Default Why have you quit?

During the first weeks, the server was thriving. There's obviously people interested. Somehow, we've managed to fuck up everquest pvp. The server is stable and as close to classic as I ever thought possible.

Why have you quit?

Not many have quit, the server spiked with bluebies excited about the pvp server. The small fraction of 'real' players that quit are players like myself who can't do a one box grind on a melee. The new exp boost has me logging back in to get PL'd by a druid. I'm sure i'll play regularly once I hit 50.

My guild came into the server with around 7-10 active players with many others interested. We are down to 2 semi active players now.

My biggest issue is the fact that the population continues to go down. I can handle all the other issues. Its extremely hard to put in time on a server that looks to be vacant in a few months.

The lack of GM communication was terrible after the first month and before a month ago. The biggest update was a post from Rogean on page like 50 of 100+ in rants in flames(That took months for them to follow through on). I'll admit that the communication lately has been better(or at least more).

It could also be the fact that your guild leader is an openly racist idiot. Maybe that's why your guild didn't thrive. Just a thought.

Do not give opinions on things you do not understand. The decline in population is hardly exclusive to my guild only.

My opinion was exclusive to your guild. I've given my opinion on why the server's population more generally has declined, but in this case there's the intervening variable of your guild leader being a racist loudmouth that might have caused many of your guildies to be less enthusiastic about the server.

I should also point out that about a dozen different people have given different reasons for why they quit, why the server was a "failure", etc. You can't all be right at once you know.

Sure doesn't stop you from complaining about and posting a formulaic response to every thread started by the people you obsess over. You cite lack of punishment for people that 'HACKED EVERYTHING TO ALL HELL, I EVEN HEARDZ THEY HACKED ERRONES COMPUTBOXES 2', yet people were banned and loot was taken away.

You keep shouting about how butthurt you are, yet no one gives a shit except you. Which you constantly feel the need to quote yourself.. all the time. Please do us all a favor and eat one.
You sound mad as fuck, kid. I bet you're in one of the two cheater guilds.
