server population

[PowaGamer]

225 people on saturday at noon. 15-20 people who are completely afk in EC tunnel and stay that way 24/7. Another 20-25 people who do the same thing else where = around 170 ish people actually playing.

In other words; This server is dead. No offence...

It's nice outside if you hadn't noticed. The population wanes when the weather is nice. Which isn't a sign that the server is dead but that the server is indeed classic.

Happens every summer.

It's spring.

The server population last year at this time was about double, I'd say, if not triple.

P99 pop isn't in some huge decline. As has been stated many times it was bloated from the release of Kunark. Prior to Kunark hitting, it was 300-500 most nights as I recall it.

Of course 300-500 with kunark released feels much less than 300-500 in only classic zones. Sure, Velious will bring people back. I'm not confident they'll see as many for Velious release as they did Kunark simply because of the nature of the two expansions (one has a new race and zones to level 1-60, one starts at mid-game and focuses almost entirely on raiding). Though Velious will likely retain more high-end players for a longer period of time with more content to focus on.

That is even more cause for concern, considering there is more game area to play in and less people than were on pre-Kunark. We are hitting double digits now at night. It's time to end unClassical variance which is harming the raid scene and upper level player retention.

Whatever Alarti says about how he combines his job, gym time, social life, plenty of sleep, undercover superhero crime fighting, and 40% P99 raid attendance, I just think most people who see how the raid scene works have very little interest in trying to play that game. So maybe the reduced population will finally lead the devs to make some long-needed fixes there. Or maybe not.

I think Velious is closer to coming out then we think. Nilbog has been asking a lot of questions. That is a good thing. So that will help a lot of the high end people for sure.

But I agree with Slave there will be even less people in the older zones. So good and bad.
