Population falling?

You realize the golems went from 8 hour respawn to 3 day respawn right?

Nope. But how many were banked over the years I wonder. To go from 25k to 65k is a bit extreme, but maybe it's just me.

Just an example of the man holding us down, man! Even on a 17 year old elf sim, held down by the man!

Why are your thoughts on burly men holding you down when our world as we know it is ending??

I don't know. My mind goes to strange places sometimes, especially when facing impending doom.

the population is a complete disaster. this box has been out for 7 years and it's been disaster after disaster.

ive created a new population policy. its beautiful. believe me, it's been beautifully reviewed by just about everyone.

Are you doing your best Trump impersonation, or what. Seriously, I can see him saying these exact words the whole time waving his little hands around in front of his body.

This time last year the *average* was around 1600 during peak hours. Highest pop blue ever had was 1800-1900. If I recall correctly it was a night we had around 1700 or so that was already playing, it could of been more. Then Rogean repopped the server to see if the server would hit an all time high, and it did.

So OP is somewhat right, pop has dropped some. But it's to be expected, one thing that's certain is all things come to an end

Probably not all that many. The tears weren't heavily farmed when the golems were 8 hour spawns and fear raids often left them rot. On top of that, Shaman's one of the most popular classes and nearly all of them get their epic so there's a fair demand to vaccuum up any banked tears that were floating around out there.

P1999 turned 7 years old last month. For the majority of that seven years the average nightly peak was probably less than it is right now. The server's quite likely past its peak (which occurred at Velious release), but even being a bit over the hill it's still fine for now. The day will eventually come when it isn't fine anymore, and that's okay too. Few folks realistically expect something like this to last forever....If it makes 10 years with a solid population that's a pretty good lifespan for a video game.

100 a night max on its best night with global chat.
Those were the days.

Danth should remember global chat. =)

Most people ever online concurrently was 2083. Server average is just shy of 900. Pre-velious max was under 1600 and average has continued to climb for the entire time I've played here. Server population is fine. If anything, we could probably do with a few less people.

population seems exactly the same as when I started in 2014 - I would imagine the population will be exactly the same next year also
