Riiiiiiiiight.

Because the people on Blue99 are the targeted demographic for Red99.

It couldn't have been the IDIOTIC way it was ran for the first few months. Moronic GM involvement/bans/etc, massive exploits. And the stupidity of the ruleset.

Just Let Go.

Red99 failed, enjoy your Nihilum sandbox.


Umm..You think that the majority of the numbers that was first on Red99 did not come from Blue99?

And once Epics/VP was released they went back to new content and characters they worked on for the last 2 years....


Clearly you seem to understand the demographics much better than the rest of us i guess.

LOL vztz was lots of fun, but lets not kid ourselves. Vztz's population you could cut in half, so that 120 pop was really in the 60's( not much different then red99 now ). Vztz was also a joke Gm wise ( not saving shit before patches and having to do rollbacks and so on). One patch melees would two swing people, next patch mage earth pets were doing 90+ dmg a swing and were unrootable and thats pre kunark. Only thing that made that server fun was you could roll a new toon to 50 in a day or two. You could also give the necro gm in nek a pearl and get a diamond in return. REAL legit server! The real highlight of eq emu pvp!

Ok, try to follow:

TARGETED DEMOGRAPHIC... This means, the group of people that the Devs WANTED to play here. My sarcastic remark implied that the People Rogean and Co, built RED 99 for, was the BLUE population. (Which it clearly wasn't... or at least SHOULDN'T have been)

And IF that is who Rogean wanted to lure in... then he sure succeeded. The splinter group from Blue that now inhabits Red... consider it Blue 2.0... except by 2.0, its shittier than P1999.

Tr0llb0rn, you cannot claim that the server pop is X because of a batphone raid. The server spikes and falls between 0-50. Probably 20 or so on average. This and that stupid Oprah gif, you wonder why so many have you on ignore?

Although, the population has been climbing slightly I believe, and I have 4 days /played on a level 45 character (love being a casual), so I am glad to see flux into the server, however I would love a wipe with a non-broken server start. However, I know it would probably be the death blow to the server. Should have happened the moment Rogean got a whiff that it was released to early.

Fixing 1) guard assist, 2) resists, and 3) no wands/sword of runes/pathing exploits would have guaranteed this server to have >300 people a night.

Blue epics and VP pale in comparison to the server loss caused by the big three. All of the whiners about exp are lame as well.

I still think the best solution would be to open Red99 2.0, start over, legacy time period, and promise server merge after 4-5 months. That way Nihilum can continue farming and stockpiling a gear advantage while others can try to catch up from a non-broken server launch. Yet to hear a better idea to save the server. (/whisper YES IT NEEDS SAVING, biatch sprung an uber leak on day one) Kunark will not save server, it will help for a month or so I think! Will be a fun month, and I am looking forward to it!
