POP dropping by the day since xp decrease

[Nirgon]

If I can be objective here (I like to think I am), this isn't supposed to be an instant 50 server. It's also not supposed to be a 1-60 in 2 weeks server.

I'm not advocating faster xp in any way to promote pvp, but to alleviate the 1-50 grind by yourself. Who really wants to play that (I can hack it, and again am speaking objectively and broadly)? See how long the blue server's fresh faces survive with a 120 pop that is largely 40+.

Yeah I agree. I'm not arguing for my sake even. I'm level 43 and it has taken me forever. I have grouped several times but no considerable exp was gained in the groups other than the duo with a bard. I can watch some movies and mindlessly grind away to 50+ no problem now that I'm somewhat close. I'm not one for alts and if I do play one it is just because a friend is playing and wants to group.

I think the Nihilum hardcore players are so disconnected from reality they don't understand players that don't play 24/7. All of their opinions are detached from the rest of the population and they honestly think they are right. It was obvious that they have a different mentality when they were playing 24/7 with 20 people on the server.

Comments about not being able to handle the hardcore everquest environment, when in reality it is just grinding easy pve content over and over, is a quick way to end a constructive conversation about how to improve the population.

Randomly surfing the web is in fact more fun than solo'ing 1-50 in EQ :P (especially without pvp). Hence, pop.

I'm quite interested to see how all these Nihilum advocating the group xp over overall bonus goes when the addendum of "only 1-50" for the grouping bonus is added [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Your confusing this server with project 1999 blue, this is project 1999 red, get the fuck out. This server is far from a classic pvp server using the 1999 timeline.

any newcomer has obviously ruined their own lands, and they will not ruin mine

In classic a 150 pop server would be merged then closed :P.

Try to debate high level brain functions with a neurosurgeon, you may do better with that than trying to tell me off about some classic EQ pal.

I also believe red and blue in their current state are part of the PROJECT, the goal of which being to release truly bad ass timeline servers.

customlike experience confirmed

It's really simple, we're losing population, we were gaining it when exp was faster. It doesn't matter what the reasons are.

Maybe the bluebies whose attention the pop haters seem to crave so much will care more about what you're doing when the population isn't under 200.
