Server Pop plummeting

[Uthgaard]

If you honestly thought you had 500 people who were interested in a pvp server, you were mistaken. The rest of the initial pop was people trying out something new. It's always been you lone few dregs.

When it was higher at launch, you proclaimed that you were superior because clearly everyone wanted pvp. Now that it's lower, you're just scraping together another way to justify being alone and unwanted and calling it "success".

no shit people are retarded, please ignore them. The people are fickle, its the lone few Caesars (like the Prophet) who have the vision to see.

i'm no socrates but havin 500 people log into a box means having 500 ppl interested in a box to some degree

Current MMO's are bunk, I'm having fun - shit 100 people and I'd have fun. Any decent player that can suffer through the grind can join one of two guilds. If you can have a good two guild war over content going it's more than enough.

I feel it could grow too, don't rush kunark leave it classic - it's not a lot of content to catch up through.

Furthermore, server pop is still pretty healthy. VZTZ had 100-140 players on much of the time with the majority 2-3 boxed.

Having 100-140+ on VZTZ is much different then on Red99. On VZTZ the population was majority the same lvl(50). They occupied or fought over the same zones. Also OOC was global. All in effect giving the feel of a much fuller server.

On Red99, a population of 100 people, spread across 50 levels, occupying a lot more zones, and no Global OOC, all gives the effect of being empty. Therefore, the lvl 5 sitting in Greater Fay alone spending hours trying to solo, not gonna last long.

With this all being said, the most brilliant idea I heard to fix the server is Searyx idea of making lvls 1-30 or so much easier.

Though 1-30 is fun, It will condense the population and promote new players.

I am fairly certain that there is a bug with the xp rate. It will need some testing but all of these reports aren't just unsubstantiated whining, regular xp from killing mobs is slower than it should be.

I don't give a shit if a couple of people took advantages of a few tricks to get to 50 in a week with no sleep while shitting in socks. The average player can't function can't function in this environment. I couldn't even get to 4 without saying fuck it when I tested it out.

Unrelated population type. The population will always surge when something is new. That's your fickle population that flits from game to game looking for new stimulation constantly.

It's the discretionary population that I'm referring to. The ones who will come and go based on the experience.

You people that I'm speaking to now, will squat over any box teabagging it as long as it exists no matter what rulesets and mechanics are in place.
