Suggested new policy: ban everyone who makes a low pop thread.

Shit is annoying and made at least once a day.

its the beginning of the server, back when i started on p99, back in feb 2010, the pop was only 400 or so, and we had global ooc back then, its the start of the server, we're what, now onto the 2nd month, things will either pick up or it wont, but im not worried, im having fun

I think the thought process behind these threads is that because project 1999 is pretty popular already, it was assumed that p99red would piggy back off that success. I feel that, at this point the population wont rise that much higher. I think the people that are aware of the server are playing on it. There might be a small group of players that want to EQPVP but don't know about project 1999 red, but it's probably like 10-50 players max. I wouldn't get your hopes up on a larger population.

EDIT: I make this assumption based on the current rule set. There may be a group of players (again probably 10-50 max) that aren't playing due to various rules or conditions (exp rate/resist tables etc..)

150+ is fine with me until kunark releases then it will be bad

Well it looks like a group just started last week, that militia guild. Small groups like that will come from time to time. I heard about p1999 originally from a youtube video. I was checking out trailers for new games and found someone talking about p1999 in the description. It's random how people find out about it.

There's just a huge playerbase that doesn't like FFA pvp. Not saying put it in, it's too late for that, but team rules would have netted a lot more attention

I agree. I'm currently excited when I see my spawn not being camped so I can level up. I spent an hour the other day fighting over a spot. The PvP was fun but by the time I won the spawn I had to log off about 15 minutes after I had it. With old world there aren't that many places to level. If there are 200 people on then there should be around 20 people fighting over the best exp spots within your level range (if population is evenly distributed). Obviously this will change once the server gets older and more people will be at high level.

Having even 75 level 42-50's on at once in the old world on a pvp server should be congested enough. That's a lot of people with few zones to be productive in. Also it is easy for scouts to find guilds they don't like with the small world.

Once expansions start hitting the population will be spread pretty thin.. but it also seems to give the population a boost to even it out.

Out of curiosity - wasn't the exp raised by 25% anyways? It is now January 3 and I never saw a message saying it was taken away. The exp bonus also never said it was temporary - it just happened to say happy holidays at the end of the message.

this is all true.
