How do we get players to return to Project1999?

I don't think EverQuest's complete lack of any decent features at release was ever the reason any of us played it... it was simply the only decent choice and we got hooked. The way EQers talk about the game is like listening to your grandpa talk about walking uphill to school both ways and saying they enjoyed it. LoL

Since we all already know the game so well, it's much easier and much more enjoyable. But if I was just starting the game today - I'd probably be gone tomorrow.

Gee, maybe half of the population has left because the server staff blatantly banned/suspended guilds with no explanation or justification. The staff makes cookie cutter rules that they think will apply to every situation in every zone, but this just isn't the case. Without the GMs raiding they have NO CLUE what guilds go through and why they do what they do. Yet they get to make all the rules and decisions without talking to anyone involved. Go ahead guys, let's make some more rules so you can suspend guilds blind with NO EXPLANATION so casuals can rule the server. WoW caters to casuals, and look at them; billionaires. I personally quit WoW for p99, but the server staff just brings back the same one sided bias and makes me sick.

Grats on killing your own server.
Grats to the casuals for actually being listened to.
Grats to Rogean and his adsense income while contributing nothing in the changelogs.

Keep on killing the server.

As for the rest of the devs; I love you guys, you're the ones giving this dying project a chance. So thank you.

Hi kwentzell,

While your rage post couldn't be further from the truth in almost every aspect, it is still a violation of the forum rules. I'm going to go ahead and issue you a forum disciplinary for multiple rule violations.

Please remember to stay civil in non-rants forums, and to always treat the staff with respect for running this server.

Thanks!

Could someone explain what the deal is with this guild and all the people that got banned? I'm a new player, but have seen a lot of posts eluding to this and am wondering what it's all about and what kind of server I'm sinking my time in to.

It's the best when people ban saying your points couldn't be further from the truth but don't support it at all!

Play your mid level alts more, huge population hole 30-50 on this server xD

Unfortunately there will always be a huge population hole at those levels and lower... the server is old, content is old, and the timeline to support specific updates is way behind schedule

I disagree with your points. My son wasn't born when nintendo was going strong. I installed the nintendo emulator and roms and he loves them. They are all new to him. Just because the game is old to you doesn't it is old for everyone. There are people who haven't even played the game.

There are millions that haven't played the game and they may even enjoy EQ IF you could get them to try it. Those points do not negate the fact that there is a huge population hole at the levels mentioned and while it is always possible that there will be a large influx of new players to fill in that gap, I highly doubt it.
