Tired of playing a dead server

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.

Yea this is a valid point. I don't understand why they didn't go with item loot out the gate... I know that I read that nilbog is an ex rallos zek player, so I assume that he supports it. It would have cut down on fungi twinks quite a bit if they had the potential to lose it. The item loot dynamic worked well on Rallos all the way up until LDoN added the ability to make every piece of gear no drop by adding augments.

Adding level restrictions to epics definitely helped, but it wasn't enough on its own.

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.

This is also true, but I feel like it's a moot point. The biggest problem is that the most die-hard of players here don't give a damn about anyone else playing. Just as we saw with Nihilum, there'd be 30-50 players logging in for raids even if there was literally nobody else left on the server. There's something very wrong with that mentality.

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

Lol yeah, it's not going to be good when Rogean finally pulls the plug, that's for sure.

I can't say I agree with the second part though. It's not really a waste of time if you're still enjoying the game. When I play through and beat any single player game, after I'm done and move on I don't think back with regret about how I wasted all that time on something I'm done with, I look back and think, damn, that was fun while it lasted.

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

Which is funny, cuz if one of your little "redpal buttbuddies" who's played and quit the server 10 times over came back, you'd regear him in full BIS droppables for turn number 11.

Eh, there are some genuinely cool people playing here. We are all here to re-live classic EQ after all. Unfortunately the cool, normal players end up getting mixed in with the spiteful, dysfunctional nerds because there's only so many people to play with when you have such a low population.

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.

No you cannot have my shit sorry. Don't care about blue server or what you did there.

Do have to agree with this statement somewhat...although we did take in a lot of WoW babies who wanted to give EQ a shot...

Yeah angry like Emumu or Ordaga or whoever it was that lost his shit on voice when i posted on forums that xp loss in pvp should go because its bad for the server (but good for the guild i was in, Nihilum)
