The only things that needed to be fixed have been fixed, and even the extraneous bullshit you cried for such as increased xp.

The only real major problem involving this server was guard assist not functioning.

The next big problem(only by comparison, not in reality) is the resists system, and it's better than anything any pvp server has had, so THAT isn't the problem affecting population. The population itself is its own problem.

Server sounds in tip tops... Why dont you play?

The main problem is the people used to the VZTZ system want to make R99 a VZTZ style box. the "red" advocates never really wanted a classic experience, and they've done everything possible to make this project a convoluted experience for people that truly desire classic.

Had guard assist worked -and epics had not been released on blue at the same time -I really believe we'd have a whole different scenario.

I haven't been logging in lately either. The population problem is just too dismal at this point, but instead of making it VZTZ 6.0 or whatever, more should be done to bring population back. The problem here is that all the devs hear is bitching and the forums are filled with garbage. They don't have the incentive to develop or do more than what they're doing now.

It's a catch-22 situation.

So your solution to increase the population, is to decrease it?

Seems legit.

Strawman but I'll answer. "Not logging in recently" doesn't equate to "quit". I promoted on blue board, on FoH, and on various other boards...brought a few people in but most have already quit...because of low population.

My argument is that something major has to take place. Event after event might work, but the devs don't have the time or the desire (read catch-22) to do anything like that right now.

I appreciate the response and give you the point, but the real argument is much larger.

Hi Humerox, my response was to harrison, whom I chose NOT to quote.

His theory was that the population itself, was the problem with the server's low population.

Genius rite?

I actually did not have an issue with your post.

He has a point... time and time again people post how they thought about red, but then looked at the people playing on red. To be honest, the only reason I'm on red is cuz I was in the Navy - in other words, my skin is about as thick as it can get and I can shit talk all of you up and down a pway, no problem.

If people on this server want fresh blood, you don't fucking greet them at the door with a swift kick to the nuts and some shemale porn.

The problem with this server is the population itself.

Also, Humerox, don't stop man, it's people like you that keep the server alive - at least, to folks like me.

This player has been caught exploiting on more than one occasion. His opinions, like a lot of posters here who have done the same, are worthless. Do not listen to Steaks/Cozmonaut/Holobad/Nihilum. They are part of the problem.

The server itself, with guard assist in, decent resists(better than anything previous hands-down), and your whiny request for increased experience is far and away the best server to date.

The problem lies in the "community", wholly.

My man klaatu dumping the wisdom yet again. Though it does make it sound like a wipe would be the easiest solution for the devs to try and breathe some life in to the server (and I'm usually the last person to call for a wipe). It might even get me to roll a char. The only reason I haven't is because of the low population numbers. So yes, catch 22.
