Main problem with recruit a friend is that EQ is initially kind of unpleasant for people who don't play it with nostalgia/play other MMO's. I have tried to get a few friends involved, who are avid gamers otherwise, who didn't even bother playing once they saw the graphics/difficulty.
Actually, that's probably the main problem with ANY kind of promotion. Without having done any research I dare say the vast majority of people here actually played classic EQ (or at least one of its earlier, pre-game ruining expansions). I'd be interested to see what the ratio of old players to EQ virgins is. That aside, my point is that completely new players are going to be difficult to attract, so you're really only promoting to a niche group of old players. Not that I'm criticising, I'm all for more players. | ||

Look at the state of the server the past two months and ask,why did 200 or so people stopped playing. Not opening Vp to allow the upper 100 or so end game raiders to move on, killed the raiding for the next 4 raiding guilds. Divinity , bda, taken and vd have taking hits. I would say between the 4 of us we lost over 100 or so people.
Guilds can only raid hate, fear and sky so many times before being burnt out. If tr and tmo moved on to vp, it would allow those other guilds to do new things and get older members back. Hell give it another month and Tr won't have more than 30 people online, or TMO will only have 50 man raids. People can only do the same things for so long before being burnt out. Lack of content,epic,server politics is killing the server slowly. Go ask your friends to come back and when they ask,has anythint changed? The answer will be no. So what motivation do they have to clear hate for the 70th time for armor to rot. | ||

It's too bad people like daltheb and Eashan have negatively impacting the server but we shall recover | ||

TR and TMO will free up other targets. You think the they won't be camping the 6 dragons in Vp? Thats about 100 people in Vp. You think they will be going for cazic, inny, vs or kunark dragons if dragons are in window in Vp? This opens many new Windows for guilds who don't have 40-90 active raiders who log on for the the batphone .
It's the lack of targets for people to get excited about. What's the point of trying for something if 60 people are camped out at a "Target" thats in the window. How many times do you think TR or TMO want to camp trak? Raiding guilds move on to VP the other more casual guilds get the targets that are freed up. It'simple. How many alts do people want to level up and regear for the 5th time. It's fact. People get burnt out doing the same shit over and over. This isn't s dig at tr or tmo. Even they will get burnt out killing trak the 80th time because of VP not being open. Punishing those two guilds and keeping it closed trickles down and hurts the rest of the raiding guilds. In the end, you see server population decline. | ||

I know that I've been contacting old guildies that I've kept up with via FB. That's how I ended up playing 1999. Some old friends told me about it, and I restarted my old Cleric. Now I've been passing along the link to Project 1999, and I'm pretty sure I've got at least 2 former guildies to start playing on 1999, and possibly more. So keep plugging away at old friends via FB and your old server and guild message boards!
