Well it is 6 PM Eastern on Friday February 12th and there is a grand total on 97 people on the server. I have been a member here for a few months and sadly the server population seems to be in steady decline.

So that got me wondering if there are any plans down the road to restart the whole server from scratch with a heavy promotion push. The reason I bring this up is because of other games that have done this. Shadowbane used to wipe some of their servers every couple of years to allow new players a chance to jump in on a level playing field. Those servers became the most populated servers because it did allow new players a chance to compete.

As it stands right now, basically this server is in decline and I see no way that it will rebound in its current state. With twinks relentlessly pking new players in lowbie gear, over and over, it makes playing for a lot of new people, pointless.

I do not recommend this server, stay far away from it. There is no raid pvp and its currently peaking at 100 people primetime when the top guild isn't raiding. The top guild raids with 150 people uncontested and the next thing to competition is lower guilds that cant even field 20. Server is dead and not worth rolling, the community is also very toxic. Stay far away.

Confirmed butt hurt lol come on rag ur better than that!

Blue is so over populated

Blue is definitely NOT overpopulated, sorry. Most zones don't have that many people in them on blue either, it's just that the majority just flock to the same damn zones. 20% are in ec, 20% are in tov, 10% in kc, 10% in seb, and the rest spread out. Outside the aforementioned zones (in primetime) probably an average of 3 people per zone. Blue is top heavy, but not overcrowded

I'm shocked that no one wants to play on a single player version of EQ where a single guild farms raid content with no one in the common areas.

Red 99 is awesome. Sure, lots of the lower lvl zones are empty but velious/OOT and other popular zones aren't always empty. Personally I like playing on a server that isn't overcrowded

Classic PVP with no hacks >>

Problem is. That 1 person in each zone is permasocking the only mob worth killing in it..

Doesn't the red server have its own sub-forum to complain about the dead server?

[Jauna]

The only way to save both Red and Blue is to use Red as the prison/containment server.

Repeat offenders against the Play Nice Policy get sent to Red with little to no chance of returning.

Blue players rejoice at a cleaner, more efficient server
Red gets their lambs to slaughter
Everybody wins.
