Recent Decline In Population
 

I remember when Kunark released, I logged on to the server screen just to see how many people were online on a Sunday night and there were about 1200 people online. I was like, OMFG!!!

A couple weeks later, I did the same thing on a Sunday night.....there were over 1100 people online.

When I started playing again in May, over 1,000 were online on that particular Sunday night.

Yesterday, I logged on and noticed that there were 710 people online, which by no means is a low population for a private server, but it brings up the question, where did 300-500 people go in such a short amount of time? This is not a one time affair, it seems to be decreasing on a weekly basis. I understand the "newness" of the Kunark release wearing off, but c'mon.....

I am eager to hear Norrath's opinion on this. I guess it would be a waste of time to ask that everyone keep the flaming to a minimum?

Fippy -> Kunark

Release of an expansion means everyone wants to try it but doesn't mean anyone is going to play past day 1. The population before Kunark's release was just around 700-800.

Also, Fippy.

....How come I don't "get" the Fippy thing....?

Fippy Darkpaw the Timelocked Progression Server released by SoE to reboot their "version" of EQ Classic and beyond, releasing expansions every so often.

People wanted a fresh start again so they went to Fippy.

Oh.....never heard of it.....lots of people went there, huh? :(

Why do I get the odd feeling we are now being trolled and this is a ploy to get people interested in Fippy.

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE...

I take it they still used their "new zones" and faster experience gain, etc?

Nah. Delete this thread if you think that.
