Trying to say the current population of Red is indicative to amount of sentiment people have for EverQuest pvp is silly - since the P99 devs screwed up their PVP code / policies right from the birth of the server.

Red can never fail. Red can only be failed.

If you weren't around for classic EQ pvp days, like Rallos, Sullon, Vallon / Tallon Zek then you really have no clue.

Also, trying to compare Eve to EQ? lol... two totally different games. I'm sure Eve does have good PVP, along with a ton of other games. This does not mean that EQ doesn't also have good PVP.

End game EQ pvp is about zone control and denying resources to your opponents. Locking down raid targets / zones through PVP. Blue, Green & Red are all the same timeline and same content, the only difference is Red has 1 additional feature with PVP. Red allows players to solve issues through force of arms. You know, like how a fantasy roleplaying game based on swords & sorcery SHOULD BE. Blue & Green requires mommy & daddy to get involved after much crying. Try to guess which has the most man-children.

i'm talking about now, in 2024 not when people literally didn't have other options other than staying playing UO at the time. or Anarchy Online, the better pvp game at the time of eq

this thread is called solving the blue issue, not hey remember when this dumpsterfire of a game actually had players


hope this helps

If you want to solve a perceived population issue merge blue and green. Leave red to be red.

Surely there's some in the top raiding blue/green guilds who actually don't want any merges? Thought about that?

here's how you solve it

stop playing a 60 year old game and actually go do something

Your "blue issue" is the same as the red issue. Both are population issues. You generalized EverQuest PVP by saying it sucks based on low population numbers from Red. Your same logic could be applied to blue & green.

eq is a terrible pvp game, i know this to be true because only like 5 people on the entire planet give a fuck about it

Here I fixed this quote for ya:

World of Warcraft is 3,625x more that and has 940,000 people online right now. there's like 10 other games built from the ground up for PvE that also has people playing them.

Project 1999 everquest has 1,000 people ... spread across 3 servers. That's 0.01% of WoW's active subscriber base of 7.25 million players.

Clearly EQ PvE sucks. I know this to be true because only like 0.0000001% people on the entire planet give a fuck about it.

Maybe just recognize that nobody gives a shit about EQ and just merge all the servers so that the few nerds in the world that still care can have a population to play with.

[Ekco]

yeah, a thousand still playing green, 2 thousand peak playing THJ before PoE2 launched yesterday and whatever Quarm still has.

and anyone even remotely into elf sim pvp is playing ashes of creation.


people give a shit about everquest pve, and people give a shit about pvp.

only 6 people on the planet give a shit about pvp in everquest.

Aint no fixin anyfing.
Play p1999 for what it is. A museum piece that the devs try (despite players' attempts to add luclin/custom/etc) to true to history.
Sure, changes were made cuz players found ways to trivialize/exploit the 25 yr old code.

People bitching about the current condition of the server pop is prolly around second last on the list of dev priorities.

Play. Be happy. If <exploit guild> keeps poopsocking the same old content for their 50th (BIS) alt take it as a failing on their part and let the baby have its bottle.

I know this will not help.

[Duik]

Feel free to make your own server.
Exactly how you envision it.
Or shut the hell up and play this one, as is. Or not. But just please choose one.

Things are fine.
