There are more crews on Oakwynd than any other TLP since before Agnarr and they will only grow if nothing is done.

They really don't need to put much effort into it. I really hope they dont over think this. Its simple, they just needs to do 2 of the most popular servers. Mischief Clone, with 2 month releases Mangler Clone, with 3 month releases It would be much better if they staggered these two server...

This would be like a new car company using a Pontiac Fiero as their test bed platform.

They really need to add the ability to direct exp to a AP while playing any character on that persona. They also need to add the ability to buy AP with DB cash without buying the expansion.

Sadly I didn't have hourly recording until recently. Before then I was looking at the population hourly but only recording the min/max population and at what time it was recorded.

Since the plat dupe, then the AA mess, then the red wine disaster Oakwynds population has taken a major hit. Before the plat dupe Oakwynd was averaging 3100 players a night. A number that was close to what Mischief was averaging at a similar time in its tlp timeline. Right now Mischief is...

I keep track of whats happening on the current tlps. I know the crews that exist and what they are doing. I can get a very good estimate of how much plat each is making, how much krono is selling for, how much items are selling for. I have some inside sources as well that help provide some of...

There was about 750 mil to 1 billion plat in circulation on Oakwynd before the dupe. There is about 15 to 18 billion plat in circulation now after the dupe and cleanup.

They really screwed this one up for sure. Was funny when they basically blamed the players for not letting them know, even when multiple people were screaming about it for almost 7 days before they did something. I would still like to know where their 2.2% number came from.

They did do another round of bans today related to the plat exploit. I am not sure if they have more planned or not though and I am not sure how much of the plat was actually removed and or banned from the server. I know it wasnt nearly enough to fix the economy though. They waited so long it...

And he respawns in dzs

As a developer you would not want to make a eq like game these day. It would limit your player base and potential income drastically. I don't think most of us will like what they come up with and I think thats ok because most of us are to old to be the target audience.

If you believe you can write Spanish then you can and everyone else must accept whatever made up words you come up with. Sounds familiar

Oakwnd is averging a higher pop per night than mischief did at this same point...

I miss Mangler, it was a great server.

Funny they fix this after FTE was put in lol.

I think velious will be fine because it requires almost no keying. But luclin will be brutal and pop even worse flagging a bunch of alts.

I loved mischief but I am of the opinion they should never do another mischief if the want to keep releasing tlps every 12 months.... That ruleset is so popular that it diminish any server without that ruleset. The more distance between mischief and new servers the better. Doing the occasional...

Do you know if devs have to get approval before going on shows like this? Like from HR or JChan maybe?

As much as I would like to hear the reply on such topics I dont think it would have made sense to ask it. They are a dev and have to be careful talking about exploits and they generally have little idea what the customer service team is doing. The question would also likely put them in a awkward...

Lol.....................

So far the population numbers put in between Mischief and Yelinak, but its still really early to tell long term. Mangler Mischief Oakwynd Agnarr Yelinak Aradune Coirnav

3065 online right now. Like I said its way to early to say anything about these numbers other than they are in line with most other tlp launches.

Population was about 3100 at 12am and 2550 at 3am est. These are all pretty normal numbers for opening night of a new TLP.

OOT Goblins is prob the most boring camp in all of eq.

Undead tower is terrible for experience, just terrible.

Getting harder to remember what happened on what server at this point... they all kind of blend together.

Am I remembering correct that Yelinak was 1 month classic 2 months Kunark. Where as Oakwynd will be classic 2 months and kunark 2 months.

Oakwynd hype seems to be building up decent, more than I saw for Yelinak atleast and it turned out ok. I still stick to my thought that oakwynd will be more popular than Yelinak but less than Mischief. This assumes that FTE is not a complete disaster.

I think FTE could be ok if done right. But they really shot themselves in the foot by puting it on test server 6 days before it was to be released. A major mechanic like this needed a month or so a at a minimum to work the small little details out and even then there would be issues that would...

To old to eat Taco Bell but defiantly down for some Chicfila if I want some waffle fries or Bojanles of I want some spicy chicken.

Its clear that free trade causes an issue with every other non free trade server. The further we get away from Mischief the less the addiction of the free trade will hold. Allowing another free trade servers will just renew that addiction. IMO they should never ever do another free trade...

I am not sure Mischief brought so much more it was worth it for them though. I mean yes it brought more players but not a massive amount more than just a normal TLP. I estimate is had about 15% more players on average than just plain old Yelinak.

I am starting to think they wont ever do another Mischief 2.0 because of all the exploits it brought. Its been the most exploited server in a long long time and its still coming up with new ones weekly.

If they wanted people to play more chars then they should have made some sort of char linking mechanic across accounts. This way they could acutally use the bonuses and DB would benifit from more people actually paying for more accounts.

One of the main issues is they only do TLPs once a year. They should do one every 6 months. This way people dont put so much hope into a single yearly TLP. Also they need to always have a server in classic to pop era which is by far the most popular time frame.

I think alot will become more clear once fte is on test next week and we can see how it actually works vs how its been explained to the PR people.

With the changes, as long as FTE is not horribly buggy I am thinking now this server will only be slightly behind Mischief in average population to planes of power.

They should disable the /yell command on all raid targets also....

I always laugh when people try and stream EQ1 on twitch and get maybe 100 viewers on a good night.
