The reason there are less people here than blue is very, very simple.

The answer? PVP.

Red has roughly 1/10th the population at any given time (at least lately) in regards to blue.

RZ was the only PVP server at launch, and there were at least 10 active blue servers by the end of the pre-Kunark era. RZ consistently had the lowest population.

The ratio is probably better here than it ever was on live. It is just a fact of life that <10% of people want to play on a PVP server. When you have a total active population that leads to about 1300-1400 being online at peak times you're going to have 130-140 peaks on red, shit is classic.

PVP is less popular than PVE? Im glad youre here to tell us these things. Chewie, take the professor in the back and plug him into the hyperdrive.












Seriously its how Heartbrand put it, and why i made the thread i made. Server is old now so most of the living souls are up top. No item loot makes it that the people youll run into will most likely be bored twinks that will never risk any gear griefing lowbies. So itd be in the server best interest to speed up 1-50.

And chewie stop being silly theres 75 people logged on on a saturday afternoon, shits dead as fuck, wake up.

At the whole ? Yes.

But if i look at me, i am on blue currently simply because i couldnt stand it anymore to solo the whole time, ist so fucking boring and i just cant stand this. I am more of a group player. But sitting there hour after hour, killing some blue mobs with an char i normaly just dont want to play - but HAVE TO, just because you MUST play an char who can solo - just sucks.

And i doubt i am the only one thinking like this.

That is the downside on this server. You almost have to have a solo class to play around on while you are waiting for groups. People will sympathize with you and give out some gear/buffs but you really need someone to PL you or level with you all the way through to play certain classes.

The exp bonus is significant and helps you push through it. Guilds like Nilly, RD and maybe even Azrael will power level you if you show dedication and may be an asset to the guild. Gream is an example of this type of player.

As for a casual player with no friends on the server playing a solo class is your only option.

This is why I refer to Chewie as the AIDS of the box.

"After Chewie enters the server, it piggybacks onto a T cell and works its way inside of that cell. Once inside, the virus completely takes over the T cell and uses it as a virus-making factory to make a lot of copies of itself. The newly made viruses then leave the T cell and go on to infect and destroy other healthy T cells as they continue to multiply inside the body. T cells invaded by the virus can no longer properly fight infections."

Can't argue with it. It doesn't think, it doesn't reason. Its soul purpose to exist is to harm and spread its decaying infection.
