Its possible I interrupted this wrong from his end. I do know that some guilds like Faceless always want harder stuff to do. It was one reason those types of guilds liked Vnaki so much. My main point was the masses dont want "harder" and making the entire server "harder" would massively reduce...

Everquest mental illness by server type

I really only see two possible outcomes to this. THJ shutting down (forced or voluntarily) or coming to an agreement with DPG like Quarm did.

There were no noticeable sales decline in krono from what I saw. Teek had increased overall sales in the 3rd party market and there was no decline until Fangbreaker was announced. I would bet this email was from a guild member who lost a lot of guildmates to the server.

I think the more shocking thing is this seems to indicate that no one at daybreak knew about thj before this email?

Server 1 should launch in March Server 2 should launch in Oct

This server has averaged under 1k players a few times last week and level 55 is still 9 weeks away.

I have seen DPG internal numbers for multiple servers and they are always vastly higher than the numbers we see in game. For Vaniki the peak amount of players online during the first week was about 700 and dropped very fast from there. I dont see how you come anywhere close to some of the...

Maybe DPG plan all along was to release a terrible ruleset and then use the low population as a key point that THJ is taking away their business in the lawsuit.

At this point we have enough variations of rulesets they could spend a few years just releasing mixed rulesets 2-3 times a year and turning on the money printer. They want to release a new expansion every year for live but I am sure the roi on those are getting worse and worse. Maybe they need...

The ROI on Tlps have got to be massive when you just recycle older ruleset as they require almost no dev time. So it doesnt make sense why they would not be releasing at least 2 tlps a year separated by 4-6 months to try and maximize the players who want to play different rulesets.

First 5 days population of each server

I think anyone who planed to level to 50 will be 50 well before the July 4th holiday.

Oakwynds population was pretty good until the tradeskill depot play exploit. It was cut in half within a few days of that and the just died out quick.
