It's somewhat ridiculous to claim that quakes are monopolizing too much CSR time meaning that new players never get petitions answered. CSR are unpaid volunteers, they get to things when they can. I've had CSR answer me on issues on lower level characters. They do what they can.

Also curious where there is data on newer players choosing servers based on CSR. The only new server we have is Quarm and a ton of those people are people who have played on P99...it's not like there's this massive untapped player base just waiting for the right mix in order to try out EQ. Quarm is also large because it's new...not because of any CSR assignments or anything (in fact, the Quarm CSR policy is even worse because they're all allowed to play on the server, which will inevitably lead to corruption and favoritism).

Saying that new players don't play P99 because of the CSR is pretty ridiculous. New players don't come here because 1. Lots of people just don't know about classic EQ emulators, 2. People are old with responsibilities and simply don't have the time for classic EQ, and 3. The servers are really old and mudflated at this point, lower level zones are hit or miss on whether you'll find groups, and there's lack of clarity on the future of Green/a new server so why join and sink a ton of time in right now.

You are putting words in my mouth so this is my last response to you.

If there are events for lower level players and if devs/csr team cater to new players then that's where new players go vs servers that don't have those benefits. People respond to incentives.
