Seems like CSR is choosing to make the only competitive Everquest server go extinct and turn it into a rotation, like all the rest. Is it due to a lack of interest and effort, perhaps?

Sorry to break it to you but if the server ever went full rotation, the population would increase dramatically. Not only would more people be playing on the server and enjoy the raid scene, it would also get rid of a lot the people who have been making the server overall worse for many, many years.

This is patently false and has been historically proven. Live did this, Live died shortly thereafter.

In a true MMO, you do not do anything that lessens interaction between players. The results are obvious.

You guys keep using other servers / games as examples that rotations wouldn't work, yet my experience on this actual server says otherwise. Every single time, over the years, when the top guilds got suspended and the rest of the server shared mobs, there were huge flocks of people logging in. Even to this day, when quakes happen and even the lower guilds have guaranteed mobs to kill, the population increases. During the quarterly draft, guilds see record numbers online.

You have to remember, the vast majority of p99 players (and eq players in general) are in their 30-40s with careers and families. Most of them just want to kill dragons with friends and get some nostalgia and couldn't care less about 'competition', and the ones that do want some competition will get on an actual pvp game to scratch that itch.

I am still blown away that p99 doesn't have quakes way more often to simulate actual everquest.

So that you happen to be playing, a quake happens and you and your friedns are like "oh shit lets go try to kill a monster!" and choose a target and hope you're first to mobilize a force to kill it.

That happened on live and here it seems it would help mess with the total locked in schedule some guys have.

There's probably at most 100-150 people and that's being generous, on each of the servers who actually care about competition and being poop sockers. Just like everything else in life the minority is always the most vocal and loud and scream at anyone who disagrees. I'm willing to bet that a P99 server with forced rotations would be the most populated server and the least amount of work for the GMs. But it will never happen.

Do your obvious results include the fact that live has been more popular than P99 for the entirety of it's existence? If live is dead what does that make P99? Other games that went to much further extremes in this regard are vastly more popular than EQ ever has been or will be.

I get the point you were trying to make but speaking of patently false I think we can file your entire post under that.

I mean you guys realize how this looks :

Kael is one zone, but judging how much vanquish kills, Riot is getting severely beaten in other zones too.

They are real quiet about that part

It looks like Vanquish is cheating to win to the supprise of literally no one paying attention. Keep trying to distract but nobody outside of Furoars cult gives a shit about destroying riot or what the score is. Vanquish is cheating so the score means nothing. It's pathetic and so are the people crying about getting caught in here.
