Who Plays on Firiona Vie? Sept 2012 VersionFollow

I dont play on FV atm but have a low level bazaar "scout" there and last week I logged him in on FV to see what the trader population was like there as I've noticed a slow but steady drop off in the population on AB where I've played all my life in EQ..

There were around 200+ traders on FV at about 10 pm est.... That compared to 90-110 traders max on AB server these days.

I know this is not accurate, but it does indicate that it is alive and well since the free transfer to FV was initiated. I am actually considering doing the once unthinkable act of moving all of my main characters from AB to FV. I'm just a bit apprehensive because once I move to FV I can never leave.

One thing I noticed though was that the prices being asked for some items in the bazaar chat was in the millions of platinum. i.e. someone was asking 2.1 million for one raid level chest piece with type 15 Aug, a weapon and a few damage augs.

I know that some of the ZAM contributers play there so I hope they reply as they'll be able to give you more details.

I still play there...but lately I've been in Gw2. However all of my toons (both accounts) are on FV so if I ever log in... you can bug me for a temp

I play full-time on there as well as lead my own guild. ~smile~

But yes, it does have a healthy population. During prime time, there's usually 3 general chats going on. =)

~giggle~ I have the General Chat channels off by default because I got tired of seeing Lucerin speak. The sheer stupidity made my brain melt a little bit. I occasionally turn it on if someone is b*tching about one of my guildmates (I'm guild leader and I wanna know if any of my members are being jerks, hehe).

Anywho, I don't mind being stalked. I think? As long as you bring cookies and stuff. ;)

I'm actually really good friends with her hubby, who also happens to play on Firiona Vie too. I didn't even know who his wife was (Lucerin) until a few months later when he mentioned her. But yeah, the personal things he's told me about her.... I could so write a big novel about it. ;)

~giggle~ If it weren't for my friendship with her hubby, I would so tell everyone ;)

I moved my toons to FV a while back and never looked back. Been a great experience. Not online much lately due to demands of RL but I am planning to play more. I'm a sucker for level cap increases so I need max out 95 before xpac goes live and then do the grind to 100.

Who ever anticipated an EQ toon could be Level 100! That's double the original cap and, boy, did that seem HIGH and virtually (yeah, double meaning there lol) unattainable at the time.

In terms of the aforementioned player, let's not derail this interesting thread! But I will say this: there are a number of "types" of players in EQ and a very interesting book could be written on these various "types", maybe with real examples from the game, but with toon names changed to protect everyone involved. THAT would make for interesting reading. Actually I may start a thread to discuss "types" of players. No real players to be mentioned, just the "types" and see if people see themselves in the descriptions.
