I never really frequented this forum at all(now or then), but I am nevertheless sorry to hear that this is the state it is in. CoN can't be the only server suffering from the all the bad that undoubtedly comes from such a toxic environment.

However, I was also more thinking about the lack of promotion of your CoN server on more mainstream venues with EQ related segments (Facebook, Reddit, Official EQ Forums etc.). Many people playing on live servers barely even have a clue that there exists emulated EQ servers - let alone know the names of any of the servers or what they are actually offering (this even includes P99).

Anyway, I wish you the best and urge you to keep all the good work you did with CoN on multiple backups. You never know what opportunities or personal inclinations the future might bring.

Great advice right here.

Just because you are burnt out right now doesn't mean you will be in a few months, year from now, etc. It seems the trend atm are these classic-"ish" progression servers. The population of players actually playing on these servers that pop up tend to be the same people that just jump around to every server when theres new content. I think once live finally starts to die down whenever that may be you will see a huge influx of new people. You had a very unique vision, I think that Grey was right about the marketing outside of EQEMU.

Always fun to work on a project and keep it private as well just to get your creativity out. You never know someday you may want to release it again.
