Is the server overpopulated? Or is it something more? - Page 12

If you are blue and want to raid, you really just need to move to red. It is the perfect solution. Yeah, you get ganked occasionally by neck beards, but at least you can fight them. On blue you just have to hope they train you, you grab a fraps, and they don't beat you in a court of law.

Do you have anything other than first world problems, Lieka? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Part of the problem is the amount of platinum on the server. An in-game casino, like on live (in Shadowhaven) would help, I think. Spend money to be able to win items that no longer drop and aren't game changing, like rubicite BP or dark elf mask

Create a "refresh server"!

This would be another server that wipes itself clean every year or so (though, instead of deleting the characters, it dumps them onto the main server for people who want to keep playing their characters and continue onto the end game, or who don't want to lose their work and just keep going).

This. I'd definitely level my alts there. Back in classic I played over and over on the new servers SOE would open, enjoying the level race, bunches of like-levelled people all grouping, and the sense of worth in low/midlevel loot. Same with the early prog server.

Just Shadddduuppp and play. This is a free service and I think they are doing a great job keeping as classic as they can. You can't have everything! I think the server pop is pretty normal.

I would make getting a MotD for my druid a priority, personally. I had one from a GM event on EQ Mac & I loved it so much. *sigh* Unfortunately I am not in the tons of plat to spare catagory since I just restarted here anyway, oh well I can dream.
