you can only "f*** around" so much with https://project1999.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=69

before you "find out" and your server only has 200 people online on a sunday morning

+ Green and other options for people's time sure... but entire guilds worth of people were leaving before that was a thing.

Vanquish was absolutely smashing Riot. Arcler was in chats claiming Riot was getting 95% of raid targets, but he was holding things together with lies.

Then they somehow got GMs to implement Riot friendly raid rules that were confusing and contradictory. Guilds had to track things themselves, and that made it more confusing.

That killed the momentum. The thrill seekers moved on to other things for their dopamine fix.

Then the schisms came. Splinter guilds like Gravity and Get Off My Lawn were formed.

And the funny thing is, during any of this time or during the period where Vanquish was a shadow of its former self, I never would have considered Kittens as the #2 guild on this server. That's just hilarious. A guild surviving on an average of about one raid mob per quake would never qualify as #2.

Bag limits kept Riot on life support. Something that had never been seen before nor seen again. A special rule for one particular time...hmmm...

Without that bullshit they would have lost their most dedicated raiders and would have been put in the ground where they belonged.

Must be nice to have friends in the Green Title Syndicate.

“The real ones” need sarcastic quotation marks.

It this is a dead game without them, it’s never looked so good without a pulse.

Everyone knows the pop would/will jump with the announcement of new green and/or custom content. Posts that promise x, y, z will be the end of the server have aged worse than the server itself.

idk, looks pretty ended to me, maybe our definitions are different.

and i'm okay with that, i play solo so this new experience of the camps i camp being open whenever i want is pretty neato

>Everyone knows the pop would/will jump with the announcement of new green and/or custom content.

i don't see how a new announcement of anything other than a merge does blue any good

What if we crowdfunded a p99 commercial on tv? Would that get more players on here you think?

nah, my point is literally the opposite.

the real ones broke the fragile ecosystem with one too many guild merges and gatekeeping a lil too hard in the paint.
