The real reason the population is declining is...

What a great observation!

Thanks for setting me up - I'll take it from here. No, really. Thanks buddy. Yep, I'll just take that microphone. Just head on to the back now. That way - yep.

Everyone, let's get a big round of applause for Lazortag! He sure writes eloquently, doesn't he?


Now that we've got to the meat and potatoes of the problem, I'd like to take it one step farther. See, the reason blue players don't complain about exp and red players do is explained fully in a recent study I conducted. Turns out, there are some very distinct differences between the average "bluebie" and a veteran red server player.

On average, most red server players:

• Have actual jobs
• Don't live with their parents
• Have had sex at least once
• Don't want to PvE for 300 hours just to get a meal ticket to PvP
• Preferred global chat channels over lonely "immersion"
• Are 99.7% better at PvP

Server confirmed dead because I have too much work/school to be online every day.

WIPE IT CLEAN.

One more thing.

The inescapable truth is that classic exp and classic mechanics in general were too challenging for most of you.

Challenging, you say.

I'd love to hear what part of "classic exp" is challenging. Would that be auto-attacking the 500th gnoll in the same boring zone, by yourself, so you can get that final tick of exp to level to 10?

What other hobbies do you have pose this kind of challenge? Maybe a staring contest with a doll? See how long you can watch paint dry before you fall asleep?

or perhaps it is inconsequental during the course of standard not die a dozen times in ten minutes play and starts to add up when you decided to throw your corpse at the enemy as quickly as you can respawn?

i know you have posted that you want to be able to get killed 15 times during the course of an evening of "pvp" and have it mean nothing, but most everyone else, even the shitty warcrafter types try not to dirtnap instead of rushing headlong into it like a retard.

took me around 9 days played to get 50, folks whining about "im level 10 after 6 and a half years of playing" are both stupid and melodramatic, even most casuals are in their mid 30s now if they started on launch.

Its not logical, if people dont care about xp loss, its not a deterrent.

They cant be both at the same time, its simple.

And there it is.

XP loss is a deterrent, but it shouldn't be because it's negligible. Why people even cry about it I have no clue...but listening to them you'd think it was a big deal.

So...it works...but it shouldn't. Go figure.

Thats exactly what i want, if a group killed me to take my spot at 2am in the morning, and its 4v1 and im bored and theres nothing else to do, i should be able to go back there and guerilla harass them as long as i want.

You know, like it was on Rallos.

Or maybe i should get a yellow or 2 of xp loss and decide this just isnt fun and quit the server. Im betting this happened to many people that just didnt leave any feedback on the forum.

Most casuals just aren't playing at all because no one wants to spend 216 hours watching paint dry.

In between troll threads like this and Rogean not even posting in this forum, I'm officially bitter.
