Didn't read thread, plus I have Krazy on ignore...

but the guy that spend more time than anyone in server history griefing rag wearing/naked newbies off the server in unrest with his epic fungi rogue twink is complaining about server pop?

The ironing is delicious. Krazy you should know Tune was just saying there's a real lack of level 52's on the 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.
I agree no server will ever match the population Red99 initially pulled. The system shock from the xp loss days put away 1k people for life.

Guards not working and blue players realizing they were not going to get a leg up is what did in pop early. The fat got trimmed quickly back then and pop would never have been anywhere near 1k even with a perfect launch and pvp balance.

This guy is smoking crack

Guards not working didnt help but it was the gank trains coupled with XP loss that killed the fun and pop.

Pop peaked at 50 and then Rogean turned off xp loss in pvp, server slowly got pop back after that. Then another huge boost when group xp was patched in. Its clear to me that if these measures would have got in early, then the pop would have grown from that point in time (hundreds of players instead of 50 peak). I cant know for sure but I dont see any reason why a non-shitty Red server wouldnt have attracted more peeps with positive word of mouth instead of the bad press it got.

It was boring as fuck to play before xp loss nerf. People did not stop to smell the flowers (PVP) since recuperating xp took a chunk of time and if you werent crewed with the gank trains what was the point of trying if the only thing that was in it for you was more PVE grind.

Just allow people to start at level 60 with all spells and mid tier raid gear, population will surge to record levels for 2 months until everyone abandons the server.
