"People" aka softies that if you can't take some forum banter, stay the hell out of EQ pvp. This ain't some lose a couple battlegrounds and get an epic game.

I love reading these from you "hard-core" PvP'rs while ignoring the fact that your population continues to dwindle more and more each week. I stopped playing because the grind is terrible, I loved classic EQ, mainly because I was a teenager living at home with my parents with no responsibility, so I could dedicate 4-8 hours a day...

I would presume, the majority of those who tried p99, are like me, here for nostalgia, perhaps try some things I never got to do on live....

Instead, I find myself trying to do the same thing I did 10 years ago, but now I have a job, wife, kids, etc.

Those of you that can play this game 8 hours a day obviously have no life, so continue to bash, and ignore the facts and soon your p99 EQ experience will be like your love lives...(playing with yourself) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is why there needs to be some sort of exp boost, even if it is done at lower levels.

Not true, I'm a level 11 ROG and having plenty of fun without exp bonus.

All I can say about exp is I wish they would remove the penalties for hybrids.

My RNG friend levels really, really slow and his class is not that good lol.

So you what to play on an EQ EMU but got mad when you found out you had to play everquest? What is wrong with you?

If you want to play here, play at whatever pace you want, you don' t have to be 50 in the next 6 months to still have fun and experience PVP at all levels. we had a pretty sweet PVP battle in oasis last night. I am not 20 yet, i still meet new ppl and have fun everytime i log in.

If you dont want to play everquest thats fine, its not for everyone.

Xp loss in pvp is like 1%, its meaningless, less than a blue mob.

I think a large reason the population drops is because casual players here all of you trolls talking about how people aren't punished for exploiting etc. You think that doesn't drive away casual players or even some hardcore players who just aren't as informed? It does. I had to calm several players down and explain what actually happened.

Stop trying to label everything as an exploit and crying about it at the top of your lungs and maybe you'll stop driving people away. I know at least one person left over something I wouldn't/couldn't do. Whatever.

Maybe go recruit your old pvp buddies to play. If you come up with a legitimate well thought out proposal for something and submit it to nilbog/rogean in the proper location (in the petition/exploit forum or their pm box) I think you'll have a better response.
I think its pretty obvious whats causing the population to drop. I doubt its what you are talking about. Does Rogean and Nilbog have a character on Red99 or blue99 they leveled up to 50? I dont think so. This is probably the reason why they added in XP loss to pvp. Its already really long to level up a character and especially longer if youve done it all on blue already and the reliving EQ thing is partly gone.

No amount of events can replace daily world pvp for me. Going back somewhere and trying to gank the same group over and over might be called "bindrushing" by people who dont like it but its pvp, the sort that would happen most on Rallos Zek. Either that or hanging around the same place for hours on end pvping. (I remember HHP being a hotspot on Rallos, as was Oasis and EC for pvping).

Youve listened to basement dwellers with no lives telling you that the xp loss was nothing and that only babies bad at the game would complain about it. People using words like "bindrushing" to describe long drawn out pvp fights where i would get most of my fun on Rallos.

Like this guy:

So now its your core population.

I dont mean to just complain but i think the solution is again pretty obvious, you just have to stop listening to the crowd of pve poopsockers and the lulz griefers who want xp loss in pvp to stay in. Were you seriously thinking you would get any kind of new blood to the server after 2 months once twinks were in and ganking new guys? You learn the game through pvping, experience. How long do you think new people to the game are going to stay getting xp loss for lulz by twinks who know the game 10X better than these new guys? Theres an extremely long learning curve to pvp right now because nobody wants to die because of xp loss, i dont care what the basement dwellers say. You will never get an influx of people this way. Im not sure what can be salvaged from the server right now though, the time to act was probably when we were hitting 650 people at peak.

Anyone who diagree's with Oldfish is a basement dweller, news at 11.

FYI your opinion is not the only one that matters, get over yourself.

If you think 2% exp loss on death is the reason pop is low, your a retard.

NEWS AT 11

Most people just don't like Classic EQ PvP with classic exp rate.

Are you serious right now?

Why drugs are you on?

Where was my in put on anything about low server pop?

Oh my comment that Oldfish is stating only his opinion matters, means I gave input on this topic?

Stupid proof: lethdar says it's 1% and a non-factor, Oldfish diagree's and starts name calling. I say your a douch for thinking only your opinion matters. You ? Idk what you did but spew shit out before reading.

Please don't post if your mentally challenged, your an idiot.
