i really don't see this patch increasing pop more than 5 people

It will bring back 20 or so Nihilum who prob just aren't logging on due to lack of content.

So yeah bring back more Nihilum from blue w000000t

Last round of exp increase did nothing for population because it still takes 150 hours to hit 50 without a PL.

Also, I notice its all casters/solo classes that are saying "exp is fine!".

Also people who leveled to 50 before pop took a shit or got PL'd all the way there.

that's because the grind is hardest starting about 35+ and on, especially 40+ and at that point the exp bonus is almost reduced to 0, coupled with the fact a solo melee at 40 with exp bonus is still a solo melee

nihilum too because they dont want raid competition

they dont want pvp they want a dead server with no pve competition so they can twink up and feel good about it


in closing id like to say global ooc going in now when no one is left is just as fail as launching this and epics on the same day

at this point why bother doing anything , no one is left , no one has any faith in the staff and you may as well patch this the day they release diablo 3

you had time to do stufff to address the players and you didnt , you didnt care


i dont care either

i will never come back to this server ever due to poor management

Hahahahahahahaha +1 "you may as well patch this the day they release diablo 3"

Moving this over to discuss some ideas thrown at me:

Go back in time to pre-release, and make better decisions?

Global OOC going in with next patch (Level 10+), No @ YT, There's already an XP Bonus, will discuss hybrid penalty, will see about fixing mana on pvp death, I like the no binding in FFA zones - will ask nilbog his opinion, resist system is null, and we have more content being released on patch too.

no exp loss on pvp death: You guys can discuss that. It is currently serving multiple purposes of providing atleast something to deter people from bind rushing / kamikazing against odds, as well as giving people a reason to continue EXP Groups at 50. Toss out opinions though.

I don't have strong opinions on Global OOC, exp or the hybrid penalty. I think yellow text is a horrible idea for reasons that I already elucidated in several threads (and which were mostly ignored by the people trolling for YT). I think that exp loss on pvp deaths, and no binding in raid zones are unnecessary if you simply make casters go oom when they die in pvp. This is just how it was in classic, there was never a need to disable binding in raid zones or make people lose exp, because casters couldn't effectively bind rush with no mana. I think it's unfair to remove a unique ability of these classes (binding anywhere) when the less extreme, more classic deterrent to bind rushing (going oom after you die) hasn't been tried yet. Some zones were binding disabled on Live already (hate, sky, kunark dungeons, TD eventually) and so it should just stay that way - there's no need to disable binding in even more zones.

could implement /testbuff instant lvl 20 or 25 with basic gear. yes this is ez mode, not classic, ect ect ect. normally i would flame the hell out of someone who would suggest this but if you step out of that "not classic" mentalility and think about what the red server is supposed be then it kinda makes sense. 1-20 is literally just a time waste i mean unless you yearn for some Crushbone pvp theres no point. anyways just throwing out a far-fetched idea.

i agree with everything he said
global ooc is MUCH needed
YT will only make PVP more enjoyable

Hybrid exp is just ridiculous
even with the current exp mod implemented it still takes a long time to level up. especially for new players who aren't here with friends - they are very limited to certain classes that can solo (casters)

exp loss on pvp death is a bit ridiculous - the way to deter bind rushing is make it so no one can bind in FFA zones or adjacent zones (lavastorm, etc)

Resist fix is MUCH needed - hope the new system is good!

content ++++

No binding in raid zones - Yes
No Mana after PvP death - Yes
No XP Penalty for PvP - No. It's so small now it's a non-issue.
Remove Hybrid XP penalty - Yes
Non-PvP Zones - No, go to IRC if you want to idle without being PK'd.
