Population falling?

[Sporkotron]

I'm so glad the people in thread going on and on about how great 2-boxing is will never be in charge of a drive thru window, let alone p99.

I swear lately this forum has turned in to a retard convention. "Durrr.... We should be able to 2-box." "Duuuuhhhh..... I want space cats." "Uuuuuhhh... we ned new server! uh oh I shit myself."


That's all of you, that's how you sound.

I am conflicted. On one hand I agree with you. I think 2-boxing is a bad idea like you do. On the other hand, I also think we need a new server.

If you say so..

That's less than you've been averaging lately.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Was kidding, completely wrong.

Too late to back out of the truth now. Once you shine the light, what has been revealed can never be hidden again.

New server splits the population, low population makes EQ suck nuts. Pretty simple.

Might be better for raiders who want less contested camps, but it would be shit for everyone else.

You got to account for other details that would occur with a new server starting up.

How many new people would come knowing a new server was starting? How many old players would come back knowing they had a chance to start fresh again? How many established players on the old P99 server would go?

So many other pieces to the equation you have to consider other than the assumption a new server would lessen the total population of all servers involved.

No way in knowing that either, exactly how many would split from one to a new server...

I think it's more complicated than just saying, "New server = less populated server = bad EQ for all."

Agree'd. We don't need a new server.

And no boxing either, wth?

and how many of those people would quit when they realized its the same as p99 is now. Hardcores will have everything locked down and casuals will be wanting to do things that they missed.

It's that way now. You can't escape the struggle between hardcores and casuals anyway.

What would change is the dynamics of the server such as economy, and a bustling server population that always comes with a new server on any game.

Sure, over time the new server would grow wrinkled and old, just like we people do... but young and fresh is always exciting.

A new server wouldn't hurt anything.

You seem to think that there are people interested in classic EQ who aren't already playing on p99 and that a new server would convince them to play on p99.

There aren't. There are a lot of people on this forum that think there are tons of people like them who are far enough along the spectrum to keep tabs on p99 but refuse to play on it because reasons. But that is like half a dozen malcontent shut ins who think they number in the hundreds.

Everyone who is interested is already playing, nobody is coming back for a new server, nobody would take interest if they already haven't just because a new server started up.
