The pop never broke 250 when Red Dawn was on box. At best it was high 100's during the height of the exp bonus. The second they made the exp on r99 the same exp rate as blue [no bonus], the pop plummeted to double digits.

I thought we were 250 plus on repops, but yes the xp nerf was about the dumbest thing I have seen done to this server.

Yeah pop did get up there. It has always been a ratio of blue somewhere between 10 and 25%

300 people is probably enough, but this server is low on leadertypes, and high on angry mentally unstable adult babies. I think you might be right about velious though, at least at first. But it also means that low priority classic and kunark targets will stay up longer and offer a nicer environment for a Fresh-style guild, maybe something will rise up.

12 hours is a minimum requirement for application and will not guarantee you entry. 18 hours however....

i could have sworn TMO leadership told us that GG's biggest goal was to grief TMO off the server or something.

how are you keeping them safe? we want them to take the #2 spot asap.

GG and Empire should fight over who can keep us the most safe. MQ epic pieces would go a long way to ensure our safeness.
