will Pantheon be the Death of p99?

[Expediency]

The only thing that will cause a p99 collapse in the next ~5 years would be the devs shutting it down by force or choice. It will not die by natural causes.

BDA literally said they'd take 100s of players with them to Phinigel because they weren't allowed to have protected pixels here in Velious not long after launch.

Wind forward not too long...there was a dip in the population (certainly not "100s of players") for about 2 weeks, and P99 has been doing great.

Same with Agnarr, people come back because the live servers really aren't great or well managed.

actually classic EQ just can't work without constraints that preclude a viable mmog business model, like not allowing people to box, which is why verant changed the core design

Basically.

It's not gonna die till the hamster does or till we all choke to death on our ramen filled pop tart sandwiches.

I remember, I remember the posters taunting about it so bold and cocky.

Think they have moved on to another server again.

Years away from release? Kind of like chardok 2.0 amirite

To what exactly? The point of the game was to interact and work as a team - among a bunch of people who want to solo (necros back then, mostly) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also, more subs or less subs after mercs were put in? I'll let you decide.

Hardcore burnout just means more content for casuals. I'm okay with that.

Whilst I will definitely try Pantheon, I'm also very keen to see how Ashes of Creation turns out. There isn't a lot to go on so far but what they say on their about page and in the FAQs is intriguing.
