[Eighty Swords]

ok thats fine and explains part of the reason for newcomers to leave. How about all the oldschool xuo and in players?

Hmm I think you answered your own question - OLDschool players. These guys are older now and just don't have the same amount of time to put into UO, and there are other more intriguing things we can do. Menace would you rather hang out with some friends at a bar or play uo?

And at some point UO gets boring. You can only do the same thing for so long. I'm not saying IN:X has a lack of content to offer players, I am saying you won't do something you don't like and eventually you will get bored of what you do like. Ex: If you like to pvp and not to go hunting, you're not going to keep going hunting. You will keep pvping and eventually get bored with it. Or the other way around, if you like hunting and not pvping, you will keep hunting and will eventually get bored of it.

It's like this with all games. We all got bored of D2 sooner or later but we all still had a great time playing it. But if we were to all go back and play it today, we wouldn't play it for as long as we used to. Maybe at first but once you got your character to level 80-90 you'd be bored again.

Basically, I'm saying the new players leave because some people are jerks towards them, and the older players leave because they have other things to do with their lives.
