Server dying?

Maybe because people enjoy a fantasy world where killing a dragon is a rare and epic event more than one where any idiot can make a dragon magically appear at their whim by pressing a button?

Really you just summed up the entirety of why people still play classic EQ instead of all the more modern MMOGs. The modern MMOGs (including EQ 1.5, or whatever you want to call Agnarr) DO make things easier and more convenient ... and in the process they lose the fun that classic EQ still has.

Of course the server is slowly dying. There is absolutely zero chance to see most of the content unless you are in either Aftermath or Awakened, neither are willing to share, and staff seems to be fine with the situation. That means that anyone who are "casual" and want to experience classic raiding either looks to alternatives (Agnarr TAKP) or just slowly stop playing. Alternatively they give up and join A/A, but those guilds are also slowly loosing members because they have achieved it all, and "dominating" for most people stop being fun after 3-4-5 years of the same.
You could argue its natural on a dead end server, but this could easily be solved if staff, or A/A, had any interest - there just doesn't seem to be at the moment. Maybe the future will change things, until then I am sure we will continue to see a slow decline in population, spiking on earthquakes, and some sort of short-lived boost when/if custom content.

Are you shitting me? Do you know how many times and for how long dragons are in in ToV all fucking day that CSG could go get? Once again nobody is stopping you guys from killing anything. Even in the FTE running days, there would be 15 people on the line, 6 dragons in window and NOT 1 CSG running. Yet on the forums, it was whine whine whine or /petition /petition /petition. WTF dude. Take some responsibility

Yeah, and it's been "slowly dying" for eight years now, people sure don't like classic EverQuest [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

When you say "chance to see most of the content", you're talking about like one or two zones, and a few mobs in a handful of other zones, right? You really consider that "most of" the literally 100+ zones full of content on P99? Plus I'll never understand why it is such an issue for people to have to join top guilds to see top content. It's like ... imagine if only American and Hawaiian Airlines flew to Hawaii, but you have hella miles with Southwest, so you cry that it's impossible for you to go to Hawaii. Um no, actually it's not, you just have to join the other people who want to go to Hawaii on their airline/guild.

Unless your problem isn't really which airlines are flying, it's the fact that you can't afford a ticket (ie. you're too casual) ... in which case you're basically arguing that because you can't afford a ticket to Hawaii, no one else should get to go to there (well, unless airlines start giving everyone free tickets). And you're also arguing that because you can't afford a ticket to Hawaii, that means the whole airline system/game is broken and it's impossible for you to take a vacation (never mind the fact that you can still afford to fly to California, Florida, New York, etc. ... ie. you can still have fun in the 95-odd other zones in the game).

Dude, you just perfectly described the liberal agenda in the United States. /victim

Late 2010 definitely. Seeing 600 was a big thing.

Also I remember zoning into Mistmoore on my first main (a troll SK) and there not being anyone in there :/

Perspective....in Oct 2009 we had 80-100 peeps and I felt like it was great back then! I don't think we went over 200 until Dec or January.
