I'd say Kegz and pals have got a good window now to get as many bugs (that should have been sorted out during the server's 2 year beta) fixed as possible. If The Sleeper is still a bug ridden hellhole with painfully slow XP and seeming penalties for solo players versus boxers, I'd say the day Velious releases on P99 is the day they'll lose a chunk of their population.

I don't doubt there's people who have done everything they want to do on P99 before Velious is released and are looking for that vacation to somewhere else, but how many come back is dependant on how soon things get fixed over there and how the guild situation ends up being. At the moment there's a couple of contenders for the #1 spot, but with nobody anywhere near raiding it won't matter...and there will probably be a merge to create a zerg raid force, and its just P99 history repeating.

I'm on the fence with the server. I think a lot more could have been done during the beta, it feels like PEQ over there and that it wasn't ready for release, but if they launched the server after Velious on P99 they'd have had a very small population.

Only thing going for The Sleeper...talk of further expansions already. P99's future isn't so clear. I'd love to roll a beastlord, fuck yeah...

Im not sure why the entire lot of people dont move to sleepers. P99 has been sitting on the same damn expansion since march of 2011 - thats absolutely insane - people still poop sockin the same old shit... No talk of Velious - no talk of velious beta (this would be out at least 6 months before an actual release). Man up - grind out some levels - make new friends and kill better crap. Not a knock on P99 - they have a great server... although 2+ years of the same expansion is a long time to chill in kunark

Now, while I don't mind waiting... there has been recent postings regarding Velious by Sirken. I'd say its closer than you think, Q4 2013/Q1 2014? My plat is on that period.

You're basically saying that you can't wait for Velious and need to experience it on another server? There's always Live. The Sleeper, to some, is merely a test ground for people wanting to camp various pixels when it launches here...P99's bitch, if you will [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I like how "hot zones" give a 15% XP bonus... so people run from ZEMs of 150 to ZEMs of 75 to enjoy that bonus. People are easily trolled.

What the server needs is better regular XP, and doing away with "warm zones".

I would like to believe you but I remember a year before they released Kunark. Uthgaard telling us all at the entrance of sebilis that Kunark is "Very Soon".. I remember hobby telling us "Kunark is done other than some minor work".. a year later we got the expansion.... as year of your time is a long time to wait - when you have another server already with it...

Ok, well Kunark release here was 10x better and more polished than Velious release on Sleeper... that's all I can really add.

EDIT: ...and P99 didn't have 2 years of Kunark beta.

Kegz is far too fickle... we'll have 15% hotzone XP some days, 30% hotzone XP on weekends, today we'll do this, tomorrow we'll do that.

The server needs a faster rate of XP if people are going to stick around. Killing an even con orc (blowing most of my mana pool as a druid) at level 8-9 and getting 1% XP for it? I'll just sit and med another 99 times and I'll get a level...

Not keen. Promotional BS like the above mentioned is nice on one hand, but he's not dealing with the bigger picture.

(inb4 "omg stop whining about the xp"...the first rule about the XP on Sleeper is you don't talk about it, or people get [You must be logged in to view images.

Agree, he needs to quit with the random "today is a bonus day!" and just up the xp overall. Also, instead of all of these random hotzones, just make the noob zones hot zones that way 90 percent of the ppl that play on that server don't quit before lvl 4.

Logical solution, I'd have Nips as the GM tomorrow.
