Longing for the Old Days of P1999, Yet Grateful for the Journey

Your answer hinges on the server’s owner valuing player enjoyment. Why do you assume they value player enjoyment so highly? They are not a player. This is not a commercial server. If anything players are a cost not of value.

What would be the point of opening a NON-COMMERCIAL server, as you said yourself, if you don’t actually care whether people join, play, and enjoy it? Now that’s a good one…

IzHaN80 is like the only person that didn't get this memo like a decade+ ago

Of course, they didn’t open a server just for their own personal amusement without caring about the players. That’s exactly why rules exist in the first place — to prevent conflicts and keep the server healthy. If they truly didn’t care, the easier approach would be to just ban or kick people and move on, don’t you think? That wouldn’t make much sense.

And I also notice there’s no response to my latest posts on this subject. To me, that’s a clear sign I struck the real issue. Nothing further to add.

Dude, you don’t get to tell me where to play. Try learning to read first, unless skipping school was your main achievement.

Seriously, I think you should give school another try, reading comprehension clearly isn’t your strong suit. xD

They've mentionned a number of times in no uncertain terms they wanted to recreate classic EQ as much as possible and if you don't like it that's not their problem. They've degraded QOL for inconsequential stuff before for the sake of making things classic (like velium block chiseling) so I don't see them doing a 180 on this to make the server more popular.

Seriously.

Go

In
Traffic.

as Duik's lawyer i'd like to point out the "Traffic" he's referring to here is traffic in the game frogger, a video game my client is passionate about and he seriously thinks the other user should go play it

Why would the server shut down just because it is empty?

None of the P99 servers will ever be empty. The addiction will keep people here for decaades to come.

Because Nilbog and Rogean literally do this because they want to make an accurate representation of EQ in the era they've chosen. They don't care how many people play. Never have.

You don't get it.
