How did you guys miss the fact velious made it so everyone has 5khp / 255MR. The peeveepee is refuckintarded when everyone is clad in godmode gear =/. Lets fight for 25min or hit the ZL running through a crowd of 12 other players.

Wouldn't matter if server was classic ( wizard spells hit for full damage also crits )

are you being serious? gongshows number 1 missions was to grief everyone else into quitting or joining them so they have ZERO people contesting velious pve content

dude was more blue then nizzar

( I quit before velious rolled because velious is garbage )

I think all expansions are fun to a point but as your progressing with the mean of the server population. Once it’s been locked down for 4 years like HB said it’s pretty hard to get solid footing. You have guys like ignight grouping with tune’s 4 boxes thinking he is chatting with diff people. Then these same clowns are used as zombies to farm loot off raid mobs while getting scraps. Of course when items are nostalgic you’ll go for that sort of thing.

So you're commenting about a period you admit to not playing during, lol.

Empire never, or almost never, raided things like Trak / Talendor / VS / VP etc., as a guild during Velious. We left Yelinak up half the time, let mobs sit up for days under the rotating raid day schedule, and let other Velious mobs remain up. We didn't care if other people tried to kill those mobs. The Tune and deranged Nilly people treat this game like real life and still raid kunark in 2018 and would batphone another guild trying to do Talendor in 2022.

The barrier to entry is incredibly high on red. There is for the most part no one to level with, no economy to speak of, and it feels like a ghost town. The EXP bonus makes the journey to 60 rather quick on a solo class and the end game is a huge bore. There's only one guild to play, getting non vulak / dozekar items is incredibly easy, so you basically "win" EverQuest in a very short period of time. There's no EC Tunnel Quest so it's not as though you can go farm items and play the auction metagame; there's not tons of organic grouping going on to level alts up with; and everyone you play with at the end game has the exact same end game gear you do so there's little to no feeling of accomplishment. Couple that with the fact that there will never be new content and you have a recipe for boredom and disinterest.

Blue, despite having the same issue of a lack of content, has a [artificially] "competitive" end game scene which means it takes significantly longer to "win" the game by getting all your raid gear. This keeps the carrot on the end of the stick for you to keep on logging in. It also has a robust economy so for those who are interested in the metagame of acquiring platinum can participate in that. There is also an influx of new players to level up with again because when someone hears about P99 for the first time are they rolling up on a 19 person box or 600 person box? Couple that with the fact that a lot of people just don't like PvP.

All the talk about "toxic" player base and everything else just ignores the real fundamental issues with the server. A re-release, with a clear rule set, GM enforcement, a safe zone such as EC [yes guilds use it to buff up and prep, but the positives outweigh the negatives], classic EXP gain, and a higher death penalty; would all go a long way to driving up the population on this server. However, there will never be a wipe, and dramatic changes on this box where everyone has 11 vulak geared alts isn't going to generate any significant interest.
