Why have you quit?

lack of attention, lack of server specific features, meddling GM staff and the fact that i have already killed pretty much everyone on the server worth killing multiple times.


another huge one for me is the carebear demeanor of the server, we still dont have a set of rules but amelinda is eager to swoop in doling out suspensions for a multitude of activitis that should be legal (training, ninjalooting, tradeganking)


since players lose absolutely nothing when you kill them unlike classic, and the option to create scenarios where you could actually get one over on your enemies (ninjalooting, tradeganking) has been deemed unacceptable in addition to the low playerbase and other issues i have mostly lost interest in the server

if i wanted watered down zero consequence pvp and GM meddling/hadholding i would fire up a wow emulator or something with vastly greater population and not spend 15 minutes out of every 60 buffing/medding.

The Red Player base has gotten exactly what it wanted

Bullshit

[Flunklesnarkin]

I don't think a friendlier player base would help


its a pvp server.. people are going to be dicks


what they need is a way for gear / grind (you know all the PvE stuff) be less of a requirement to PvP



I think full loot takes care of the gear requirement.. somebody can't just buy best gear in game then reign supreme for ever.

exp boost would be nice also.

I think it's funny how divided opinions are and how everyone wants every which rule tweaked to the way they like it.

I think one of the larger problems the server has is the forum trolls and the constant reminder of doom and gloom and how bad the server is etc. this forum is the first thing a player looks at before deciding to join it or not. based on what I see, I'd just move along if I was a random/non referral.

nothing is really as bad as people try to make it seem. there's some angry/butt hurt folks that stick around to constantly remind us of things, but it's really not a true representation of the server. it's like a review of anything in life - very rarely will anyone stick around and post about how much fun they are having, but everyone that wants to vent and bitch will air it here frequently.

My first go-around I quit because of the exp rate, and because I felt like I was playing single player (nobody in newbie zones, nobody in chat).

I came back with several TZ people after the exp change and currently play.

I agree.

There are legitimate issues that should not be ignored, but there's a massive difference between "THIS SERVER IS HOPELESS AND HERE'S WHY IT FAILED" and wanting to constructively improve the experience.

Staff presence/moderation is sparse. At the same time, the red playerbase could make it much more appealing for staff to actually want to be working on things here. That rapport between staff/player is damaged (and was heavily damaged during the first month or so of the server).

I was pretty happy to see Null actually respond to the resists thread and address the overall feedback.

Global OOC hasn't been touched. A poll was put up in January. Threads keep popping up. It's an example of something that should be addressed. I have been fairly vocal about it - not because I want to bitch about something, but because I try to keep the casual player in mind who starts up a new character on this server. I think people try to play and quit because of the current experience, which is not "classic" because of the population, and so we have to make the appropriate adjustments. This is why I keep pushing for that.

Players could do a better job of calling out the positives of the server and promoting it. We don't do nearly enough of this.

Being able to fight back against trolls without sinking an incredible amount of time into PvE would probably help some.

so if i understand most you; most of you do not actually enjoy playing EverQuest. instead you would prefer to be given a lvl 50 character with uber gear and spend all day running around fragging each other. im sorry, but thats not EQ.

it seems none of you came here wanting to meet new people, make BOTH new friends and enemies. none of you came to grind it out, to crawl through dungeons, to try holding camps, all while dealing with other players trying to stop you via pvp.

if you came here expecting call of duty, naturally i see why you would be upset. but if you came here expecting EQ, then i look forward to seeing you all on the server.

There is two camps...

One camp is what Sirken describes...

Other camp is more about PVP for raid content than PVP to grief/frag.
