WTB: Content

[heartbrand]

Thankfully EQ is a mmorpg which means you cannot beat the game, you cannot win, there are no game created goals or what not, it's up to each individual player to create his own goals and definitions of victory / fun. In this case the vast majority of the players are saying we want changes which will encourage PVP for the sake of PVP. The tribe had spoken destin, please bring me your torch, it's time for you to leave.

Here is a simple solution:

Make news of a 200-300% xp bonus a week ahead of time before it goes live. Implement it for ONE month, consider and look at the turnout if it doesn't improve population, scrap it.. if it does, let it linger another month and hopefully it motivates more people to play.

I've leveled multiple 50s, it's not terribly hard but then again they were all casters. I could care less if they implement an xp bonus for a month or two if it actually brings new players into the world, I don't care for it if it's just going to make people level up alts faster. It would need to be something closely monitored by devs, but I believe giving a several week advance notice of it would help turn players to it.

I was against it initially, but really it is obvious the server is in dire need of something that would shock the population or any potential players, and that would be a serious EXP bonus. I know it goes against the grain of classic, but classic pop was never 40 people on primetime. For the people that say it devalues their time or the time it took them to get 50, who seriously gives a shit when this server has basically turned into a single player experience?

I'll sum it up with one quote:

"Drastic times calls for drastic measures"

I've also agreed on an xp bonus and stated in a couple of post's that I disagreed with Rettiwalk.

I've been working on trying to get new player's, hopefully if they decide to make it a bit easier to level it will be easier for me and most others to attract new players and returning players to come back. The server will become more populated and later on due to the high pop rate will end up getting an expansion, work's out for everyone imo. The first step is convincing the higher up's to boost the xp.

Good sir-- there is not a PvP death corpse of Hijinx on this server. Period. I'd even go as far to say that they can't even dig one up through their logs, it. just. doesn't. exist.

But yea. deadbox =/

I just think if nothing drastic is done that people have been jumping up and down shouting and yelling for, then it's painfully obvious free or not, that the devs here are a bunch of knuckle-hard-headed people that only want to do things their way or the highway.

That type of ideology does not breathe life into the server and only detracts from players confidence in anything ever being done or changed. I log in every now and then and immediately log off with absolutely no motivation to play. PvPing the same 40 people is not something I'm interested in. I never played on a previous EMU and took this project on die hard dedicated, and unfortunately as much as I hate to admit they had a point or their method of delivering it, many players that have quit here were right and almost prophesied the eventual state of red99. Any further non-action will continue to dwindle the population until you just have a handful of players that are content with farming content by themselves. Sounds like fun.

And this is exactly the type of server some of the nihilum talkin heads are trying desperately to create.

must be that time of day for jdklaw to come on board and start shouting mad and angry at everyone in every thread with multiple uninteresting jpegs to mask his own anger
