That guy killed your seafury? Hold on with that petition Jimmy, you can solve this yourself....

Because there are no players.

Honestly Swish, I've spent a lot of hours at Seafury Island (fairly recently, like a month ago), and only once have I ever seen a guide come out. When they did it was because one guy was clearly KSing multiple people, and the guide showed up a few minutes after the petitions started and kicked him off. They also kicked off one of the petitioners who got mouthy (as they should have).

The point being, in the easily 40+ hours I've spent in total on Seafury island, I've never had an experience even close to the one you're referencing. Stick to picking on the raid scene ;)

[mickmoranis]

Out of curiosity what is the average population of the SF island in Oot on blue?

[totmanc]

How I used to do seafuries on red99.

1) Charm the Allizewsaur.
2) Pull all of them
3) kill those that opposed me

[mickmoranis]

hmm this is how I did seafuries

Its not honest, more just pandering to blue perceptions of red in an entertaining way :D

[mickmoranis]

so anyway, 40 plat per min, seem good?

I like it cus its guaranteed too, none of that RNG bullshit to really fuck up your literally 8 hour straight camp of the Hherophant.

Really depends on the time of day/day of the week. If I had to guess an average across all times ... 4 or 5 maybe? Like one near Gornit, one at the highest point, one on the backside of the isle with that Ogre, and then possibly one across the goblins from the Gornit one or possibly a second one in the high area.

I'm just imagining a half-man half-koi fish sitting at a desk unable to play EQ

jeeze its a waste of time to farm sf's if there is 1 other person even in oot let alone 4 others farming sf's, if only there were a way to split the population up a bit :rolleyes:

/shrug

I can still get about 1k/hour if there's 3 or less, or sometimes even 4 or 5 if they're low-level or don't know the island well. And if there's too many people I just log off and play an alt for awhile.

So basically you can play on a server with other human beings, and have 3-4 people each sharing the island and making 1k/hour or close to it, or you can have a few more people making a bit less (but everyone still making enough to keep playing) ... or you can play with by yourself and if someone else comes along risk having them kill you and take your camp. Tough decision.

[mickmoranis]

You missed the opportunity to say "at least there are other players to buy stuff from with the plat I farm."

[mickmoranis]

Its a shame they shut down cross server transfers, that'd me farming on SF isle is 120 plat per minuet with the 3x transfer ratio.

I'm sure that's a major reason why they shut them down.

Personally I just can't wait for Agnar/Discord/Recycle(Green) servers to lure enough people off Blue to where the server is a bit quieter. Not down to Red levels of course, but I feel like maybe 700 would be the optimal number for being able to find open camps easily while still having someone to group with/sell to.

Or, alternatively, if Blue got up to say 1400 average pop and they split the server in to two, that would work too :)

I know I managed to trade 95k blue for 33k red or something through Nocsucow not long before the Dow Jones closed permanently on it. There were times when I wanted to go the other way if I was saving for something on blue - it was great to have, and also it was a population booster for red as it allowed both new players to get a bit of a headstart and item farmers/traders to help with the economy.

One of red's weaknesses is the lack of availability on low end items (oracle/advisor robes, starter weapons, etc). If the tunnel fat cats ever got bored making an extra 10 million plat on blue, red would certainly see more trade for them.

yeah, form where I stand it is worth the headache to have server transfers. I understand the reason (at least the ones given) why they put an end to it but I think the cost of doing so results in an overabundance of junk people just let rot and destroy on blue and a lack of players on red. I think the entire project would benifit if you could /transfer a character from red/blue or visa versa, but even just re-allowing cross server trades would be awesome. o wel

[Qtip]

I would quit blue if they allowed people to copy characters over. They would just grief raids by copying throw away accounts and grief every zone possible. Training raids and so on. Bad idea. Would wreck the integrity of this beautiful place.

Also dont allow cross server trading. People would just use it to hide Rmt and the GMs would have to do triple the work looking through logs.

I hope they never open another pvp/teams server. We need another blue server.

im fine with blue to red only. Quit crying about RMT its such a stupid reason to worry about this, i already said it was a problem that just isnt worth worrying about. Its very easy to just ban people over RMT but they dont, so they dont need to not allow transfers in the name of making it easier to weed it out.
