Brought back players? I don't actually think so.

Attracted new players? Yes. See new people starting every day.
(I still don't like the non-classic boost, but it is encouraging people to start)

Myself and 5 IRL buddies just joined. We have grinded our asses off in the 10 days we've been playing trying to get to the level to camp guise/MS. Unfortunately none of us were aware of the p99 red on launch, so we're basically fucked by hate coming out this friday. Could be a make/break situation.

What you saw is bored mains rolling up alts because they got tired of farming frenzy for the 5th month straight.

This is a classic red EQ server, no need to make it unclassic in a very very vain attempt to "bring in new people". People will only come here because its classic 1999 style red EQ, no other reason... Not YellowText, not global /ooc troll channel, not max level in a week xp.

Keep it Classic.

no, if people rolled alts how would there be more people?? if a level 50 /camps and creates a new character the pop would go from 100 to 100. you make no sense.

and yeah sure bro.. classic is obviously going so well for this server...

I agree with you to some extent, I prefer 'keeping it classic', but not everybody agrees, and it wouldn't kill my experience if there was OOC and YT and xp bonus(this is already in, I disagree with it but I can't disagree with the effects)

Also, I hope the new people I've encountered weren't bored mains rolling up alts, because if they were dying to level 1 monsters and asking for help that would be very embarrassing.

Just because YOU got bored farming frenzy for the 5th month straight, Arzak, does not mean that new players are all bored alts. Log on sometimes outside of raid times and check out the newbie zones. Especially in prime time(yes, I know it's raid time then, but if you can squeeze in a trip before or after your raid). Throw some newbies some Valor buffs etc. It's a blast.

In the spirit of Nellodee, I have always stopped and buffed noobs when comming across them. I actually put valor on some monk noob in Rivervale just yesterday named umm.... (something bad like Runnystool.. or something to that effect lol, I told him he should have his name changed before he is reported).

If there were more old school EQers here instead of just old school griefers, server would probly still be in the 300+ range.

On the old Zek servers, many old school EQers WERE old school griefers. Fighting your way through the griefers and succeeding despite them(and getting help from some nice people along the way) is, for me, what makes this server a challenge and a lot of fun.

I know you're a nice dude(heck, you helped ME out when I was just starting out with some advice and stuff), but just because asshats will be asshats does not mean the server's gonna die. Quite a lot of people come here just so they can relish in the opportunity to make people mad. Is there something wrong with that? Heh, maybe. But it's a PvP server. If you weren't expecting that, why did you come here?

Your answer would probably be to fight honorably and to get loot(which you do both of). Just keep in mind that there's more than one way to play EQ, and that's what makes it great.

Even if you have to wipe griefer blood off your blade now and again.
