No one, in this day and age, that remembers original EQ, has the time required to sit through 500 hours of grinding, JUST to possibly find some PvP.

Sorry, but if you are here JUST to find some pvp, you got the wrong game and EMU.

Get that through your skull. This project is about classic EQ as a whole, NOT "just some pvp".

I hear there are already some lvl 50's on legacy of zek, you should check it out.

I have to repeat this: IF you are not a fan of 1999 style classic EQ... GTFO.

Guess Holocaust shouldn't have cheated then quit as a result. Maybe there would still be a guild to contest against Nihilium. It's on the players as a whole for not playing, banding together and giving Nihilium a run for their money, not Nihilium's fault for guild inviting players that want to hit end game content.

Founding fathers has/had been trying to fight back against them. Unfortunately too many people bitched out of the server to give them enough of a population to recruit from now. At least they were still on the server this long after so many quit, so a great big kudo's to them for trying to keep the pvp dream alive. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

And fyi, your face is a sham.

classic red EQ was just not for them. This is a niche of a niche of a niche. The wise understood this from the get go.

The wise also appreciate that the devs of this project put the work in to put this up for those of us that do appreciate this authentic 1999 style red legit server.

Some are just not upto the challenge. Thats ok. There is always legacy of zek. (lol)

I just don't get how the devs sit idly by and have nothing to say regarding any of these comments. The board is FILLED with absolute negativity about the server, before it was a select group of VERY vocal people doing the talking-- now it has slowly grown into even the most dedicated people starting to become doubters..

A simple forum search will show you that most of the dev work is going towards releasing Velious on Blue, let's not forget that Red99 is the red headed step child of Project1999. Even the blue players are complaining about lack of content at this point, it seems like a lot to manage for the current staff and they don't seem very trustworthy of new additions to their team which causes a problem.

History has shown that the devs have attempted to apply the same logic on Red as they did on Blue, it just doesn't work and something needs to be done to save the pop, although I think it's too late.

Two very simple questions to this problem that can fix it with minimal effort:

What can the devs do to promote new players joining the server??
A: Increase XP by A LOT, even if it's just weekend based.. it needs to be done. Most of the people that played classic EQ are grown ass adults now with different priorities, and have been changed to expect WoW type EXP and progression, nobody especially new players want to grind this shit out at such a horrendous pace.

What can the devs do to bring back the 50s that quit that don't logon anymore??
A: Content, YT, Leaderboards, things that engage the population

Any further non-action from devs further reiterates the point they either just don't care, or don't have the time but boosting EXP and adding things that have been done I can't imagine take up that much time...

Server pop is <30 boys, what's it going to be.. keep doing what you've been doing and expecting different results is insanity.. we just don't think you care anymore but am surprised that you don't take any onus on yourselves with the population dropping so drastically, like it or not your name is attached to the project.

[hagard]

Fuk it let the retards argue while population continues to drop enjoy your "classic" server with 30 people

The devs aren't making a server to cater to whiny pussies.

You already trolled them into global ooc and massively increased experience.

You all still cried like little kids who didn't get candy at the checkout. It's pathetic.

You were told what this server was going to be when you came here. You knew this was going to be modeled after Project1999, not failbox shit vztz(it died for a reason, it was a joke)

You still came. You still cried.

It takes a special kind of retarded mongoloid to be told what you're getting into, and then cry about what you got into once you did.

[hagard]

Shouldn't have trusted blubies to make a red server

[hijinks]

I personally don't play because of the domino effect of other people quitting, nobody wants to play on a box by themselves.. I'd like to see things done to cater to the population that quit, really I could care less.. I'm just amazed that the population has dropped so drastically and the people behind the project act like it does not matter to em, they can't force people to play but they can surely take on suggestions and TRY things, whats the worse that can happen? it doesn't work? switch it back.. not a big deal.. the alternative is the pop keeps dropping and they eventually just shut down the server
