Why do you think the population is sinking once more ?

I have to be honest here, if you can't deal with that stuff a little bit it's going to be tough to stick it out here for the long haul. I find a big part of the problem is people play on R99 like its P99...they congregate in the most optimal zone like Crushbone, Unrest or MM and never utilize underpopulated zones in the same level range like RE, Paw, Befallen, etc. The supertwink pvpers are like sharks coming in looking for the schools of baitfish. Don't be a baitfish.

The baitfish will get more XP in one night with a full group in CB, Unrest, MM, COM than they will soloing for a month in unpopular zones.
I'll take my chances in the popular zones hoping the twinks don't show up or the group can fight them off.

Sometimes just a thick skin is needed. Most of the twinks are decent peeps once you get to know them a little.

The community.

I didn't read thread, but I'm usually unopposed to wipes on these boxes in general. There have been so many issues trying to get this server to the relatively un-exploitable place it's at now.

Like the invis pulling trivialized VP, fungi camp, and dozens of other important camps really early on.

The only catch is I wouldn't play that much anymore if it stayed in Kunark with a wipe or any type of thing Kergan mentioned.

The majority of this community is painstakingly toiling away in Kunark content when it's all been done and seen for years. Velious is titties, and we want to see it.


I do think some of the more hardcore players that are generally terrible for this community overall left because resists and melee are pretty out of sync with how live was. You can see the empirical evidence of that in mass PvP.

Those 45v50's or even numbered fights with the 2 top tier guilds fighting took 5 minutes. It's because nukes can melt people, and melee can shred people right now.

Battles like that took hours on live for one side to come out on top. That's a large majority of what's missing from this server - there's very little sustainability on any character with the way melee and resists operate here.

Also the 5% interrupt per hit on players is pretty ridiculous. Warriors kick stun and crippling blow stun lock is retarded.

There are a lot of little things (relative to the problem with the population) that could improve the PvP scene as a whole, but it would take some big overhauls from Alecta or whomever is doing changes now.

We have global ooc for a reason. Form a group and go somewhere. A group uninterrupted in a suboptimal zone will get more exp then a group in a hotspot getting PVP'd 25% of the time.

Wipe it and make it a progression server culminating on a Velious release..... Using the appropriate timeline from live. Bottom line, no one will quit, all guilds will be even again and everyone who is new in the last couple years gets to experience classic again. If you don't the sever dies over the next couple of years because NOTHING is going to change.

With a bad connection here at a hotel i can't login often to the red server or with up to 80 tries. There is no problem with the blue one to login though he has a much higher population. But for the red one i need up to 45 minutes to make it. What is wrong with the red server? I am perhaps not the only one who has this problem. Oh and i am new here with 2 months and one week playing and i like it very much.
