We all have our take on why the server isnt doing as good population wise as wed like to.

Mine is that pvp xp loss should have been kept to zones like Lguk and fear.

XP loss fostered a zergish "If you got overwhelming numbers, crush, if you are undernumbered, run" environment.

No xp bonus and the long grind, coupled with that it was hard to take a break from the grind to pvp all day since all you would have done is set you back in the grind if you werent in a zerg guild like holo, is what i think reduced numbers in the first months. It was just like a blue server (meaning that people didnt pvp because of xp loss) except once in a while youd get run over and ganked by a zergsquad and add more grind on the pile. Lulz for people like holo but byebye to small crews of friends.

Now that im at the top, things are better, but it took a long time for me to start seeing people pvping on the regular.

People just raced to the top cuz pvp wasnt happening and was wondering where the content was after a month when the content should have been the incessant pvping.

Hopefully people get bored of epics and repopulate red a bit now that the xp bonus is in effect

well last night i solo'd 4 yells in about 2 1/2 hours, so yea im happy about the xp boost, other wise 4 yells would've taken me at least 4 hours which the last couple of months sucked, so far im at 8 days logged and near lvl 25, where as others with 7 days logged are at least lvl 30, but back durring lvl 13-19, i was being ganked all the time, not as much now

Must be the lack of YT, Global OOC, etc. right?

It has nothing to do with this sort of thing:

You wonder why the population is down? This server is a vile cesspool of absolutely the worst bottom of the barrel manchildren ever.

Look at all the threads on this server PROUD of bind camping an afk player for hours on end, for quite literally no gain to themselves outside of their psychopathic obsession to take out their smallcock aggressions somewhere.

Entire guilds caught exploiting. Not a one of them removes these players from their guilds and deals with them like they would have been on live, they're congratulated and praised by the inbred hordes, instead.

Most of this playerbase REFUSED to beta test, and even so used it to find exploits and circulate them with their guilds of equally terrible baddies rather than find and fix bugs, balance issues, etc.

What did people do during beta? Cry about the experience rate (1000x, yes, one thousand times experience.) exploit (Cozmonaut exploiting the dynamic pvp range to kill lowbies 30+ levels below him.) etc.

What happened to this server? VZTZ leftovers who can't handle real pvp and have to cheat and grief on a 12 year-old game.

Says the kid following my every post on multiple banned accounts, with his friends who are also banned mongoloid knuckledraggers, that doesn't play here.

You're emotionally invested in something you're not even a part of.

Wow go outside man, i dont even feel like arguing with you anymore. This place is bad for your mental health. Im not trying to troll you, make you feel bad, im being friendly. Just stop.

Take up a good book, go take a cooking class. Do you really wanna look back on your life at 60 and think of all the time youve wasted repeating the same fucking thing on these forums?

Things are never black and white, not even on red99
