My 2 cents...
Well here it goes. I heard about Project 1999 through word of mouth and thought to myself hmmm why not, EQ was my favorite MMO to date let's give that a shot. So I did...
Well at first all was good, the community was great and in fact for the most part still is, with the exception of those who for some reason have to take their shortcomings in RL and implement it into a game. You know who you are, and we know who you are. So I decided to make a Mage having fun leveling up meeting new people all rolling smooth then the 50's hit and I started to see why this server is failing. IMO its failing because of lost "motivation". You see I was excited to do things on EQ I never experienced back on live for example being able to get my epic, do raid mobs ect... but when I realized this was more of a dream than reality I had to step back and decide is this for me? So I decided to log on blue and for the first time I am experiencing that original EQ nostalgia. Now I understand this is a PVP server and in all reality it should be "let the best man win" HOWEVER when you have only 120 people (lets be honest I see people "boxing" all the time) why is it allowed for one guild to have complete control of the server? if the population was greater then yes by all means free for all may the best man win. But for new people they level and they either app to a certain guild, move to blue or quit all together. What we really need is a way to Boost population, Yes, yes variance and taking down the tyrant is good great grand and all but the main problem here is Population. We really need to focus on ideas to make this a better & more fun environment for new players. We really need to think of ways to increase population. Hold events, Hell even the players could do this in game by holding fun events with gear giveaways or a certain top end guild could do the same for example sharing a dragon or 2? there will still be pvp but in the end if we all just worked together and stopped acting like ass hats I truly believe this server would grow in population. You see once you get up to 52 it stops being PVP and becomes target practice with almost 0 hope to improve your gear to compete. When you are 52 in mediocre gear and a 60 can just whack you once resist everything and loot and now make you scoot, well that's just no fun at all. So how do you fix this you move on to another server the sad broken record of red from what I can tell has been happening for a long time. So unless YOU THE PLAYERS can come together and make some sort of agreement to get along for a brief period of time and let some of the new players get those crumbs this server is destined to fail and eventually shuts down. Now I cant see the figures but obviously this cost money, I have donated myself. But I would almost bet that certain people have donated more and probably lots more what happens if they quit? and flat out are just tired with the game? server ceases to exist especially with only 100 people. So growing the population not only gives everyone a chance at some "dragons/Raid mobs", Epics and the ability to do Trade skills effectively in a sense it also will safeguard the server from eventual and most likely inevitable shut down. think about it. And make it happen so I can get my damn epic already. and incase you haven't seen it http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=133098 Clearly big things happening on blue as well regarding almost the same issue but the difference here is the GM's are giving the players the responsibility to make it happen, with a bit of motivation of course. why this doesn't happen here? I couldn't tell you. | ||

2cp doesn't even pay the ferry man anymore pal. Sorry.
I say just roll a dice or join Nihilum for their professional skills. If you like politics and drama Join RD. Or just join flowers and don't even worry about it. You got a 50+ mage by now I assume, you can have lots of fun on this server without extremely OP gear that's easy to farm/buy. And help people level/noobs gear along the way. It doesn't really matter where you do it as long as you keep the same spirit. It also sounds like you need to take a break from the game. It's probably a bit stale for you right now. Seeing the same people over and over. | ||

To me the server is done and done
Xp loss in pvp main reason both the loss of the 600 people we had at launch and Nihilum able to farm raid zones for a year+ because the cost to contest a zerg was too high for people to attempt it. Im no EQ expert, but variance seems to me like something that could start to address the mistakes they made that put Nihilum where it is now. They vetoed it. They also put this ridic PnP that removes part of the sandbox of EQ pvp where the players themselves dish out resolutions to problems instead of wtf petitioning a GM, all sorts of ramifications with forcing players to grant a zerg that has half the servers population loot and scoot rights that werent thought through, not headed to a fun place Either theyre clueless, dont give a fuck, whatever, i dont give a fuck myself | ||

I really don't see why everyone gets caught up in the drama of this server. Even when it has nothing to do with them other than raid gains. Sad thing is you need to join a raiding guild to get raid loot. Low populated server. You got 2 choices. People getting made and hating a whole guild because some dude killed you while doing a trade when you ran all the way across norrath and he was mad because you took so long( happened to me). Everyone here gets butt hurt over such a small amount of things. Does no one else get the rush when you are fighting a guy and your bind point is a long ways away? There is loss in this game that not many other pvp games even touch. You get a rush because you know you have a possibility of losing time/ money, Ego, dergons. You play to win here. People need to not take a death personal and people need to stop killing people for no reason. You hate the dude, kick his face in. You don't need to kill everyone person in his guild because you don't like him. These are all my personal views on this server. My 2 cents.
