I would venture to bet maybe half of all fungi tunics that have dropped are sitting inactive on accounts/chars.

Maybe before derubael was on staff.

Fungi tunic isn't TOO hard to get, once you are 60 and you put effort into it you can get it done. Like OP for example, I think pre invis/calm pull nerf he farmed fungi tunics every day for months. When certain people say or said they have like 20 or 30 fungi tunics, or 100 diamonds blue diamonds, It is easy to believe.

It's pretty sad to think about. I've been logging on my 40's toon almost every day for a month now and have found about 2 groups that lasted roughly an hour each. The population doesn't support anything but end-game any more.

If more people that quit the game were to hand out items like Krazy it'd probably inspire more new players to see the game through to 60. Personally I'd keep trucking along if I had a fungi to wear during all of those times there were no groups to be found. Because as it is when it comes down to it, I can find far more enjoyable single-player games to spend time on rather than trying to play single-player classic EQ in rags.

I'm trying REALLY hard to enjoy the server because I love classic EQ and I love PVP, but this 100-player pop isn't making it easy.

lol nobody is giving you a fungus, least of all Krazy who isn't giving away jack shit.

I blame no item loot and xp loss in pvp

Its unfortunate the ball was dropped but devs arent omniscient either, had Holocaust, Nihilum, Andis, working them so that they thought xp loss in pvp was needed. Holocaust would explicitely say they were using xp loss to grief people off the server, we saw the pop drop from 600 to double digits in a few months though so theres really no excuse. Same thing with PVE, once Nihilum took over, we told em xp loss was making one side practically invincible because of their numbers and they just laughed at people like "This isnt CoD".

They thought people couldnt take item loot and instead what we got was the everpresent, unlootable fungi twink.

I dont see any new server generating the kind of interest that red did in 2011 so GG.

killing blue xfers was the final nail in the coffin. even though maybe 1% of blue players actually made it to 60 and endgame before quitting like little fay gate babies, they were bodies to fill groups for legitimately immersed new red players.

That's my point - thanks for reiterating what I literally just said, I suppose?

Why are you even still posting here Kergan? I remember you legitimately playing for a few months with Nihilum, when the server pop was at an all time low - have you even logged on and played in any serious capacity since then?

I'm not sure why it's such an absurd notion. Somehow I don't see the value in hoarding items on an emulation of a 17 year old game. Any chance this server had of seeing new blood is essentially gone. When I stopped playing on blue to come here I gave away over 300k in items that I was no longer going to need and you can be damn sure I'll give away whatever I have on red when I hang up the towel here too. Different strokes, I guess.

I foresee a couple of mace incidents when some of the folks who clocked 5-10,000 hours + here realize this

Im not giving away my fungi personally cuz i dont want to be responsible for more people wasting time here, lots of the community waiting for them at end game is toxic as fuck
