server population

[Bardalicious]

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.

when did kunark come out last year? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

other games are coming out and there are people that enjoy running others off the server... makes sense doesn't it?

Maybe it's time for a promotion. They should put in place a big xp bonus for a while.

You know that's not a bad idea. It's been a while since I remember an XP weekend. There for a while a couple seemed to stack up close there.

They always did bring the lurkers out in droves!

Plus I could swear that lately, either experience has been nerfed or ZEMs aren't working correctly.
