Population Predictions

[Rust1d?]

Guessing about 300-400 to start. After a month or so it will be about 100-200. There is no boxing so plus you will have people leaving because of griefing etc.

Depends on how hard people are trying to grief people off the server I guess.

You know, I do remember being told I couldn't come bother someone for a while after I killed/made them plug a few times on my rogue twink. I was told something to the effect of "I've seen you attack so and so 'X' times in the past few hours". So I stopped, no warning or anything.

PS: couldn't imagine playing that character with no item loot lol.

This. It will make or break your server. If you all act like a bunch of asshats and grief people off the server, you'll be sitting here in two weeks trying to think up ways to lure more "fresh meat" to Red99 because there's only 50 of you left.

Identify the griefers early, condemn them as a threat to the livelihood of the server, and go after them en force to make sure that sociopathic behavior doesn't propagate on Red99, and you might stand a chance to build a healthy community that can enjoy PVP.

I honestly think the ruleset of XP deaths is going to keep the population low. That and the griefing. I love PvP but I really can't do the the massive amount of time classic XP, while PvPing and with XP loss would take.

Also I kind of feel XP death deters PvP, but that is just my thought.

It's a shame because it looks like a good amount of work went in to make this a better Emu PvP experience.

first night 500
second night 450
second week 300
third week 200
after that 200 peak average 100
3 months 50 people

due to mega griefers / dickheads / generally unfriendly people

^^^^ this all day

exp deaths during pvp? are you kidding me? that's lame as shit.... so I'm lvling and some ass wants to kill me when I have 3 mobs on me and I lose exp? I don't mind losing the cash but exp is a whole other thing * about an hour worth of play time depending on the lvl*

just nuke someone till they are 20% Then let mobs finish them

then /high five the mob server population-1

I don't think the XP loss in PVP is gonna be the difference if someone quit or not. However this could be.
