SP was dead in 2004 when I left for Warcraft....all the years after that I would say maybe it dwindled here and there but nothing compared to what it had been and just losing more and more players..

Calamity saw this also and probably bailed for a larger population AS DID OTHERS..Thats my point.

And to the thief...sorry try again...I know who you are...you were not factions when I was there...you were just a thief looking for newbie clothes in general (go figure)..no factions...

Play here are you like guys..but dont expect the population to grow..

Im sorry if this comes across like a flame but...I think its pretty pathetic that none of you can see the obvious....even after YEARS of playing the same game.

sorry to crush your dream but it WASNT dead in 2004 and it wasnt dead 2 years and a half ago

Dude if you dont wanna play siege fine but your trashing poeple that do and we are agianst people taking the easy way of this shard if ya dont wanna play siege dont but dont come here and trash poeple that do play siege

population is dead because players would rather play with insurace in other shards hmm lets recap
evo took there guild to another shard,
tnt took there guild to another shard,
Dota took there guild off the shard agian,
nadal you even took your guild to another shard

HMM gets ya thinking that if you guys actually came back and could deal with NO INSURANCE again things would be fine but you 3 guilds just come to these boards to pancake about a dead shard that you caused. I know non insurance isnt for everyone so to those of you i understand but to the rest of you quit complaining and get yer ass back to siege and just play

one person can make a difference it only takes one person to bring your guild back promate siege to your guild members again because IMO siege is the only shard worth playing

People are leaving because there just isn't alot of people playing atm..not because of insurance...but lack of action or tired of tamer pvp or just tired of the same old griefers like diablo

EVO says they left because there was no one to fight on Siege

TNT says they left EA because there was no fights on Siege

Alot of JSV/WCB/KIN left because there was no fights on Siege
 

Shh!

I cannot help you with your lack of recall. I remember you, even attacked you once (obviously I ran away). I have never looked for newbie clothes other than a kilt (which I wear on top of my armor). I also had a character here and played with Mo before this account. Now, run along back to Trammel because I'm guessing that even the forums here are too dangerous for you.

lol thats my point before they all left they all were here if they all come back there would be poeple its a catch 22 untill they all come back there is no one to fight RIGHT THATS MY POINT they gotta come back or quit pancakes about it beign dead because its there fault its dead

and it take more then logging in for 10 min and say "ahh its dead" and log off it takes a little more its to say i love playing in siege and this is where i play and just play it really is just that simple ,but what ever, its to much for some to handle i guess

And how many times have we tried exactly this?

Who was it that set up the previous buy backs and revitalized the shard?

And what happened..?

What you are seeing is what happens when people Finally Finally get sick of being neglected.. We have tried for years to prop siege up on the balsa wood crutches that they gave us and low and behold, we said do "this" or siege will die... Guess what, it is.

There are too many bad systems in place that counter act the revitalization of the shard, Even if 20 extra people started logging in, The second they lose their suit and the price of getting it back sets in, we get back in the same boat.

(Answers: Many times, The PvPers, It didn't hold.)

Even when all these guilds were playing(and at the same time) it was still slow

There would be bursts of fighting followed by hours of stat loss, house hiding until you had numbers ect ect ect When it was on for that hour it was awesome fun...then it was done for the night :)

Siege needs alot more than a handfull of disillusioned ex fulltime Siege players to return to make it a viable option.

Players go to where they can enjoy the game to its fullest extent.

You want to see the population grow? I gave you a reasonable and very viable solution.

I don't care what happens to Siege..I like a lot of people here...but its dead...so I moved on to where it isn't dead.

More importantly the devs don't care about siege either. This game has a minimal player base..siege is not their priority in terms of this player base...for a good reason.

So don't expect them to come micro manage this shards problems. I would think after years of playing here and posting about your dwindling population thousands of times would bring this to your attention.

yes siege is dieing but its not becasue of buybacks it because of the neglect of the players. if you want something go get it what happened to all the minor arties that were once in game yes i know faction gives you a advantage but if you dont have the silver whats wrong with use a non faction HOTL (example)

im just saying there used to be lots of arties in game that arent now why?
i would use em matter of fact i have a few suits that i can play with that are non faction why isnt this common practice? i also have a few suits that are faction again why isnt this common practice? i dont and have never depended on buybacks in fact for the longest time i refused to buy back, i currently buy back if i see on vendors.

and swis i get it for those of you that dont wanna play here but dont come trash others that enjoy and only play siege(im not saying you do im just generalizing)

I PLAY IN SIEGE FULL TIME i dont expect everyone to but people that dont shouldnt trash on people that do play siege just becasue they dont agree with there ideas on making it more like prodo just play your prodo shard and enjoy it because thats what im tryin to do here

.
your problem sounds more faction.
if in factions i understand i have a stat loss, i plan for it i expect it, i resuit and im back in 20 min
that shouldnt have been an issue and if it was quit factions and join non faction guild with the arties that are in play nowadays in the abyss and imbuing you can make a pretty sweet suit without faction items and still have a blast pvping and not go into stat

I think you misunderstand me bud...it wasn't that I was always dead ( though I had my fair share of dirtnaps ) it was that once a fight broke out and was finished...it would be another 30-60 minutes before people came back in numbers.

If you have an hour or two to play that means if your lucky two rounds of fights. On another shard...you just log on and go fight ( thats the difference ) at the gate if you really want to and can fight for a solid two hours :)

I have an imbuer and between my level one faction items and imbued gear I could put together suits fairly cheap. I still can put together a decent suit cheap...I also have an alchemist, tailor, smith ect ect I stock a fairly decent set of vendors for kegs, enhanced bandies, poison items, apples, cheap lrc suits and dexer stam/mana inc suits in the hopes it helps get people equiped and playing.
