Subject: RE: EQ Slowly Dying?


at the same time, fennin has this because the new people joining the game
see fennin with the highest amount, and not understanding how the game
works....they head to where the most are naturally. then they get a lil
higher....dont want to lose the character, and they are then stuck. They
have no way currently to change to another server, and after a while of
beocming frustrated LEAVE the game. Fennin has a constant flood of people
in almost ALL zones. If someone finds something new, a new spawn point
which is decent, a new piece of EQ, etc....people FLOOD that zone. About
the only zones/areas I see uncrowded in EQ are zones/areas that I get
absolutly NO exp from....none what so ever in my currently lvl. Befallen
is even overcrowded (i've seen 60 people in the folks) Unrest commonly has
60 people in it aday...most bitching about stealing kills. I'm actually
beginning to despise playing EQ because of this fact myself. You cant go
somewhere with friends and have fun because when you do, you find people in
that spot you guys planned to hit, and if you try to join, they bitch at
you. When people start to leave, and you start seeing websites posting how
bad it is....more and more often....you'll see an outflow of people. How
many people have you all seen leave Fennin, or any high lag server due to
frustrattion? My bet would be the same amount as the new people you've seen
coming in.

Lets see, Fennin Ro had 1900 people on it when I logged on last night, I
