All serious idea's have to begin with a wipe. Server integrity has been compromised in basically every way possible. As I said before, I doubt that Rogean consider a wipe unless the pop drops to 0. He doesn't seem like the type to go back on his word. If the pop is at 0, who could really blame him. It will happen at some point. I've been really surprised how the 10-20 people left have been able to keep interest this long. Everquest is a pretty terrible game when played single player.

I think this conversation is done.

p.s. we've had a half dozen new apps just in the last three days, and ALL current content being downed. We are gonna hit the ground runnin soon as Kunark is released. Good times. So server is never going to zero and server is never gonna wipe. Therefore:

Just because there are a group of 10 guys killing bosses on a server with a population of 20 doesn't mean things are okay. They are only okay with a very small group of people that are happy to have their own box. If devs want a high population obviously they have failed. If they want to make a server for you and a couple of their friends then they got what they wanted.

To Heartbrand:

I agree with almost everything you have said. It speaks volumes that LoZ has the population it does when a server this sound is up. I know you can take the population of LoZ and multiply it by about 60% to get the real number but it is still way higher then red99.

Everyone has their idea of what the server should be. If I could make my perfect pvp server, that would sustain with the current population and interest, it would be red99 server with LoZ rules, minus the crazy exp. If red99 allowed you to 2box, had the pvp stat system, yellow text, hotzones (lower bonus but something to get players in the same area), I would play on red99 no question.

People on red99 have become very bitter it seems, yelling at anyone suggesting that this box with 20 people on isn't the best, and anyone saying otherwise is soft. Trying to call out people saying if they quit playing red99 it is because they can't handle it and are not hardcore enough.

Technically all of us have quit every game we have every played that we are not currently playing, and the reason is that they are not fun for us anymore. I didn't quit playing Rift, Tera, or Super Mario Brothers because it was too hard. All of us came from the original Everquest servers, did you quit them because they were too tough for you? People came here because they wanted to play a server like it was back in 1999. To some of you that means grinding like you did back then, to some of us it means having more then 2 players in your zone. You can make all the classic rules you want but having a population is the healthiest thing for a server.

I think the devs have gotten to caught up with the classic theme. The only thing that needs to be classic are items, zones, npcs, quests, coding, resists, melee dmg, no hacks allowed, etc. Things like 2 boxing, yellow texts, global ooc, pvp stats are just healthy additions that help add to the population. This server has 0 ability to adapt either because of stubbornness or lack of effort.

Let's all listen to Supreme, the guy who takes a video game so seriously he resorts to posting someones real life name and address in game to take out his frustration over pixels. Never saw someone rage quit a game so hard in my entire life. You should seek professional help.

Indeed the player base does listen to Supreme. Because i actually stand by what I do and what I say.

What does does your actions say about you?

Flake...
Toxic...
Rejected...
Failed...

I cannot put worthless on the list...after all we can use you as a bad example.

The difference is that there is one server where you have to actually compete within a defined rule set and another where you can box/MQ/Train and generally be a complete douche without repercussions.

The server population on Red99 is not a result of anything short of the dead and defeated QUITTING the server because they could not compete. It was more important to run around in 3-6 person gank squads griefing for the LULZ than it was to actually step up and organize into a strong force and compete for content.

Stop making excuses..man up and be a challenge.

Or STFU and move to LOZ and stop crapping up the Red99 forums with your pissing and moaning.

If this server ever gets 0 pop i foresee the powers that be just chalking it up to a failed experiment and shutting the place down instead of a wipe and restart.(they have another server to worry about)

Not that it applies to discussion about this server but i would instantly move to a hard coded teams server if one ever pops up.(preferably race war where each racial team gets every class)

lol @ supreme the guy who was suspended for releasing someones real life information because he got enraged over a video game preaching to anyone on these forums. guy should be permabanned for his own health, it's nutjobs like him that might just snap and shoot up a post office.
