It could be frustration, or could be those players that were playing green/teal at the same time.

Agreed. Seems like a pretty big stretch by that commenter to say that a couple hundred people lost means people quit due to the merge. Some, at least, were probably not unique accounts and were playing both simultaneously.

Some may be waiting till Kunark to return due to the merge, sure, but not all.

The amount of people we supposedly "lost" post-merge is too small to make any conclusions about why. We also don't truly know that we lost anybody. Many people play P99 casually and inconsistently. All couple hundred of those people could still be playing (or planning to continue playing) and just all haven't logged on at the same time and/or at prime time. Only, I assume, Rogean and Nilbog know for sure and anything anyone else says is entirely uninformed speculation.

I don't think it's a stretch. Personal experience suggests a significant number of players will stop playing due to the merge. My wife and a few friends we met on Teal have indicated a desire to stop playing post merge. However, this number is probably not "significant" for either success of the project or the enjoyment of many other players on Green.

Of course the "meta" on P99 doesn't suit the play style of those disenchanted folk, despite the fact they still love the old school content. So, I think long term retention of those players was questionable to begin with. We know the development cycle on live that attempted to address those problems. Too bad about the loss of charm in content design and character development which paralleled those changes (imo).

Blue sounds like it's in a better place now for these players, but it fails to offer classic progression in appropriate context (content wise) and is hardly shiny and new by contrast. I may try to get the wife to explore there with me casually[You must be logged in to view images.

I have met a lot of nice people on P99 over the years. However, the vibe and community are wholly different when you approach contested content. This is where most end up and I think the community is self selecting based upon that aforementioned "meta". The logical extension of unbridled classic perhaps?

My wife and I largely missed classic on live and this is a great place to learn about it, thorns and all. Ty all [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
