Did something happen?

What I noticed was that the server population went up during the long holiday XP bonus that lasted from Christmas to New Years Day. A lot of people taking time off work and an XP bonus made the increased server population logical for that period. But I always thought that the moment January 2nd came around the population would go back down to pre-Christmas averages. But so far they have remained higher then I expected.

I think it's a combination of two things. One is the time of year. Winter in cold climate areas will tend to keep people looking for indoor entertainment. And second is maybe some people got so much XP grinding in during the holiday bonus time that they are still in high play time mode even though the XP is back to normal.

DanTDM did a p99 video. He was AMAZED coz it was SO COOL GUYS!

New player here. I knew about P99 since 2012 or so but never had the time do play it because other games interested me more. Now I have the time and really enjoy it!

I think if Chinese Plat farmers show up, P99 will just blanket ban Chinese IPs

this server has had some of the most twisted megolaminical manaics farming plat for thousands of straight hours, and you're worried about the chinese?

After returning from a 5-6 month break and seeing the population explosion and after being back in game for a month part of the increase is a sadly a new influx of boxers.

Like many of us I enjoy this server and the last thing I want to see is it trashed by a bunch of people from WoW or the daybreak servers playing boxes moving in. Really hope someone drops the hammer on these guys, and does so rather quickly.

All these new players avoid grouping with people because they busy playing with themselves.

It really upsets me too.

Most of em are boxing tunnel rats imo. Nobody is going to convince me that someone who's on 7 days a week for 12+ hours a day trying to resell the same low end items for 100-200plat over the going rate for weeks is only playing that character.

A lot of players that take a break from the game to play something else can easily set up a laptop to tunnelquest with next to their gaming comp. I've bought and sold a lot of crap while playing Total War: Warhammer. The boxing issue is pretty rampant though, especially after the rash of free level 35 druids that the server handed out with the bread delivery quest. I honestly don't know how Dial A Port can compete. That's not to mention the stone cold quiet Anon druids that are PL'ing melee alts in WAY too many zones.
