- 100 would log on.
- 75 would res kill and talk smack about how they just killed your level 35 guy XPing.
- The haves would endlessly farm the have-nots until everyone quit of boredom and frustration (again).
rinse...repeat...

We start with 100, 75 people run 25 off the server, 75 stay to PvP is what you are getting at? Gaining 100 is great losing 25 sucks, keeping 75 is better then what is there now....
So easy to become a "have" right now... Free scales/glass from all those keeps makes the game easier then Ywain even if you start at lvl1 or free lvl to 40... Go /anon, /statsanon until you are ready to PvP at 50 etc etc....

Even if the pop was 100 right now, how do you grief people? So many zones to gain XP, Scales, Glass, BP, and even RP... You can switch places so much that people hunting you down is not worth the time... Almost like Gaheris, just keeps give massive rewards and you can roll any toon combo and PvE any where right now freely... Doing /anon also works wonders...
There are only so many places to hunt that have level appropriate experience. There are people who would stay logged on all day to camp these places and kill the level 35-49s with their twinked out 50s. Problem with DAoC unlike UO is that there is no escape once someone finds you.
People on Mordred don't want fun/fair fights. They want to gank easy prey and collect kills/solo kills/RPs. This isn't even just my opinion, it's been fact for years there.

There are tons of places from all 3 realms to go XP... You can also add NF into the mix on Mordred.
If there were 100 people, pretty sure you could ask some other 50 to go gank those 50's who are killing the XP'ers. Would be free RP's  |

I thought when you did a /who on Mordred it didn't tell you peoples levels or locations. Wouldn't it be hard to pull this off.
Anyway, your argument might make sense if it hasn't been tried a million times. There is a reason that this server is stone cold dead after all these years. There was a Teamlead that ran special events, championed for and got special bonuses just for Mordred, and posted endlessly here before VN died to attract more players. None of that attracted more people or encouraged them to stay.
Even if you manage to get to 50 and twink out your character, unless you are a portal jumping Warlock or a Vampiir or one of the other OP characters you will probably have a crappy time. The portal jumpers are the worst. I think that is what ruined it for me every time I came back.

I 100% agree portal jumping is lame. Toicen the RP farmer for example only will PvP near a ToA Djinn. I think it would be fun to PvP in areas you can port to but not out of like Humberton for example, just have to tell people to come fight there...
Yes /who on Mordred just says the names and you can't tell where they are. It is good for server pop to not be /anon but to stay hidden go /anon and chances are you will never be found.
Warlocks and Vamps I haven't seen that much but can be killed if you play smart.
Getting a GOOD template and ML's is not hard at all with the ease of taking keeps for scales/glass. With the fact NO ONE can do ML10 on Mordred you also don't have that garbage to deal with/get.
I personally think since the game has evolved the PvP server has as well. The shit talking also happens on Ywain, I love it when people I kill login to talk shit.

Think about what you just said for a moment and ask yourself where those two fit into class balance.
If Mythic actually gave a damn about the game and tried to work on they could probably fix many of these imbalances and possibly make the server viable.
It's always been a specialty server with no support though, and there is a reason that the large red information box comes up letting you know this before hand.
Honestly, anyone still playing this game should just be grateful that the lights are still on.

Considering there website doesn't even work I agree 
Nothing will change unless people try it for themselves and IMO the server greatly changed... |
