Recent Decline In Population - Page 10

recent decline happened because of this:

kunark was cool, people checked out new content and you grinded to 60 in about a month or so.

NOW WHAT?

do i want to waste my time leveling my alt to 60 no?
what benefit do i have after i hit 60? what more can i do if i'm not hitting raid targets in TR/TMO? NOTHING!!
wanna sit there and farm plat for items for leveling...oh wait i'm max level.

essentially, after you check out the zones you realize there isn't anything more to do on p99 after you hit 60.

thats why i stopped leveling and i'm waiting until epics are released HOPEFULLY by next month so it gives me a reason to play again.

This happens every year and is a topic every year. Numbers always go down in the Summer. Wait another month and numbers will shoot back up. Plus when epics/the hole/VP going in this will add even more numbers

summer time gets a lot of people out away from their computers (obviously not all of us). when Kunark launched a lot of people just wanted to "see" kunark again, and once the nostalgia wore off, they didnt feel like grinding to 60. When kunark launched a absolute megafuckton of people were two-boxxing to PL their Iksar twinks.

in conclusion... twoboxxingatkunark + Summer - Nostalgia = current pop

I played on VZ in the same guild for many years. During the summer the guild was always 'falling apart', we still had raids but we didn't have waiting lists like we usually did. The same people used to panic every year... this really is classic EQ!~
