oh ya actually forgot about the xp death on pvp, that needs to removed as well for increased pop

i see what you're saying twainz but comments i've gotten from people inside nihilum echo in my head about "recruiting until we can take down AOW is our goal".

To me that means you're looking to field around a 100 strong.

Even on blue99 that is considered a zerg, so if you go for that youll soak up pretty much all of the new people.

I want more factions, more people fighting for the same shit.

I'm with you Smed dawg. I want some PvP. I'm tired of all the bullshit that is PvP on this PvP server. I started playing here because I wanted that classic shit I never got to experience. Hell yea I wanted to raid the content that I am currently raiding. I never did it on Live. But never in a million years did I want to learn about Plugging, Insta plugging, and Gate poting. When I played on TZ, I can't remember anyone running. You would always fight, even if you were out numbered. Hell yea we would grief each other, but it didn't matter. We PvPed for PvPsake. The exp loss is whats driving this server down.

XP loss on pvp is the prominent factor for me quitting my monk, simply not having gate and losing 6 hours of xp on lvl 59 for dying in pvp had me knowing on the inside that i will never be able to pvp full time on my monk, cause if you put yourself in harms way on a melee character, you'll bound to die if you have some balls, as a caster that gate saves me every damn time, which in the long term means i get to pvp more cause i don't have to grind back that fucking exp.

I'm completely with you here, the xp on pvp death looked good on paper at the beginning of server but in reality it's horrible, promotes everything that pvp isn't.

Not to be a Grammar Nazi, but that was one of the longest run on sentences ever =)

honestly , PVP exp deaths have to go. Nothing is more important. If I was an Ogre SK you'd never catch me in PVP. It's bad enough on a Bard who can escape 99% of the time. Even casters that can gate out, do so in order to avoid deaths. people would be willing to take much bigger risks if it didn't imply in the case of an Ogre SK, that this death is gonna lead to a 6 hour grind session.

too many times did I hear about people rage log over losing exp, which in this server is not very easy to come by. I am sure plenty rage logged without saying a word, and plenty went on to quit the game altogether. Not trying to make this a Nihilum vs Azrael thing at all, but this is specially tougher for the underdog team, or any player trying to come up on this server for that matter. A lot of people will be prepared to take a lot more chances, if they don't have to concern themselves with additional grind sessions, just so they can take another shot at getting ahead. Regardless of this being a hardcore game, there has to be some level of accommodation for the more casual folk. When one death implies the next day you have to grind to compensate for it, your stay here becomes very questionable, very quickly.

It seems that most problems on this server would be solved if more people were on the server.

Is there an argument to not have more players?

How can we change things to get more players?

What is keeping people from playing here?

How can we address those issues?

wipe it clean from all the exploit!

EQ was originally a thing because of the community. The community gets ruined by very few people when it is already small in size.. that's probably all I need to say about that.

(cliffs: people are jerks)

This is why I quit. Sad to say but the only way to get me (or my brothers and friends) back on the server... is to eliminate the server as is, restart it with all the exploits patched up, and hope the shitty assholes don't get back to exploiting other things

[Sirken]

server will never be wiped or restarted.

ever.


this is not VZTZ.
