Still lacking a 1-50 community etc.

i started during the 200 population resurgence, actually met people in the newbie yards, crushbone, saw multiple people camping the lfay sisters for spell cash. i.e. legit new people.

i have no idea what for certain drew all of us to start during that small window. i have a theory though.. for me, personally, i had been following pantheon, and brad's involvement with p99, all the talk of classic eq etc drew me into reinstalling after several years away. a few other nubs i spoke with mentioned the same thing. saw some p99 press elsewhere and installed.

while i cant say for certain that the press pantheon provided created a population surge, i do know for certain what killed it, and why 99% of the above mentioned nubs stopped logging in.

its ironic, because those ppl were the usual crowd i grouped with in mistmoore or unrest, the very low level community that nerf was supposed to bring killed it.

The GMs seem to be getting pretty tired of our bullshit. We really should try to treat them better... what will happen when they don't feel like putting up with us anymore, and we end up with someone worse?

Or no one at all...

When we're told to fuck off after they destroyed the population mostly players helped build (with help from player led ideas/changes) it's hard to feel bad for them.

Thank god this is free though, and they can just walk the fuck away for months like they're about to do am I right.

The gm's believed no one cared about their accounts because levelling was TOO fast.

They are in touch.

Do you even have the capacity for empathy? :P

But seriously, it's not like the game is any harder now that xp has been slowed down to a more reasonable level. The only reason people quit is because they convinced themselves (or other players convinced them...) that this was a dealbreaker. The people playing could have enjoyed the game exactly as they were before the xp adjustment, but decided not to because they don't understand the concept of delayed gratification.

It's gonna be super hard getting rid of you, Stasis. Part of the reason for this is because you've invested so much time into your characters. And in doing so, you built relationships with other players that you like to spend time with (presumably other sadists). That's a big part of what this change has been about.

Now we're waiting for the devs to implement the other pieces to their master plan. It's not the GMs we're waiting for, and it's not the GMs we should be mad with. Not that we should be upset with the devs either, but you understand what I mean... patience is a virtue and all that.

The whole tears over classic eq are a bit lulzy. The issue here has always been finding people to group with, not the exp rate. Unfortunately to get more people to play with something drastic needs to happen here to create a new wave of players. What might be the catalyst for that wave is up for debate.
