For me anyway, the basic problem is the nature of the game itself.

I prefer this game to other games similar to it (P99, WoW classic, etc), but it's PvP focused and I for one hate PvP. Anyway, not enough people, not enough PvP. Not enough PvP, not enough people, and down the game goes.

Note: That's just me and my thoughts. I am not saying I am right. I will say though that I did come here to see what the population was, and it's 40 people online. That's not good :(

I got banned when i wanted to switch from alb to hib. traded my account to a hib guy who wanted to switch to alb.
(sad part is i was so desperate i traded acct with 1st house to entrance, master tailor and sc, and 3 lvl 50's tons of items/plat for a 50 eldie with 13 gold and no craft/house to speak of)

I know, evil intentions there and i deserved nipped in the bud, yinz did NOT want nefarious people like me and the dude i traded running around actually populating this place.

in other words,staff is morons who like to ghost edit posts to impress the 4 people left. ill check back in a year

What I read was "I did something I shouldn't have without asking the GM's if it's OK. They caught me, spanked me for my insolence, and now I'm throwing a temper tandrum because I'm mad at them even though it was me who did something wrong."

Sound about right?

I periodically check back every so often to see if the staff ever got the stick out of their butts with their rigid true-to-patch nature. Being alb at this patch level is a chore and our entire realm basically dissolved over the course of a couple of months after the relaunch because they wouldn't give us some means to deal with our very underpowered endurance regen which we desperately needed just to RVR. Albions pleaded and pleaded, got ignored, staff started shutting down any discussions on the topic and I guess everyone just gave up. Once Alb went pretty much everything else went with it afterwards, people got bored, staff probably played a part in their decision to not come back too. It's a bit frustrating because Uthgard scratches 98% of that itch, with the smallest of balance tweaks I am pretty confident we'd still see a very sizable pop to this day.

Hate to put it so bluntly but I'd have to say I quit due to Staff and Uthgard's (probably unintentional) favoritism towards Midgard.

I can second that.

Mid was happily trampling around in the early days as it was basically the same xp setup for pve as it was for rvr. Even if they choose to roll casters, Mid can always form a aoe stun, nukenuke group.

Albs needed a paladin to form anything viable pvewise and seeing as paladins didnt fit into the 8man meta, not many were prepared to play them. So you went with a necro first, and hope you could swap powerlevels with another necro. But that led to massive arguements over xp spots. Hell, even I got flamed massively when I pulled one mob to make a clear run to the next room in the dungeon. When I even asked beforehand and got no response from the two necros that were there. Presumed they were afk, went ahead clearing a run and boom, insta insults.

Ah, but then devs said, oh go xp in frontiers, we have a bonus. Albs had same hassle, no paladin means its pretty much pointless. And both entrances to the frontier were perma camped pretty much all the time.

Stop living in the past people.

Play and try to enjoy the game for what it is today or simply bugger off.
