PoP now under 200.

These posts do more hurt to the population than anything else. People come here and read these posts and think maybe they shouldnt start a character and waste time on a ghost server.

I'm lvl 24, and have had plenty of pvp competition in whatever zone I've been in. 150-250 people on during primetime is PLENTY of people for old world EQ. As more people get lvl 50, it'll only get better. Thats a lot of people competing over a small amount of content. Should lend itself to some good fights.

People need to cut the doom and gloom bullshit and enjoy your free eq. You're not going to find anything better than this, thats why you are here.

I agree. I'm currently excited when I see my spawn not being camped so I can level up. I spent an hour the other day fighting over a spot. The PvP was fun but by the time I won the spawn I had to log off about 15 minutes after I had it. With old world there aren't that many places to level. If there are 200 people on then there should be around 20 people fighting over the best exp spots within your level range (if population is evenly distributed). Obviously this will change once the server gets older and more people will be at high level.

Having even 75 level 42-50's on at once in the old world on a pvp server should be congested enough. That's a lot of people with few zones to be productive in. Also it is easy for scouts to find guilds they don't like with the small world.

Once expansions start hitting the population will be spread pretty thin.. but it also seems to give the population a boost to even it out.

Out of curiosity - wasn't the exp raised by 25% anyways? It is now January 3 and I never saw a message saying it was taken away. The exp bonus also never said it was temporary - it just happened to say happy holidays at the end of the message.

Items are scarce, so are twinks for people to group with like on blue, no free buffs at EC tunnel.

Once people are maxed out and have many items to spread around or people who are interested in trading up items on red to blue or shit like manastone on red for manastone on blue.. pop'll hop up from there.

People from the current top guilds will probably fade out and new players will come. The same thing happened with blue at launch and continues to go on.

While I'm posting, go ahead and stop posting shit like this. It doesn't help because retards or the otherwise uninformed lemming with threads like this with "omg server dying" sentiments.

I can't believe there are 20 fucking topics on the first page of idiots bitching about population. How many people did p99 have when it first started? when I tried it out, it was the same population as this not any better at all, but everyone was excited and impressed at the population.

So every blue from p99 tried out the red server for a minute or two and realized pvp is different than pve. So you had a big initial spike and then it dropped off. Who couldn't have predicted that?

These morons are bitching just because they want to change the ruleset. The server is more than fine it's healthy. Have some common sense and appreciate the circumstances, and the closest comparison you're going to get is P99 blue(still very different circumstances).

This is an unofficial emulated shard, and almost every emulated server is usually mismanaged garbage. They get hacked they get wiped they vanish after a few months. Combine that with the fact the investment is more than what people are used to. And now we have every faggot post crying about population under the guise of "lets find a solution team", and then they cry "the server is dying! use my dumbass idea to make classic not classic". And because these idiots use the guise of "finding a solution" the moderators literally let this shit overflow.
