Youre a fucking idiot brah I never cheated on your retarded server in fact I was against big Zamiel even joining my guild. The only thing I did to your shit ass server was wake the sleeper which rustled every ones jimmies so hard they sent in thousands of petitions and got their own server shut the hell down. IN short you and every dumbass who sent in petitions got the server shut down. Congrats dumbass go cry somewhere else.

Again, the problem is those population numbers bomb once you move past PoP. Lock a server down to Classic - PoP and leave it that way.

The only part of your reply that has any accuracy is that petitions are most likely what drove this server to collapse. Aside from the training, there was enough petitioning going on anyway. Since the last patch, zones like Overthere and Thurgadin would randomly crash and lock characters inside. I even had to petition for this issue last week and the GM response was that he also got his character stuck in the zone and had to forward the issue up!! This was happening quite frequently. Add in broken encounters like Earth rings that needed a GM to trigger, etc and it was always bound to happen sooner or later. Without any devs fixing the problems, it was a CS blackhole and SoE werent getting any revenue from the server. The raid training was most likely just the straw that broke the camel's back.
*edit* In restrospect, maybe you can all blame me for getting it shut down.

So what really happened with this whole thing? The last time I played was during the little anniversary events they were giving out artifacts for during the clusterfuck buggy event in EW. Everything on the server seemed fine then, and I went inactive for a few months, logged back on last night, and saw nobody online. Now the server is shutting down? Cos of hackers causing CS nightmares? When did all the hacking/griefing begin? How bad did it get? So sad to see Mac go =/ What are most people using as a replacement? Test progression?

Theres 850 on right now, consider that boxing isn't allowed, so thats pretty good. There is about 100 on the PvP Server. I suggest giving the PvP server a chance.
Since the announcement of the server shutdown, it is not uncommon for "/who all" to return with 17-20 characters during peak hours.
As for the basis for the server shutdown, the reason has been speculated here and the EQ official forums, and made quite evident on the EQ Mac forums. Basically, when level 1 characters appear in Time and other planes training raiders and groups on a FTP server that requires too much GM intervention as is (to spawn/reset events/mobs), it was not surprising that the hammer came down sooner than later.
According to some, the community have scattered into the wind: P99, PEQ, EQ Live (Xegony, mostly), Test server, and WoW.

Man I had around 800k too, with my highest chars in their 30's and 40's. Had a few of the artifacts from a few months ago as well. Guess I'm glad I quit for the last 4 months. I can't imagine how upset so many people are after devoting loads of time into their characters once we got the announcement that the server would be up forever and F2P. I guess the whole F2P thing is what really ruined it, and the Windows port. It's sad that a few lonely individuals ruined it for everyone else. Maybe Hobbart will leak the code or something :/ When did all of this hacking really begin?

When the resident EQMAC guild, Temerity, decided that they were the only ones who deserved to play and said 'fuck you' to everyone else. Have no illusions as to why this is happening; you ruined it for yourselves.
