Now stop all the crai posts about how your wizard is not xping fast enough. p.s. hopefuly some of this inflated xp bonus goes away come Monday. (and transfered to a group based bonus instead to encourage grouping and not soloing quad wizards)

ya hopefully that does happen so when shit doesnt change we can all throw it in your fucking face

Red is pathetic. It needs DRASTIC changes to ever have a decent population.
The saddest part of the whole thing is there's so many of you guys that put hundreds or thousands of hours into the server. It's a tragedy.

Here's a thought: the solution to red isn't temporary increases the server population.
In it's current state, 100 more folks could come to the server and you'd still have a piece of shit box everyone would abandon in short time.

Kunark didn't help, XP bonuses didn't help, no one on blue gives a flying shit about 50%, 100%, or 500% xp bonus. If they cut the XP on blue in half, it would still have 20 times the population of red.

Stop playing on red. You 50 or so folks that love the shit out of red are whats keeping it from getting the attention it needs. Let the server pop sit at 2-5 folks for a month or so and you'll have a better chance of getting your changes/improvements you desperately need. I wish red was worth playing and truth be told, if I had started at launch, I'd be as sad and as desperate as you guys, but I didn't so I will NEVER play on it unless it gets those DRASTIC changes

Changes like:
NO PVP in EC. Probably 25% of blue's population (maybe more) only play for the trading/twinking and rerolling alts. This helps sustain a low and mid level population.

PVP xp loss on death removed

Blue to red transfer. Even let items come over, just make it one time and maybe bar a few items (High end raiding loots?)

an ACTIVE GM- There's a shitload of candidates.

And... as a boost for the entire P1999 community, put a link up with an all in one download package that doesn't require any work on the players end other than download/install/click to play

referral rewards? for example, 10+ unique IP referrals, your name is silver on the forums, 25+ referrals, your name is golden or some variation of that. I don't know, some type of advertising solution. If the devs have no interest in advertising, atleast give the portion of the playerbase, who won't do it on their own accord, some motivation.
And that's all just recycled shit people have been saying over and over.

Point is: Red players, I feel terribly bad for you. You deserve better. I wish Red was decent so I could join you. Everything I've watched you guys try over the last 6 months or so has failed. Maybe do something different to draw the attention of the devs?

As much as you guys hate the LoZ guys, I think if you all had followed them, you'd be in better shape.

Rogean just needs to hand over the server to someone who loves the game and more importantly, the people that play it.

The last thing is, P1999 could be a game-changer for Rogean and the Devs. If they were professional and kept the community happy, I believe they would see the donations just rolling in. I can imagine a well-managed server (especially once velious and the custom content to follow hits) reaching populations of 2000 or more. No one donates because they think you guys are dicks that don't give a damn about them or what they or anyone else thinks.

newsflash: i dont fukin care about exp since i play this game hardcore anyways. i do care for the servers playerbase tho which is dwindling once again. and sad to say, its all nilbog/rogeans or whoever runs this fault.

Mitic you are fucking a badass, hope you get your epic and rule the box with an ice-commited fist. Deserve it.

In some ways your are correct Searyx, but for the most part the pro's will already have their twinks and PL teams lined up so the aged "mature" server community (those been around) are not really affected deeply by "XP bonus's".

Its there primarily for the noob. or new players. perhaps leaving some sort of bonus in for soloing would be good and balancing it with better group bonus's. So people dont feel overly penalized. But someone who wants to roll a mage or necro can quickly level with xp at old school classic rates and do their "solo" thing without being hurt. For the true soloists its not a penalty to take it out.

i.e. the group bonus thing is just for wars/rogues and other group classes that arent going to want to solo much anyway. In order to entice solo'ers to group and duo with them more.

There can be some great duo's had between a necro+melee or druid+melee. Hell I would even say hybrid + melee can be pretty awesome. But it happens less often with a high solo xp rate. It really does discourage it. If a necro got a ton more xp just for picking up a melee character they would seek you out and hunt you down for that group rather then just doing their own thing. This is the non-obvious but real logic behind not giving out the cake without asking for a party first.

How much spam/tells have you sent out looking for that druid to port with you and snare/fear in places like OT searyx? I know their out there ive ran accross a few. Rhumpkin was around when I was playing starwind and she was a real awesome druid and stopped in to play with me regardless of the hybrid xp penalties and shitty group xp.

While I do not play starwind anymore, players like that are one the reasons I stuck around and gave the server more of a chance. You will get more of this kind of play if the mechanics are developed around it. Hell if I see some melee guy killing sarnak beserkers in OT i'll probably throw them in my group even if i'm quadding to finish off the stragglers on my wiz. Would be sweet if it made more sense to do something like this. Had a few groups like this on live and it worked out alright IMO. even though shit was totally classic.

After thinking about it some form of both kinds of xp bonus would be legit. But to rely on one or the other would be less logical.

Just for fun i'm going to brainstorm a few kewl duo's people should look for more.

Bard+melee dps (fear, slow, kiting) bard feels like their doing all the work but this is normal anyway
Sham+any melee dps
Druid + anyone, druids can root rot with dotters, necros, fear, dot, nuke with wizards, quad with a partner (easy tactic).
Enchanter+anyone for all kinds of crazyness. Might be a lil tricky with a pure melee like war. But the extra root and dps to finish off a charm pet is leet even a war can fill this roll if they dont jump in the fight constantly and wait for chanter to break charms.
2 rogues +bandages
War+rogue +bandages
monk +mend + any other form of dps more monks = more mend rotations
Wizard can agro kite with rangers, and bards, and enchanters, and wars, and anything
Pally+any dps

I mean I have gotten good xp on almost every class combination you can think of. Shit can happen, we just need to make it happen.

Furthermore sometimes you have to be a lil aggressive in recruiting a friend. /ooc Class, Level, Place, and the method of fighting there. Allot of people will ignore /ooc 30 monk LFG

but

/ooc 30 monk LF duo at sarnak fort, can pull singles, fear, charm, any dps, duo's welcome. 100% more likely to get a response, people will see that and go "oh that looks like fun, I want to try fear kiting today" Lastly if theres a drop, advertise that too, bracer of hidden, rare, chance but hell yah, remind people.

They may log out of their mains onto their alt, or bring their PL team to you. Powers in your hands. Stop being so negative. Fuck RD got me to go to freeti yesterday, i got larsen to log on his cleric to go kill him. But it took some assertive communication. things worked out well, i had allot of fun =) I would never have ran over if someone just /ooc blahblah lf cleric

Another thing I noticed and i know the post is already TLDR: but... With dungeon ZEM's allot of people are completely ignoring outdoor zones and focusing on dungeons, soloists that would benifit from having extra dps outdoors can't use the same tactics indoors, everyone knows dungeons are the 1337 path to amazingness and are not thinking of camps like rathe mountain skeles, etc... I even tried skeles at dark blue in rathe mountains for giggles with a shaman on starwind, it was terribad xp compared to lightblues/greens in MM. Didn't seem classic to me. (last paragraph is part rant and QQ, part observation) had better memories of this.

Don't forget of our badass flay sisters group with wizzler and Brennard and nuui!
