It's not about me, it's about people on this server (majority who STILL play being high level) to interact with the mid-to-low level people in order to keep people from quitting the server.

It would be ideal for staff interaction/involvement to be the main catalyst for population retention, but since that isn't happening someone needs to step up.

Myself and Samwise have tried starting a newbie friendly guild for people new to the server, but we can't be on all the time.

I have personally seen people join the server have a blast until the late teens until the population runs dry, then have no one to interact with (friend or foe) and quit.

so you want people whove spent from 15 to 43+ FULL DAYS /played to spend even more grooming a bunch of lvl 10-30 players who will end up quitting anyways, aka MORE TIME for what? devs gave up bro this thing is done

I was putting out ideas to save the "current" server, I'm not blaming high level players.

I'm talking about picking up the slack for lack of staff involvement "if" you wanted the server to survive.

I also said "if" the staff doesn't feel like being involved any more since it was just a hobby they could give back by providing the source code they have refined.

I really hope one of these three things happen:

1. Server staff gets much more involved and population bounces back (unlikely)

2. Dedicated players get involved and population bounces back (highly unlikely)

3. Staff admit they aren't as enthusiastic as before, take credit for HUGE contributions to the "Classic EQ EMU code" and provide source code for someone who does want to be involved with the community to do so. (extremely unlikely)

These are sad times (unless your RMT'ing on P99 blue)........

Cast you've only posted stuff like burn it down, sever is done, ect.. about 20 different times today! It seems at this pont you are just bitter and want nothing more than to drive away any potential new players by making them think things are alot worse than they actually are. If you hate it so much why don't you just not play it, or at least not post so much negative shit. Everyone understands how you feel about it.

They're just in a panic their server population is fading into nothingness. They want to stir up any drama, any posts, anything at all that can get people thinking about red as opposed to blue. It used to be 2:1 blue to red population when red launched. Then it went down to 3:1 in a hurry.
Nowadays Im not surprised to see 5:1 population most nights.

EQ was not designed as a PvP game. Most of the PvP is fucked and pretty unbalanced. Thats the reason why there were only a couple of PvP servers when there were 30+ other servers running on live. The EQ community, even back then, acknowledged EQ is not a good PvP game by simple supply/demand of PvP servers.

The problem with these red fanatics is they played EQ during their teens (mostly) and have nostalgic memories of playing EQ PvP. Its amazing what nostalgia will sometimes do to people.

In a couple months there will be 50 or 60 people average (if that) and that is about where I suspect the sever population will stabilize around. If you look at other emu servers a population of 50 or 60 is sustainable.. just not much fun for the participants.

I never played EQ PvP back on live.

But playing on this server has shown me how much more dynamic PvP can make stale old boring ass EQ (still the best MMO i have ever played).

I hate to see it go to waste because it had the unfortunate timing of being released simultaneously when the P99 developers also got burned out after years of providing content for ungrateful whiny P99 raiders who constantly used MQ and SEQ while also RMT'ing shit instead of letting smaller guilds get a shot at mobs.

This classic EQ EMU community as a whole is shit, it really makes me disappointed. This is the most interactive dealing with people-iest (if that makes sense) MMO ever.

All the new gay MMO's are do everything yourself and I can't stand them. Is there no way we can come together and not exploit, not be selfish, and not make this server/community suck ass?
