Population falling?

I agree with this. From my standpoint, the population seems fine and doesn't hurt my playing experience.

I can't speak about issues regarding how raid mobs are done now, I am no longer a part of that.

I think the only problems we have on the server are from past and present cheating; duping items, hacking, cheating for plats, general gaming-nerd asshattery that is damaging to the servers economy.

Any problems the server has are not due to server population numbers but either bad raid rules, and/or bad players doing bad things to (in their mind) win.

Essentially most of the bad things I see and read about are from the actual players own doings.

Sorry to burst your bubble but hacking was WAY more relevant on live than here. Sitting with Rogean Image and Devnoob all day in IRC about MQ plugins and GUI offsets. Rogean knows anti-cheat better than anyone because of this. The economy doesnt seem that bad to me looking recently in EC tunnel though i have not played blue in years. I will say though GM and Guide's were alot more common on helping ass hats from ruining game. You could petition and it would be answered pretty quickly (not hating on our staff at all though) they do what they can.

Never said hacking was not prevalent on Live. You are talking to someone that played RZ, SZ, then Zek my entire time on Live and hackers ruined PVP on Live.

I stopped playing eq1 due to hacking, it was so common I couldn't fight anyone anymore who didn't hack it seemed. I know Live had hacks big time.

I am just pointing out from my perspective what I see that has harmed or does harm to P99.

I agree hacks aren't very common here not from what I can tell.

My point is, there have been cheating and issues in the past that have blew the economy up on P99 and much of that is from cheating to get pixels whether it was RMT or duping items etc.

The population number isn't what makes P99's troubles, it's the player's behaviors themselves imo.

2k was quite common for popular servers on live, but other expansions opening up helped even the playing field for lvling.

The current pop on blue is about how it was on Rallos zek, maybe a tad bit more on Rallos.

The timeline here is kinda what screwed peoples minds, when velious came out it was like OOOOH AHHH NEW LVLING ZONES WOO

No one likes to lvl Velious over Kunark for the simple fact that xp is better in Kunark. But back then it was amazing and new to people to lvl in Velious.

A year ago, I recall the typical peak being about 1500. Right now it's about 1200. Since velious was just released then, it's expected it would be a bit less now. It's been at the current levels for about 8 months now.

Long time for real. I logged in my red toon recently and was surprised at my gear. Holo treated me well. That old seb battle over trak was awesome.
