been absent and busy with Velious on Blue and RL, and D3 lol. But I think this server is hitting a tipping point... and that no bullshit discussions are needed between several players and the dev... on mumble/vent/whatever dorky voice chat software is used.

What if each major guild (lol at this point that means you have >10 active players) sent two guild members to a chat between devs/players? (No not some dorky LotR thing... please nobody respond "you have my axe!")

Dialogue about how to "bind wound" on this server is needed. We are below 50% health... and are slowly getting beat down... someone help!

I really want this server to turn around and instead of slowly dying, start slowly thriving. Imagine 100ppl level 50, 50 people levels 20-40, and 20 people level 1-20 leveling/pvping/griefing in red harmony... who doesn't want that?

We have all brainstormed enough as players, we need to start getting the devs involved in friendly discussion. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
