Pretending like its the Dev's fault for not following mainstream methods of mass apeal as a reason for failure is way off base.

nobody is blaming the devs. we are suggesting that if you want the population to increase and the server to survive, you increase exp so the server appeals to more potential players. it's a simple concept really and your quote actually shows your understanding of it. i'm starting to believe you are OK with the current population.

the argument about we knew what we were getting into is a waste of time sir. you are either OK with the server population as it sits today, or you aren't. i'm all for releasing kunark and more content, but i'm not naive enough to believe it's going to bring in more players.

i'm posting as one of the players who wants to play but doesn't have the time to commit. i'm not asking for a /ding 50 command. I am asking for a compromise and believe there is a happy medium somewhere that will allow more players like me to want to log in and push to 50, without making it too easy.

Experience is already boosted significantly. The compromise has already occurred. You are in the happy medium between P99 Blue and P99 Red.

Experience rates are not the problem.

Harrison, What is the problem then ? no flame, just wondering since you seem to know all the reason why it's not the problem.

well classic EQ is not for everyone, thats why its classic.

xp rate on red is already MUCH higher then on blue.

I dunno what else you want? EZserver is easier i think, you should check it out.


Adding sky and then Kunark will give pvpers much more to fight over. Xp camps, good item camps, more raids to fight over.

The slow grind to 60 will give ample oportunity to pk. No more complaining about "waawawa all the lvl 50s log on for raids and then log right off" like some cry about now (yet still want to hold content back? derp)

which reminds me. the people advocateing fast xp to 60 or instant /ding 60..... you will then turn around and cry about all the raiders logging off once they down their weekly targets like you do now.

Slow xp actually HELPS pvp. Keeps people in the world xping.. so you can pvp them.

kunark = fun for current 50's.

unfortunately it will not bring back any of the players that want to play but don't have the time to dedicate to the grind. if i don't have the time to get from 40-50 do you really think i'm going to even attempt 50-60 with these same experience rates?

listen, you said the pop would spike when hate came out... please explain the 25% drop in pop since hate was released. again, you are asking for things that only the current level 50s want, not for things that the server as a whole needs to survive.

do you understand the difference between wants and needs? kunark is something we want and i won't deny that. kunark is fun as shit, especially for melees (me). but it is not something that will bring back players and help the server.

wants vs needs.
^Clearly has no clue what kunark has to offer. Just started EQ apparently. Even harrison has a better grasp.

No one thought hate or sky was gonna bring in mass peeps, you'd have to be an idiot. After 5 months, you just have to make the jump on an accelerated timeline. The server was stagnating (losing people daily), and now the vast majority of those who played R99 have won classic EQ. There was more manastones and rubi bps than there were people...

Sitting with 100s of 50s MIA just so we can try to draw in another 20 or 30 new guys to post-legacy classic era is not working. I know a lot of the remaining are way behind and want to get easy xp to recruit to your guild, but don't be selfish... No amount of exp is going to retain population in classic at this point. There isn't enough low level population to support it. Shits cashed.
