Im not threatning to quit, i quit already. Just saying why i quit, because all i wanted in november was for this server to be popular and have fun on it. So i do care about the server enough to give feedback.

"We (myself included) begged and pleaded the devs for a chance at getting back into classic PvP EQ, and now that we have it you seem to hate it"

No matter what people like Cast and you say, xp loss is having an effect on the frequency of pvp happening, im pretty sure of it. This is nothing like Rallos, we dont "have it". You dont have people staying in the same zone and fighting for hours. I have literally seen this 0 times, never.

I had to fight and kill Jaleean many, many times last night. All we did was fight, esp after he bound in the zone and rushed me with dispels.

In my opinion, armageddon threads like this are hurting the population. We can advertise it and hopefully get some new players.. but when those advertisements lead to stuff like this? Ugh, lol.

You people are never going to be content with this. We (myself included) begged and pleaded the devs for a chance at getting back into classic PvP EQ, and now that we have it you seem to hate it. Posters like oldfish threaten to quit every other day. What gives?

This certainly isn't bringing any new players in. And if you don't like the server because of some perceived issue with the game, the least you could do is be constructive and polite about it. The devs don't owe us anything, however you may feel.

Are you all just complaining to pass the time? Are you capable of enjoying anything?

Nell is having a blast. Would you care to join me? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i agree with this, having 3 threads a day pop up about the server population dropping will ultimately drive people away. no one wants to play by themselves. i will be content with population above 150 to be honest, as long as there's competition. that's not to say that i prefer the population to be lower. i'd be much happier with 300+. i ultimately just think the grind is too much for most players who haven't played eq in a long time.

True!!!!!!

Also you can't have every little aspect of every mechanic exactly what you want. Accept it, give constructive feedback or move on.

We require teams. Then give each of the 3 teams a team-wide /ooc.

Not enough population for teams imo

As for other opinions:
* PvE exp loss is dominant in PvP battles --The current hot topic is why population is dropping. Most sources point to exp loss on pvp. I personally believe it's not so much PvP exp loss, but the PvE exp loss. As classic as this factor may be, honestly, what % time in pvp have you guys actually been slain by a player? Most of the time, you're ganked when fighting a mob (such is my luck, even on my necro). I'm not so much worried about dying in pvp, more so simply getting snared and letting a mob kill me. And I know once I go back, there's a giant chance that it will happen a 2nd time. Harsh and demoralizing. No one wants to regain this lost exp that you spent hours collecting in your short-lived time compared to the oldschool days where our lives were EQ.

If you disagree, did you experience the classic adventure by leveling normally, or did you burst through any lvls via cb belts, pads, scalps, etc? How many levels honestly did you burst through levels via exp quests to level faster?

* Classic grind is not euphoric anymore --Someone mentioned the glitter of the euphoric classic days when p99 blue first came out. As much as we loved that, most of us here ALREADY grinded through the p99 blue server and have to all start over, all burned out, and already had THE classic experience. People just want to have the classic experience.... just with a few tweaks. All of us, almost guaranteed all of us, are from p99 blue that are here right now. People arguably don't want to grind at lower lvls to get where the action and fun stuff is at when they JUST probably got lvl 50 on their p99 blue char. Keep the holiday bonus in the game and it's still slow as hell, but you feel good seeing your exp bar move slightly more than usual.

* Holiday season [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Don't forget that a lot of people are taking a EQ break. Surely pop will go up a bit after this.

* Altered P99 -- Some people are still stuck with the mindset that things are "NOT CLASSIC!" but in reality, a lot of things that are implemented that are not classic are keeping people here. What would you do if you couldnt see the dot tick dmg? see the magical ding gfx that make you feel warm and fuzzy? The new LFG system to help us group without giving away too many game secrets (location info) / spam that world chat can bring? (I was for OOC, but now i'm not with the LFG system in place after considering someone entering the zone and someone saying "XX name in zone!" to the world). And a few things in the future, perhaps. We've had the classic experience .. now how about the classic experience a bit tweaked for the sake of our pleasant experience instead. You guys ever play Ocarina of Time recently after remembering how cool it was? ..Not that cool as it was in my memory .. could use some tweaks to make my experience better [You must be logged in to view images.
