To server staff:
I highly recommend you instance ToV for couple of months. You'll see 1500 online in notime. See it as some form of Christmas gift to us casuals. AA wont quit cuz of it, cuz 1) its limited time and 2) you already succeeded providing us a full classic experience more than perfectly well [You must be logged in to view images.

This is a cute thought but this is like saying you'd "appreciate it" if they added achievements, multiplayer, and saved games to Minesweeper.

It's a volunteer programmer staff working on their hobby. It's a 20 year old game that was poorly programmed. You can't just slap on instances like that.

They can spawn a Vox or Naggy though.

lol this thread. I saw 950 people online this morning. The only time I've seen the "1.4k" numbers the op mentioned were during the first month of Kunak and the first month of Velious.

Why schedule a vox nag raid once a month with a 12 hour window just for a shot when you can do it once a week guaranteed at your leisure?

Face the facts, eventually 98% out People want to raid and p99 raid scene is toxic and or unappealing to the vast majority of people.

Maybe because people enjoy a fantasy world where killing a dragon is a rare and epic event more than one where any idiot can make a dragon magically appear at their whim by pressing a button?

Really you just summed up the entirety of why people still play classic EQ instead of all the more modern MMOGs. The modern MMOGs (including EQ 1.5, or whatever you want to call Agnarr) DO make things easier and more convenient ... and in the process they lose the fun that classic EQ still has.

[Faiding]

Well, considering at the "end" of P99 your only options are to a) quit or b) start over again I'd say that lends to a high turnover.

Then again, there's nothing "classic" about Agnarr either, which tends to just make it feel like you're playing the same MMO that everyone quit for WoW.
