I should also point out that about a dozen different people have given different reasons for why they quit, why the server was a "failure", etc. You can't all be right at once you know.
i am certain that my guild who largely hold the same opinions i do on a majority of topics, most of whom i have known/played with for well over 8 years and all of whom remain firmly in said guild while we all await something worth playing on our private boards gathered in secret and said "man this eq server is great but that damn evil racist darwoth does not like black folks so now we have to quit, dang" not because of the myriad of server related issues.

in other news i hear "spear of the nation" is doing well.

I wish darwoth would post more because everything he says is right on the money, can we just put this guy in charge of the server?

Well your guild (admittedly) has two players left, if I hadn't disbanded Spear it would certainly have more than 2. But in any case this isn't about my former guild. Unless of course you were referring to the South African organization of the same name, in which case it did very well and was dismantled as part of South Africa's transition to democracy.

This server is boring. Everquest used to be tolerable in it's classic form when it had 1000+ people online at any given moment. I would log into everquest just to chat with my online friends. Now I test my patience every time I log in here. How long can I attempt to progress on this server before I realize I'm leveling my umpteenth toon at a snails pace in an empty zone. I can't gather the interest to level up knowing that as soon as I've wasted several days worth of time in getting my character to 50 that I am only looking at more grinding for equipment, so that I can stay on tier with people who are able to dedicate absurd amounts of time to their everquest characters. I feel like this server appeals to a large amount of people and that it rewards a select few who have chosen to ignore their actual responsibilities in favor of playing this game. Furthermore if you have 60ish zones and 100 hell lets even say 200 people you aren't going to see much interaction. How can you fix that? Ensure that everyone playing is interested in the same targets. 1-50 you can use most zones to progress through the game. With travel being so tedious you won't see many people moving out of their own starting zones which makes it that much more desolate. Youll end up with a bunch of people who have the same experience I have had which is to have leveled up alone. If everyone was 50 there would be more interaction and more pvp. There are fewer zones which offer progress at 50 and this will condense the population this making the server seem "fuller" and more active.

PVP isn't exploiting CT engage to grief.

PVP isn't training.

PVP isn't bind camping to delevel people.

You don't know what pvp is.
