When phoenix started with old frontier it was fantastic with 3-4k players, then you made some really bad decisions like to vote for old or new frontier, obviously all the 8 man groups from the other freeshards voted on nf and down the players went. Perhaps you should asked the people that invested nearly 20 years in the same game ? or simple stuck to what you started with, nf is nowhere near as good as of but its not a total disaster.
i can live with some of the bad changes, what made me switch to live was the nerfing of all trash solo farming, i know i can do darkspire, legion and all that, i'm more of a do it yourself kind of person like others, there needs to be more than group content in pve.
Also i respect your decision to prevent buffbots to spare the server, but universal buffs has been important part of daoc for most of its lifetime except at release, alch buffs just doesn't cut it for rvr, we ned to have buff tokens period for all the small man groups and stealthers, that will add more than just 8 man groups to rvr, which is good for all parties as this means more realm points for 8 man as they're the ones who has most to gain from this like the leechers that they are, more different aspects in rvr means more players participate, otherwise you end up having a 8 man server like previous freeshards did, yup played on them all.
Farming feathers solo is a waste of time these days, we shouldn't be forced to join groups to farm money for templates, yes i know you can salvage and waste your time farming feathers in lyn barfog or lyonesse, it's just not good enough.
