Default Fewer quakes and impact on server population

Quarm and THJ are clearly impacting the server population at the moment. And we've experienced nearly 50% fewer quakes this year compared to the same period last year, from January to May. Let's be honest, the appeal of Quarm and THJ lies in their easy access to loot. In my view, the decrease in quakes and the lengthy 7-day windows are further damaging this server. What do you think is the reason behind the significant reduction in the number of quakes?

If the Devs do not get their act together soon, and merge Green to Blue, then launch a new Green server,

Everyone is going to end up moving over to Quarm, and not coming back.

It's not the percieved lack of quakes. Easy loot is not why anyone would play p99.

Most people have achieved or abandoned the tasks that they set out to do on Green and Blue. The tryhards since long got their Warder loot and left. A few RMT'ers and cliques lock down anything still of value. The vast majority of zones are deserted.

A merge is due or a new fresh with the plans of one day merging that server with existing Green at the end of its timeline.

I can't say I understand the lack of communication from the p1999 team. It's nothing new but it doesn't help.

I honestly just wish they'd tell is what's planned or what isn't.

Quakes arent really classic, just be lucky you have them. Back then on my server there were rotations for raid mobs/zones and you had to beat a guild to it to get on a rotation. There were 25+ guilds on the trak rotation which meant you had to wait almost 3 months to get a shot at trakanon.

That and servers have been on farm status for years now, if you don't have the loot you wanted already thats on you. New servers certainly won't help with that.

A p99 road map or at least stating there is none for the moment would be nice though.

Except for Legacy loot which for anyone with a completionist mentality will make most classes feel incomplete. Even the tradable cost silly amounts. Farming enough for beads would take me forever if I didn't have them already.

I'd happily take a rotating schedule of legacy drops.

My point was more about if you think getting loot on a deserted server on farm status is hard, I don't think you'll fare any better on a new server bursting with players contesting everything.

Outside legacy stuff, it has never been easier to get most gear.

Im glad you n00bs are migrating to qarm or what ever that lame server is called

Then maybe the GMs can focus on things that really matter (PVP) instead of dealing with 2000000 elflawyer petitions about how someone stole your quilmane and you cant do anything about it because you are a coward who is afraid of PVP

Quarm helped me quit EQ. Quarm is just new, but gets boring extremely fast with fast respawns and loot pinata. They have no economy what so ever as well.

Do you people actually play on the server, or just haunt the forums and offer gloomy points of view? Of course quakes bring people back to the server; they’re fun, there’s competition, and people can earn/spend their dkp. It gets people to log in, which has a cascading effect into the longer term. They then have to login to redo faction, recharge items, restock consumables. The point is that it stimulates activity and provides a focus and direction for many people who might be undecided or have other games competing for their attention

They're not getting money for running p99 so they don't care if you play it or not. They're also dedicated to running a mostly classic experience so they're not going to turn it in a loot piñata to attract new players.

Seems like you don't want to play classic EQ and that's alright.
