Why Do I Keep Reading That This Server is Dead?

[crunkfresh]

Honestly, have you guys never played other MMOs?

This server averages 700-750 people at peak hours. The first couple of nights it was 900-950. That's pretty fuckin' good. If you're comparing it to World of Warcraft I've got news for you, about 90% of their servers are way way worse off, they bost 8 million subs but that includes all the chinese farmers, bots, RAF accounts, dual account holders etc.

The only WoW servers significantly better off than this place are the big 4 - Mal'Ganis, Illidan, Tichondrius, and Kil'Jeaden. Any medpop server will see a noticable influx on Tues/Wed and Saturday, but the rest of the time the world feels just as "dead" as P99. Its worse on lowpop servers, what place I'm raiding currently you can do a /who 85 90 all and get about 60 results at peak play times. Not to mention that its fuckin' wow, so even on the big servers everyone is just AFK queuing in the main cities anyway. Here at least theres always a handful of people in most of the zones.

This is just comparing it to wow, pretty much all the other MMOS outside of EVE (since its one server) feel much, much worse to exactly the same as P99.

P99 will probably see a large influx of people logging on in August after EQ Next is announced, and even more if/when Vellious ever comes out. So, whats the deal? Are the complainers all Wowbros from Illidan? Or am I missing something here

Its not; they may be talking about p99 red.

some of its a scare tactic. Some people don't like having to compete for camps with other groups and saying the server is dead all the time keeps new people away. More for meeee!!

really though since i started in Jan 2010 the server has done nothing but increase and thrive. Its settled right around 7-800 , mainly because kunarks been out for 2 years, but it will double with velious. For how long who knows..

Saying this server is dead or doomed is a lot like the "analysts" going on about how Apple is doomed.. They are out of touch with reality. I agree also that it's a scare tactic. The vast majority of the server could care less about the squabbling going on over some of the end content. I love the server and most of the people on it are a lot of fun and are not jerks. It's a VERY close experience of the game when I first played on live at launch and for several years thereafter. That's why I play.

P1999 is the best kept secret on the web. And I like it that way. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I sort of think it is too big now!!

Both are dead servers. The inner child in you that has no life just doesn't want it to be.
