just came back to check the server and its pretty much dead. where are all the former vz/tz garage box players? i rly dont get this, 20 players? everyone wanted this and noone is playin on it wtf! garage box had 200 (granted, with boxes) ....

ps: no, i dont want to read the whole forum just to get a clue what happened

I will try to be non-annoying like everyone else.

In all seriousness, the server is fun to play on if you solo. I have a 44 mage, working my way up.

But as far as a good, high population server is concerned, it is probably dead. There are 3 reasons why:

1) some big flaws during startup: no guard assist (lost 1/2 population within a week of server launch), resists were messed up, huge exploit problems (redwood wands, mage sword proc rate, pathing) let certain people "level up"

2) some things got fixed (guard assist) but most were ignored so guilds continued to exploit and people got banned (for good reasons)

3) critical mass... people were leaving for blue epics, and the server was getting DDOSed, forum trolls, etc. it just became a crappy community

I still play here, but it is sorta dead.

The unfortunate thing is that everything could have been resolved by a wipe in the first month. Call it Red99 Beta 2.0

People still calling for a wipe are just as delusional as the people saying population will stabilize in triple digits for Kunark.

Basically 1), 2), and 3) caused population to plummet, however the real reason probably has to do with my first sentence "I will try to be non-annoying like everyone else." The majority here are d-bags.

Join the server though, if I see you around I can give you free stuff and maybe even plevel, send pm!

I think you used to be right, lately i think the few people that are left begin to understand that it doesnt help population to grief the shit out of new players. And i am enjoying the server alot more than i did 2 months ago. Only problem is that work is keeping me increasingly busy so i get to play less than i did [You must be logged in to view images.

yeah i remember this and was asking myself why they didnt wipe or ban the exploiters after they fixed everything.

but thats, unfortunately, rogean politics. once he starts a server, it stays. in this case, sad to say, it was the wrong decision.

rogean or whoever runs this now, if you read this post i implore you to wipe it. this is wasted bandwith for 20 players and even worse when kunark launches with more than double the zones and maybe 40 players the first 2 weeks.

in this state the server is going nowhere, read: NOWHERE!

daxums server has been the golden age of eq-emu pvp. lets get this times back again, best eq experience i ever had over more than a decade of playing this game

ps: who the fuck derailed my precious post for being xfered to rants n`flames gdi! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is true and I am also enjoying the server more than I did when starting. Without all immature griefing peeps who lost this race and are now QQ.

I agree 10x, griefing that trash (holo,etc) off the server was the best thing ever.

Would do again.

I bet all my 50s that kubark will stabilize at triple digits if they do it now, and spend an hour adding a couple of the other suggested features the community has offered.

What really saw a huge drop was the release of Epics on Blue99 like 2 weeks after Red99 opened.

That hurt.
