We need a sleeper awakening to liven things up.

The server's population is on an ever decreasing spiral now, I think. What is to keep people coming back after they have killed ST warders and AoW?
Remember, though, that these people farmed Kunark raid mobs for FIVE YEARS NONSTOP

Also Kunark pop dropped as low as 450 primetime following the IB ban in 2011, and stayed 450-600 for roughly a year or so before getting to 1200+... all before Velious date was even announced.

I don't think a constant stream of content is why people are here.

Ahh but there was always the velious carrot waiting for them. What have they now? Perhaps some custom content, perhaps not.

The casuals will inherit norrath eventually.

Better to enjoy whats there for months/years than to do everything, get everything, sleep 4 hours a night and burn out.

To that end, why not join a zerg guild and wait months for items [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Red99's population numbers have never been more consistent than they are now.

I don't think p99 is going anywhere fast...

Obviously, at some points in the server's history their have been marked increases and decreases in population. I think it may actually be true that the historical high point may be behind us (probably Velious launch and the few weeks after). Such is the nature of a server like p99.

Of course, there are reasons to play. Many of us who don't raid at all are perfectly fine with the permanent static nature of things and can continue our social game play experience without even taking much notice to the so called "end game" of Velious. I'd imagine that hard core pixel chasers will find it increasingly difficult to enjoy the game as time progresses without new content to fight over.

Re99 (the next blue p99 server) or whatever they title it will start the cycle all over again. In my opinion, getting 6 years out of classic EQ content (even with all the delays in expac release, DDoSers, raiding disputes, hacking scandals, RMT feuds, etc.) has not only be a victory for Nilbog and Rogean (and their teams), but it has been a whole boat load of fun.

If/When they launch the next server I know I'll be there on day 1 ready to roll. Until then (at least for the foreseeable future), I'm still loving my friends and toons on p99 and having a lot of fun playing EQ and having classic EQ adventures.
