Why don't more people play here?

[Itap]

I would say I'm successful, made 72k (with OT) last year before taxes. I have a wife, 2 kids, a mortgage, etc. and I still have time to nerd out on this game.

I think whoever said its impossible to play here and be successful isn't doing it right. The more successful you are, the less you have to work imo. Shit rolls down hill. Less work = more free time.

I dont get the whole installation hurdle. How could there possibly be people who are big enough nerds to want to play emulated everquest but not big enough nerds to know how to move a few files around?

I think the issue here is people do not want to illegally download the game via that one website. Like others have stated, a 1 click download endorsed by Daybreak may solve a lot of problems for those apprehensive people afraid of legality issues

Server doesn't seem capable of supporting what it has now. Leveling up is a ghost town only populated by soloing twinks running the exact same path that the persons last 4 toons ran. There's too many 60s been sitting at 60 on the same content for 4 years and the general attitude I've seen towards people who are new is like /eyeroll not another one. another person to compete with on camps and content.

this is only if you get jealous of other people's time/effort here bc they came before you

if you join the server - focus on your own adventure - you will have a great time.

I know its a social game and you will have to interact with crap people from time to time but the amount of AMAZING people you will interact with will far far far out number the crap ones.

Ultimately - this is a social experiment game where it is driven by the community, you have to make your own fun how you see fit.

Ghost town? Are you sure you are playing the blue server? If yes, are you playing at some insanely late hour when everyone else is asleep?

'Young' is a meme around here. We're all young for playing a video game from Y2K.

Said it once, crap game compared to the billions that are out there now. Once nostalgia gets old it's time to move on.

I sincerely play this game for the awful community. I tried to establish a place that is not awful and in the process met really great people. So without the terrible community, I'd not still be here. I play for my in game family, not the mechanics of the game. I don't understand wanting to have bis VP gear on an alt of every kind. If it was just about the game it'd be crap compared to some games out there ( though the mechanics require strong community like no other), but it's not about that. People>pixils.
