So the truth comes out, but we all knew this anyways.

Im sorry that you are sad that red99 is thriving and about to thrive harder.

I am.

(wow, old school names like Mouse, Target, etc. are on now too, its amazing how fast word must be spreading that Kubark about to come out on the last classic legit red EQ sever this world is ever gonna see. Smart folks are getting on this last nostalgia train to glory, others are well........ wasteing away on shitbox version 33399393.0, which is about to experience a extreem population drop... im senseing..)

edit: more bad news for a certain faction on these boards that want to see things fail:



Loving all this new dev attention we are getting, arent you guys? Its really exciting.

Im not part of the "faction" that wants to see the server die. I think youre a little to immersed with the word "faction" pal. its not the 1500's.

I originally quit playing red because of the diablo hype. Went and played that for a while. I liked it at first but i just dont want to play that for a while. Sue me ive been playing on another pvp server for like 8 days now because the people i come across dont just run from me. (maybe its because i dont use any of my popular names?)

I got on p99 right before i tried loz, i popped into the innothule swamp, there was some nihil gnome necro there, i engaged him, he popped a crimson and ran off over the swamp, couldnt chase because i didnt have a dmf/levi to run on water, shouted lol u better run and he never even said anything. This was at like 3am EST when there were no more than 17 players online.

Fuck that dude. If you think i dont play anymore because of nihilum, show me some proof of me getting stomped a few times. I have proof of stomping nihil 1v1 and in 20v20 situations. Youre players run from me when they see me. Every time. Even when backup is right around the corner. And unless it gets there on time, you ded *****h

Server pop around 43 or something atm. Grats. Pop was the same when i felt like there wasnt enough action, and left for diablo.

Logged on for a min, went to guk / sol b / sro, no body in any of those zones, found 0 pvp, multiple FF people who defected to nihilum, logged off.

Sounds like a lot of fun hb.

Did you really expect people to continue to be a part of nothing out of loyalty to someone like you? And for someone who spent tons of time bragging about the pixels you farmed (on those tough 3-man Naggy kills) on LoZ, why pretend to be bitter and hurt that people chose to remain here for theirs?

[heartbrand]

Um, I played on LoZ for a week and didn't farm a single Naggy, nor was I an officer or leader of FF that I would expect any loyalty to me. You are one of the dumbest posters I have the displeasure of reading on this board.

1) boxing is classic thanks

2) 50% of the pop left because many people will ONLY play with a guise or a MS etc and decided fuck it after that was gone, trust me I made some nice plat from farming guises and once it went out I heard from many people "wow guess im not going to play here"

3) a wipe would have increased pop even if you argue it would be detrimental over the long haul, it certainly would've resulted in a pop increase.

just refuted all three of your points, who is the idiot now? thanks

lol at refuting a point with claims that have no evidence.

1) true, but it was very rare in 1999. This is largely b/c of equipment but also perhaps a different attitude of players. banning boxing actually feels closer to classic to me.
2) I seriously doubt half of the population left b/c they did not have a guise. If anyone left for this reason I think it is pretty dumb. Guise is hardly game breaking and manastone doesn't mean nearly so much once kunark comes out. Counter to this argument hundreds if not thousands of new players have tried blue after legacy items were removed
3)obviously you can prove this hypothetical scenario. It sets an awful standard to reset the server and i think makes people more hesitant to start up again. I personally would be really frustrated if they wiped the red server and would probably not start back up.

You do not have to play here, but why make it your mission to convince others not to? Reset the server is not a constructive contribution to looking for server improvements.

lol at starting off your post saying I refuted a point with claims that have no evidence and then immediately agreeing with the factual content of my first point

Kunark wasn't 1999 and by that time boxing had started up, though I'll fully admit it wasn't "wide-spread," but that doesn't make it any less classic

50% wasn't my number, it was Dullah's, who argued 50% of the pop left because of legacy removal, implying that content is king and therefore new content would bring these players back. My response is that of whatever number it was of people that left after legacy, a good portion of them were newer players to the server who felt cheated that they had missed out on legacy and that it was removed without notice, and therefore quit, NOT as Dullah contends, because there was no content left to consume

3)obviously you can prove this hypothetical scenario. It sets an awful standard to reset the server and i think makes people more hesitant to start up again. I personally would be really frustrated if they wiped the red server and would probably not start back up.

There was a thread with a poll of who would return for a wipe, 75% said they would and I think the total number was in the triple digits. Of course some of those posters could be trolls etc., but can you discount every vote? People love new things, they love new servers, just look at the popularity of red on release, or of the progression servers or even fresh EQ Live servers, they always have a huge initial pop.

You do not have to play here, but why make it your mission to convince others not to? Reset the server is not a constructive contribution to looking for server improvements.

Reading comp fail, didn't say to reset server, merely said that the contention that kunark is the only way to increase pop is not a correct assertion
