Anyone over there notice a change in the population yet? Has confidence nosedived? Or is it still fairly steady?

Population definitely seems like it isn't as strong but there are those that are dedicated. I am on the edge but I keep logging back in. Main reason is because I have close to no desire to log into P99. I met some people i play with on sleeper so it has been more fun. I couldn't imagine sticking to it if I was playing alone.

Stuff is very annoying like xp, mobs pathing, and the things like crocs being kos in Oasis but I notice if I just find a spot that works and stay there it works out. It actually makes it interesting because my normal spots I have used since live are fucked (example is there are no crag spiders near the ramp in EK) so i am forced to try new areas.

It was at like 160 earlier tonight - not counting boxes of course. Seen a few post they were quitting, seen a few in OOC say they were quitting - seen them back online later that day again.

Who knows how it will pan out but I am having fun and that's all that matters really. Hopefully they can work the bugs out, but that is going to take some serious time.

How are you able to count how many is online and not boxing? There isnt even an indication at the server select screen (unless there was finally a population count added in somehow, but still you would have no idea how many were boxed and werent)

There isn't a way to tell, I should have worded that better. There were 160 on and of those I don't know how many were boxed.

The quitting posts have begun, at least. I haven't actually logged in since like Wednesday and probably never will again, but the population was visibly shrinking by the day before I gave up on that parody of a server.

Fun fact: years ago toop (kegz) and his girlfriend joined dark ascension, they went on their first ever boss raid, the target was vox, despite the fact that toop was only an app , had never attended a raid before, and knew nothing about everquest raiding, he got extremely upset and offended that he wasn't awarded any loot from vox, the sad part is that he wasn't even kidding, he seriously thought that he should have been awarded loot over everyone else, feeling wronged he left DA and formed peace pipe to rival DA, and we all know how that worked out

The fact that this guy tried to make his own server in a similar rage then what happened there is hilarious, toop is just not competent enough in the least bit to even dream of having a server that isn't completely laughable, id take it as a parody and log on just to see how shitty a server can be when its ran by an idiot

He's obviously put the time in to get the server up and running. I guess an amount of time on the EQemu forums can teach the basics of bringing up a server (see the "green" or "white" servers at the server select).

But yeah, I didn't know it was Toop for sure to begin with...and its a matter of time before Velious launches here (no rush however) and it'll look like the 3rd best choice for a Velious box (behind the 2 P99 servers).

An update from me. Currently I am still playing on the Sleeper as of today. I got my shaman and sk to level 14.

I made another new gamebreaking discovery today on pets. Apparently pets won't hit for their max damage when they fight a mob higher than the pet level. For example, if your pet is level 20 and it fights a level 15-19 mob it hits it for 26 max damage. But if it fights a level 20+ mob it hits it for only 16 damage max. No idea how that got screwed up but it is and this holds true to all pets. Even my level 9 SK pet is hitting most mobs for only 12 damage max instead of 14 (it hits greens and maybe light blues for 14 max).

I brought this up in ooc this morning and immediately get told to shutup by 2 or 3 people. Apparently they dont want you to address your concerns in ooc concerning matters that could help fix their server. So far, a few bad seeds in their community has been my worst experience there so far.

New bug today in South Karana. I was doing Quillmane with the help of a 30+ friend who boxes a mage/enc. To make a long story short, we had 3 Quillmanes up all at once...and im not even joking here. Both of our toons got cloaks in 1 hour max, lol.

I've petitioned and bugged that. If I post that on their forums there so many people would exploit it because they know that it wont be addressed for awhile. Speaking of their forums, notice how there are more bug threads than general threads? That's not a good sign.

I may keep playing for a few more days to see if it gets any better. I'll keep ya updated.

Yep I didn't get the toxicity of the ooc over there. Whenever I mentioned a bug, the XP rate or any other ongoing issue with something that wasn't right I was met with a similar response. Inevitably it's the internet so I began to troll ooc on a monk alt with fake bugs/reports to the point of comedy.

If there's any enjoyment to be had out of the server it's trolling the easily trollable ooc'ers who think they're gods or something.

Has anyone been banned yet? If P99 goes down at any point I'd be up for going back over there to report bogus issues...anything to cause a stir.
