Why even post this? Nobody cares if you, 1 single person leaves. You know the other option, there's no way you think there's some other heavily populated classic servers that's balanced hidden somewhere in the depths of the internet. There is an authentic classic server, you know which one it is. You are just making noise to make noise. Daoc was never balanced, you can't fully balance a game like this.
Ya man, this game gets frustrating at times for me too, when it does I just take a break. On the bright side if you're finding enjoyment from playing a game with low pop like what we find on these freeshards, you have literally ENDLESS options new & old of MMOs to try out there. Even the lowest of the new MMO's are at like 10,000 at its lowest point during the day (Some will reply to prove this wrong, but those are just those who want to kick someone while they are down, same as the "Can I have your stuff" comments, or "You think we care if you leave?" When in reality you can't please everyone, but when at peak you have 1k people playing, it only takes one new game or server and we could see a quick dive like Uthgard did.) The reality is there are way more people playing games now then when we first started playing. Go check out some new MMO's, the only hard part is that there are soo many, keep an open mind, sith through the bad ones, then come back and give me some insight on which ones stuck.
