This. Outside of 7PM EST and 12 Midnight EST the economy has wound down to a near halt.

Well there were 60 people in EC past 12 Midnight EST, last night. There are currently 61 people in EC at 3pm EST.

The max players went up again.. to 741 concurrent players.

What exactly do you think should be happening? I'd say near halt is a far cry from the truth.

They're doing it wrong.

I'm having absolutely no problem selling my wares at any hour of the day. And President is simply taking a contary stance to server policy, which is what he does, time in and time out. You could reinstate serverwide chat today and he would suddenly be against it.

And how many of those players are over level 15? How many of those players are actually selling items?

Last Sunday I was on at 1AM EST and there were 20 people over level 15. At 2AM EST there were 15 people over level 15. There were maybe 10 people during those times actually auctioning items.

What? Global ooc/auction was turned off Sunday, the 23rd, way after 1am est.

I posted the announcement thread at 1:14am cst, which is 2:14 am est. Rogean posted the patch notes at 6:27am cst, which is 7:27am est.

If you're saying there's not enough population in general, then I agree with you, but we are working on that. I do not see how it is relevant if 20 people are trying to sell to 20 people, or 100 to 100, though.

Also, you are intentionally biasing your own statistics by placing an arbitrary 'level 15' cap on what constitutes a 'valid trader'.

A fact I am sure you probably know, but are intentionally 'forgetting' because it doesn't suit the point you are desperately trying to make, is that many people use the concept of a 'vendor mule' to do their trading. By definition, these vendor mules will be below level 15. It's very very common because no one wants to waste an hour traveling from their 'hot exp zone' to spend some time trading in EC before logging off. No, they'll camp out their main near where they XP, log over to their vendor mule, and do their trading without having to spend time in travel.

you have screenies of these real in-game players opinions? wait..how can you hold a public opinion when the /ooc is not global. That would be called a room/zone opinion...just saying...

I think many are returning to p1999 now with global gone.

Right. I'm sure you speak for EVERYONE in game. Right.

The server is WAY better off this way and would have been heading this direction anyways, its emulating classic features, not emu features.

Nilbog stated this was true. Not sure where you're going with this one.
