Corpse runs and needing 24 people for raids on a private server that doesn't offer anything very unique and not solo friendly. I really don't see that happening. Even the most popular servers would have problems finding enough people for a 4 group raid.

These kind of discussions always end up in the same loop. Solo players "pushing" for what they want. (100's of them on these forums). And they always play that "population" card, even after they read the initial post. (100's of them). I don't have anything against anybody's preference for game play, but reality is, there will ALWAYS be a variety of game mechanics on the EMU server list. It's not only welcome, it's needed. Population doesn't happen overnight for any type of server. It grows over time, if it does happen. But a mere couple of "opinions" don't set precedence for it.

Everyone wants a populated server but no one wants to stick around and help it grow.

Exactly. It's like everyone wants a family, but nobody wants to start one, they want the built-in family, lol.

I'll go ahead and address these points though.

Most content has been completed with 2 groups or less. My custom content has not been attempted yet.

I don't know who you were ingame so I can't comment on how much content you saw, but I do know you weren't a beta tester which tells me you didn't do anything significant. And there are only two players who have hit level 60 since launch so... How can you say a server offers nothing unique when you haven't even played it?

Many things have been added to the game to tone down the difficulty of certain things or to increase the power of certain classes. With most content being completed by two or fewer groups, I'm not sure how much easier you expect it to be. It's not a solo-server and that is clearly apparent by reading the server description.

With that said, we have a suggestions forum where you can bring your ideas to light. I definitely have a plan for the server and will stick closely to it, but many suggestions have made their way in game and I can honestly say many of those were never even on my radar.

Either way, I hope you find the server that fits your style!

I can see your point on this. Reality is though there were only 4 beta testers so it's a small impact overall and just means more of their gear gets passed down to new players at a faster rate. The beta testers helped me fix over 400 issues and contributed many implemented ideas before launch so I wanted to reward them. The beta was open for nearly 3 months and we welcomed as much help as we could get.
