Glowing Stone Band is super useful again! Thanks devs!

Does anyone feel the patch ignores a few elephants in the room?

- Just pathetic population. Green and Blue merge, please. No, making another classic server will just hurt pop again. Green was a bad idea in the first place imho.
- Zone experience mods in dire need of retooling. You all ruined Hole and Velks is now a Bard xp zone 24/7. Maybe boost xp in a 50-60 zone that doesn't ruin OT banking?
- And then maybe come up with ideas to grow the pop. Perma xp bonus?

Watching the server pop drop below 200 on Blue, when it once was over 2,000. So uh I'm just tossing out an idea. Typical internet. You can agree there's a problem but step on my suggestion to fix it. Let's hear your ideas?

Link the post where he agreed with you that there was a "problem" you propagandist.

Now begone with you, your ilk will not be having the chance to rmt legacy items on this museum ever again.

The game is over 25 years old, not without its flaws and the content fans out after 2 years. Don't forget that most people who play this game are probably people who played live back then and are on a nostalgia trip. There is a limited quantity of those and it is going to be a tough sell to get new blood in.

The comical exp curve is an integral part of EQ's identity. 54 and 59 are rites of passage and other hell levels are a part of the culture. Perma exp bonus would cheapen the experience in my opinion and I doubt it would make anything else than more level 60 alts.

Outside of marketing (which is not happening) or restarting servers more ofen and merging the older ones I'm not sure of what else could be done to keep them more alive.

That being said I wouldn't mind a merge with blue and more groupability in general, especial in the lower brackets would be nice but as someone with limited playtime I don't mind getting most camps when I want them.

At this point I wouldn't mind if they merged green/blue ESPECIALLY if they end up making a new server but I'm not a raider so those people might feel differently.

52-60 is a grind, always was. It is the classic experience. Just be happy we get Holiday double exp/loot/faction bonus, that didn't happen live back then.
