No bolsters, always RVR flagged, 20 lvls wide tiers.
Started playing retail game on Eltharion, so yeah.

The fact that pvp servers died first ( or second after rp-pvp servers :D) speaks volumes of Mythics implementation. :)

Nah was never an issue really. People joined warbands and groups instead of runnting around solo, it was kinda the whole idea behind it. It made PQ's a place of ganking wich drew groups to kill the gankers at the PQ whick lead to warbands invading the PQ to kill the group. The RVR servers died first coz of casual MMO players didn't like getting ganked when doin quests. The inital buzz of the game ,"the WoW killer", drew moastly PVE focused people and having people spread out while population dropping was the issue, not the RVR server rules themself.

Pretty much this. Eltharion was the first server I played on, and a large draw for me was being able to go around the whole world and hunt for enemies. Carebears tend to get their way, though :x

Ok.

I remember groups of r20 twinks ganking new players in starting area. That probably didnt contribute at all to killing the servers.

Loved fighting players at the pqs myself.

Exactly my feelings. Less bonuses for carebear premades, more for soloers.

It always was like that.

With 48 bolstered 26 lvl WL on old guardian specced i was more deadlier then with bis gear ;p
All you gotta know is how to stack proper stuff.

Suck it up and play.

Bolstering is too strong?
Renown gain from low level is too low?
You want to whine cause some WH/WE cucked you in lakes? Or it was Shammy/AM?
Someone got killed by a bolstered toon?
