So you can imagine how gay and nerd she thinks EQ is. With that being said, i still love this game and its classic ways. I think anything beneficial that will help bring more players would be awesome, however even though i have been level 30 for like a week due to pvp deaths ,lag deaths, dumb deaths and just not being able to play as much. How can we seriously consider taking away the grind from eq? That is the best thing this server has going is the grind the rest is all bull shit anyways.

I tend to agree with this, with the exception in this case being the ability to pvp - thats generally a feature not considered bullshit to those here.

I've never felt a sense of accomplishment long term in other games due to the lack of challenge involved. I do fear that if that challenge were eliminated, so also would be my desire to play. In general, having to contend with other people in any game or contest that haven't earned their place among your ranks only serves to take the value and fun out of it.

Server needs someone who knows what the fuck was going on in everquest pvp in the late 90 to early 2000's.

The community on the pvp server limits the population to around 75 people. Classic eq pvp servers can support somewhere around 24 raiders max. All that is left after Naggy and Vox are dead is the xp grind, alts, and griefing. Honestly what did you expect? Most of the people whining about the lack of global chat and population just want a steady stream of newbies that they can kill and proceed to belittle in global ooc. The only ways that I can see to increase the population is 24/7 GM support to fix bugs and enforce whatever rules you decide upon or allow people to 6 box and try to 3 man dragons.

At some point people will realize that the devs really don't care all that much. The blue server is their prized project-- R99 is the red headed step child, it's like a science project to them. They could care less, have you seen the pop on blue lately? 600+ at times, I'm sure they are much more focused on that servers success than this servers failure.

As far as the pop, there are a shitload of people that hit 50 or are relatively close that have taken a break from the game that at primetime would easily put the server back at 220+ which is still a healthy pop. Wait until planes gets released and go from there, no1 really gives a shit about Naggy and Vox

Hey. FYI - Nilbog spends HOURS every week coding things just for red. so don't hand me that shit that he doesn't give a shit about this project. It's a hobby, for which he isn't paid. Same with all the other devs.

This is a VERY unfair thing for you guys to say they dont' care. But i'll tell you what will cause him to quit giving two fucks and a shit about the red server.

dont think anyone said the server sucked, stop being an emotional female, rather i see people (self included) saying they enjoy the server but that is dying because of a few easily changed things.

if i knew how to code id be happy to put in the time to improve the server, unfortunately for this situation my knowledge centers around the mechanical instead of the electronic.

would be happy to be a server guide to and hold tournaments, events and so on to improve the server. however i highly doubt anyone would ever bestow such a position on me =P

Agree with most of the points.

It can't be understated how much the lack of GM communication has hurt the pvp server population. At least this is easily fixable.

That said, I still play this server very casually and have fun every other night when i log on for 1-2 hours. The dwindling population is getting somewhat negative and making me question whether or not the server has a long term lifespan. People have a hard time logging on and grinding when they are not sure if they are just wasting their time. Some GM reassurance that they are aware of the community concerns and just basic better communication in general would go a long way here.

It would really help if the Admin posts on the board consisted of status reports and updates rather than just blindly raging at the people who post because they can't see anything that is being done.
