Why don't more people play here?

Because Everquest is a complete shit game and we only really play for nostalgia? Once that is done you quit.

Most I talk to say that most of the community & end game is a total shit-show. From what I've witnessed... I'm forced to agree with them now.

I fixed that for you.

Back in 1999, sure. Not anymore sir.

I'll tell you why my friends don't play (that played EQ with me back in the day)

1) Doesn't play games at all now. He thinks they're a waste of time

2) Is bored with the content. He played here at one time. He laughs that it's still in Kunark.

3) Attention span of a gnat. He played here, then he started another game - then another, then another.

4) Wants to start, but hates that the server has been around for so long and that he'd be 'so far behind' and 'relying on my charity'

5) (not an original Eq'er) - Played here until level 51. Leveling was so slow and repetitive they called it quits.

Just going to point out that 2000 people on a single server on all at the same time is a decent population. Remember back in the day EQ had DOZENS of servers with 2-3000 people on at a time. That is how they had so many subscribers.

Take my exemple, I've played a lot of mmos in the past 15 years (EQ1 was my first one), lately I was bored on WoW and was looking to play something else.

Then I heard about the Ragefire hype, and how a lot of old EQ players are coming back (had no idea TLP servers exist before). So I did launch a twitch stream to see how it is and if I want to play it, and the answer was no. (I really dislike multiboxing)

But while I was on this stream I saw some people in the chat saying how p99 was much better than TLP servers (no multibox allowed, more classic), so I did inquiry about it and here I am playing here for almost 2 months now, enjoying it a lot.

So yeah I am sure a ton of old EQ players have no idea.

If P99 opened two new servers one for PvE and one for PvP Teams as "Beta/population test/trial" servers it would potentially generate significant interest. If you couple that with the new interest generated from daybreak, add some incentiviced forumquest, anything is possible.

Dare to dream.

I agree with this. Perhaps opening additional servers will invite those players that don't want to start here because they feel like they are so "behind". After farming 4 years of kunark, they may have a point
