Enjoy your fail server. Eventually no one will be a winner. Derp.

The people left playing are the ones.. /gasp , having fun on the server and enjoy it for what it is. Many in this boat are just waiting for more content to release , which WILL happen.

Server is fine, change it and its not "this server" its a wow clone.

Im addressing all the people who want to change it. No need to change it, log onto any of the hundreds of other games out there for that game experience "millions" are playing.

This server has a specific purpose and is targeted to the few left in the game-space that likes true classic red EQ.

We understand that is not some huge majority anymore, we are just thankful that this one precious server is here and we DONT want it made into a wow clone.

Hope ive made myself clear. Nilbog (and I guess rogean for errr umm.. maintaining the server???) thanks for what you do and keeping this rare breed alive.

Maybe for you it is...but you're missing the point.

You and the other 30 people that play on this server are a small percentage (if any) of todays gamer. What you find fun, one million other players don't. Add that with the other issues I pointed out and you get a dead server.

EDIT: to be honest, I can't really think of any major changes (exp,content.etc) that would increase the population to acceptable numbers (not even sure what you guys would like for population) There's a good chance EQ is finally dying off.

The vast majority of people who played eq live back in the day never made it to level 50. Most of these people were clueless newbs who, either because of school, work, or having shitty dial up internet, didn't have the time to invest to make it to raid level. And that's fine! This is a game where you're supposed to make your own fun. If the emu pvp community can only derive fun out of the game once they hit level 50, that's their fault, not nilbog's, and I fail to see why anything should be changed to suit them. I know this sounds like victim-blaming but it's not. The pvp community is its own worst enemy.

I agree, not that I think you should change anything to suit them, I just don't think there's anything that you can change that will bring people to the server.

If you want population to increase you would have to follow what current MMO's are doing.

If you want a niche game that almost no one will play, then you can't complaining about server population without looking fucking retarded.

Thread is about releaseing the already planned content of the server on the planned "accelerated timeline".

Not complaining about the low pop. The majority of the people complaining about the low pop quit before they hit level 30.

We are here for a niche game and take the good with the bad.

Gonna be so lol when there's not even enough pop for the hardcore bluebies to raid the pixels they seek so desperately, good luck in velious brews.

Listen, the server is fun, when you are 50 and there is loads of PvP and shit to do.

The IMPOSSIBLE part is trying to start a non-solo toon right now. The absolute chasm that exists for TRUELY new people is absurd.

There is ZERO. NONE. NADA. ZILCH. NEIN. Chance that anyone will come to this server fresh. And if they do, it will be as a solo class, because there is quite literally nothing for a Melee to do.

The indisputable fact is, you have more people leaving than you have starting. And the ones that "start" are trading Blue for Red and thus aren't even new to begin with.

The server is dieing, you can say its not, but that is because you are already over the insane treadmill, and honestly don't care about people coming up.

Its the old, "I had to do it this way, so you have to also. And I will cry and scream if you have it easier than me." No you fucking morons, just because you did something, does not mean its in the best interest for all people to do it. Its that attitude that is the worst thing about the server, and unfortunately anyone that comes to this server/board now, all they see are those idiots.

The Admins/GMs are helpful enough, but its the dumbass attitude of the people on this board that keeps pushing people away.

I don't care if you were able to grind through it. It is in the best interest of the server to change. But because people want to brag about getting to 50 in classic that people are now killing the one server everyone wanted.

It is complete idiocy to think that the server is not slowly dieing, just look at the population numbers. The people that log in now will get bored and walk away, and on top of that, there will be zero new people playing AND STAYING because of the reasons outlined above.
