Semi Long Term Idea (4-5 months) to Make Red 99 Fluorish

[Vohl]

The amount of bitching would be proportional to the number of players.

Yeah so Amelinda can box 3 EQs to watch 3 servers with 3 times the bitching.

Stupid.

which is more stupid?


Amelinda watching 3 servers at once?

Staff asking Amelinda to watch 2 at servers at once?

Nirgon thinking watching 3 servers is stupid, but not 2?

Calling an idea stupid because there isn't enough care in the staff to implement it?



Best idea anyone has offered yet, and it conceivably would work if there is enough money donated. Imo the staff was the biggest contributor to server's current failure.

I think the server has a near-perfect rule setup right now and I am loving playing. Unfortunately... the server was doomed from the first night and subsequent weeks. No guard assist really hamstringed the server at launch, resists were CRAZY messed up, exploits up the wazoo. All of that is fixed now. Unfortunately, it is TOO LATE for a wipe... maybe 5 months ago would have worked.

My solution:
OPEN A SECOND RED SERVER, starting from scratch with current server rules (legacy time frame for >3 months or so). With guard assists, global ooc, better resists, and no exploiting... TONS of people would come back or start up fresh. With the scaling exp formula people would be grouping and leveling at a good clip. After 4-5 months merge both red servers... I bet you the population would be over 200 on most nights in the merged red server

Red 99 server pop is just too damn low right now. I love playing it, but imagine what it could be!

lolololol

Wow a couple of you got it... the others really sh*t the bed.

When did I ever mention splitting the population?!?! lol... poor reading comprehension skills guys. I am suggesting a parallel, fresh server to draw back in people that AREN'T PLAYING NOW. good friggin god some of you are slow

and the comments about Amelinda watching X servers... from all of your pathetic whining it sounds like she is barely watching this one...

Maybe I need to put it in two sentences so the troglodytes can comprehend it:
The population is too low because the server started off broken from opening night causing mass exodus after the first couple weeks. Start a server off right (everything mentioned in OP), and once it has some momentum, merge it with the existing one.

There is NOTHING in there about splitting a population... if a split naturally evolves, then it would be red 99 with ~100-X and new server with I dunno ~200+X? Basically you would bring back a lot of people who should have been playing Red99 from launch and fresh faces.

If the new box has the legacy flag set, it'd draw population from Red. If it doesn't, the population won't be all that high. Some people will show on a new server just to sprint to 50. These might come from Red. If the population gets high enough, it'll also draw people from Red to grief. Er, PvP.

horrible idea, why open more servers when we cant even get staff to fix this one.. yea right

pop is all time low, rebounding but low

splitting it does NOTHING

creates a ghost server with no druid pals to help vs

play now, lvl now, get pals, win game.


seems like youve never played launch of anything, lifes hard out there dawwg
