I have made a few observations re:Red99 since I have been working a shit ton (7 days off in the past 2 months) and I have been levelling a few alts up in the time I have after work... (raid attendance is at /kick levels due to the time difference sorry e-pals. ).
So far I have leveled through the following zones:
CB/LGUK/SOLB/MM/UNREST and COM...
Observations:
- Plently of Nilly/AZ and old returning players rerolling!
- Plenty of new players with rags gear I have seen doing the 1-40/50s! Was hard to find groups in the lower teirs as server was def. dying before.
- Server population growing big time as at a point it was was down to 160-180's before Holo gave people a chance; seeing constant 220+'s now.
- Azrael fading hard as their fair weather blue players stop logging in and GM's have an eye on them for training etc.
- New guilds coming along: Fresh is the Uprising of 6 months ago, Dungeon Fever another leveling guild, Eternal Light making a few moves ( one would hope they relinquish their ties with AZ and start recruiting some of the up and coming new players)
- Dure-pal confirming his return after Azrael shat all over his GM event showing their true colours in the process, and according to him there are more guides incoming!
I think the dark days of Azrael tyranny are over pals, we can look forward to happy times!
