Why Do I Keep Reading That This Server is Dead?

[crunkfresh]

Honestly, have you guys never played other MMOs?

This server averages 700-750 people at peak hours. The first couple of nights it was 900-950. That's pretty fuckin' good. If you're comparing it to World of Warcraft I've got news for you, about 90% of their servers are way way worse off, they bost 8 million subs but that includes all the chinese farmers, bots, RAF accounts, dual account holders etc.

The only WoW servers significantly better off than this place are the big 4 - Mal'Ganis, Illidan, Tichondrius, and Kil'Jeaden. Any medpop server will see a noticable influx on Tues/Wed and Saturday, but the rest of the time the world feels just as "dead" as P99. Its worse on lowpop servers, what place I'm raiding currently you can do a /who 85 90 all and get about 60 results at peak play times. Not to mention that its fuckin' wow, so even on the big servers everyone is just AFK queuing in the main cities anyway. Here at least theres always a handful of people in most of the zones.

This is just comparing it to wow, pretty much all the other MMOS outside of EVE (since its one server) feel much, much worse to exactly the same as P99.

P99 will probably see a large influx of people logging on in August after EQ Next is announced, and even more if/when Vellious ever comes out. So, whats the deal? Are the complainers all Wowbros from Illidan? Or am I missing something here
