Bigger population Bump.. Velious or VP? - Page 2

Well if Kunark was any indication.. when an expansion comes out the population will spike for a week or so. I can't imagine anything different would happen when Velious comes out. Not to mention Velious is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

i just got on today for the first time in weeks and saw less than 300... which is the first time ive seen that, and only 20ish on r99.
i guess everyone got sick of the poop socking with still no epics/VP

Yeah...lots of people tend to be at work during these hours. I tend to see 100-300 in the mornings and 600-800 in the evening. I'm sure we will see bumps with every new content release.

Velious and to a lesser extent epics will both likely have a greater impact on player population then either VP or red99, both of which I think primarily concern a small, but very vocal minority. EQ PVP is so quirky and silly, it interests a different kind of player then regular EQ, it makes running around as a 7xGM with trapped pouches in UO look like a well designed and intentional PVP system.

I'm glad VP is finally going in, but the attention it's received is absurd given that it's mostly just handing out pixel candy for 2 guilds. I don't think anyone is anticipating either guild to have any difficulty with the content.

VP holds no appeal to new players. However Velious has many leveling zones and loot for lower level characters.

I disagree.

You don't see the blue server losing players to red? I do. I see a big population dip the first week, followed by a sustained dip.

As a matter of fact, people get to the top, see how shitty it is and just leave.

He speaks the truth unless you like sitting days at 1 spot to maybe see some kind of pixels

There are a lot of good games out and coming out. I bet that is a reason for a dip in population.

10 people (because boxing isn't allowed on launch) is a big population dip?
