The real reason the population is declining is...

On average, most red server players:

• Have actual jobs
• Don't live with their parents
• Have had sex at least once
  ...

Actually it was proven in a recent Yale study that blue players, in addition to being better at eq, are also better looking and have better paying jobs.

Turn on global channels + increase exp = server success

Nice troll btw, Wolf! Stirred 'em up a bit.

If Wolf was griefed off teh server...why has he been playing? Now that's not logical.

Thats exactly what i want, if a group killed me to take my spot at 2am in the morning, and its 4v1 and im bored and theres nothing else to do, i should be able to go back there and guerilla harass them as long as i want.

You know, like it was on Rallos.

Or maybe i should get a yellow or 2 of xp loss and decide this just isnt fun and quit the server. Im betting this happened to many people that just didnt leave any feedback on the forum.

Oldfish, I get what you are saying, I really do. Experience punishment is a substitute to item loot because there are a large amount of PvE players here. 100% pvpers should want 1 item loot, coin loot, and nothing else, but there isn't a player base for that. People that pay 24/7 need the PvE aspect, which need tanks, which need items, which can't be getting ganked non stop. They also need the ability to win a camp and continue on with their PvE without having you backstab them all night forcing them to play your game and not theirs.

Rallos was by far the best server for a cashual player that wanted pure pvp, but as time went on and expansions started happening it was harder and harder to progress pve wise, and the people that wanted some pve were not getting it as much as they wanted.

Right now the majority of the population fall into two groups. One group wants to PvE and be dominant by forcefully taking the PvE content and the other group wants to grief that player base. Think of the second group as another PvE hurdle for the first group that can end up being much smarter and tougher then a mob.

There is a small percentage that fall into your category of people that want to play very cashual, gank someone, and take their item.

Im not really sure xp loss is a replacement because most people were running around mostly in no drop gear. At least casters were.

its really sad that they chose to migrate this poopsock shit over to red. It could have snowballed into something much bigger if it was a pvp fest and people were havin fun. I could honestly see this server pass the 1k bar if people were having pvp fests when it launched. People just hit the PVE xp wall and without PVP action happening because of xp loss deterrent, realized its just a blue server with a twist and got bored and quit. Then its just a pop downward spiral as more people get bored.

Im sure most people on Rallos didnt complain about "FUCK THIS SHIT, I CANT PVE, BECAUSE SOMEONE IS PVPING ME OVER AND OVER", they were too busy getting high and pvping all nite. Thats why it took so long to level, cuz of the pvp fests, which were fun.

Here you have the poopsockers race to 50 with touching pvp as little as they can then argue for xp loss so they can keep that edge on the gear grind, which theyll never lose. So boring.

Again i might be completely wrong but i think thats what happened.

and people like you are why rallos sucked and everyone that was anyone on the server moved to sz when it came out.

The grind wouldn't be so bad if actual groups existed for lower level players and people who wanted to play something other than a necro/shaman/druid/mage.

Every single person I know playing a melee or hybrid is only doing so because they are getting power leveled and handed gear from their guild or friends. Since this obviously isn't the case for everyone, most casual players and bluebs that migrated over to check out a pvp box have thrown in the towel already.
