This server is fine. There's 150 online compared to like 30 a year ago. If exp rate has dented that somewhat then change it back to exactly what it had been + leave it alone. Not hard.

Actually, if im correct, this surge in pop is way less older than a year. Population was sort of shitty till... hmm january? Then it snowballed a bit with Sirken making night fights and (my guess) with winter hunkering down.

Theres a reason why the server tanked earlier, unless theres some thoughts given into why, itll tank again.

That saying about its stupid to do the same thing and expect different results? Yeah

p sure exploitation en masse without consequences and lack of guard assist and 400 bluebies who didn't like pvp were the reasons why the server tanked the first time

I would be curious as to what % was aware that any exploiting was going on. I really didnt pay attention to what was going on the forums about that, i never ran across someone who i noticed was exploiting in some way, ever in the first few months. I became aware of item recharging later on and some of the "more lucky than exploit" stuff much later on.

Ill agree on the lack of guard assist, that counted im sure.

I guess theres no way to know for sure if it was that people didnt like pvp, or that people were rallos old schoolers and were like I heard you liked grinding so we put some more grind on top of your grind so you can grind while you grind? Fuck this, im checking out of here.

I got my hands full with fungi/ragebringer twinks already


which sucks but is better than 0 players being in the lowbie zones. Flowers are keeping the low/mid level pvp dream alive

who gives a shit just get more people

[mostbitter]

yeah who gives a shit please start transferring over epic mages and rogues please please

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

after seeing the blue best of the best, no amount of gear will make me afraid of 99.9999% of their playerbase

[mostbitter]

Any player could buy one of their toons. Much like what already happens pretty often.

Allowing blues to transfer with any gear would be one of the worst ideas ever.

MAYBE allow transfers with 0 gear. Even then its a bad idea since most people would just go blue a char on blue then transfer it to red.
