Recent Decline In Population

700 is good, and really avg. I've been on peq for years, and it always had an avg of 700-1000 on peek. Now it's peeking less, as many from there came here as well as new emu players here just for classic. One of the big things people wanted thatw ere playing peq was non-multibox, which this server offers, as multiboxing makes for too much solo play among the population. Chances are this server will remain around 750 peek even after the remaining expansions are unlocked, sort of like EQMac. And 700 is only peek, so 1000's of people are playing, just not all the time.

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 played a coupe weeks, it really sucks. Though, doesn't suck as hard as SWG post-nge, they should really just put that game out of it's misery. But fippy is just so easy, like Barny the dinosaur easy, and the regular servers are just still ghost towns. imo not worth patching.

Id be playing, but the computer i play on has something wrong with it, causing it to restart every 5 minutes.

Same here, well not every 5 minutes, but it keeps lockign up on me at least once a session, making me do a hard reboot :P It's too buggy, and was destroying my system. Same thing was happening with Planetside last year when I did a resub for a month, though that was making actual blue screens [You must be logged in to view images.

The pre-CU, pre-NGE SWGemu is pretty amazing, there's a nice play server up and everything. Development is slow but quite solid. Played there a year before heading here.

I was on the progression servers. Came over here when the big dump took place at Sony. Cancelled that crap before Kunark even popped up over there. It's already here so if I want to go to Kunark I can go there on p99 where you are more likely to run into great people instead of running into more jackasses, hackers, botters, and plat farmers over there.

Dot nerf did it for me. Snare kiting was already slow....then it just got worse.

Also, I just don't have the time to devote myself to a 10+ year old mmorpg. It was fun the first time around but now Norrath is full of lame hardcores who want to relive their glory days.

Seriously, have fun guys. Nobody cares that you have phat gear on P1999.

All I gotta say is "Trak 3 day Spawn, where's my login button?"

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

On Fippy, Xp is more slow than EQ99.

They took a step back to recode it. Not so playable right now, but it will progress once again, and with faction wars no less [You must be logged in to view images.

True that. Only good thing about fippy. Of course it's nearly impossible to die... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] so no xp loss. So it evens out I guess.
