We had to wait over 10 years for green and teal... I think you can wait another hour or so.

Hope you're leveling on guards in erud palace or sharks in the middle of OOT or something. Everywhere else will have a 3-hour-long waiting list for a full group that's killing 3 mobs every 22 minutes, by the sound of the doom and gloom around here.

Enough people will quit that things will even back out again.

I was already having issues with crowding 24/7, this is only gonna make it worse.
Nobody groups because you have know what the hell you're doing just to get on this server an get everything running. So most know how solo an work the systems an don't need to group. This isn't gonna help anything, they should have waited till all the rare items where all done an removed, then merge. That would actually make sense, because lot of people here are just here for rares, if they don't get them why would they stay? What would be the point? That's exactly when the population is gonna dip the most. I still can't tell whats been removed so far and what hasn't.

Now I wanna make a guild for alts who exclusively form groups to level up in the zones that are all still 90% empty while everyone else is packing 100 deep in HHK and upper guk and complaining about it.

I'd really love statistics from the Staff about how many people played both servers at the same 2 boxing. It would mean that the joint population is lower than we think but would also mean if someone managed to get two 50s they could have amassed a ridiculous fortune by camping the big cash camps at the same time. I'd love to know if the number of people doing this is like <15% of the teal pop or <1% of the teal pop -- before I panic about economic advantage it would be nice to know how prevalent it was.

I bet it's like 5%. I am more hardcore than most and I only managed to get my boxed alts up to like 10 on teal before I got bored of trying to box and just played 1 server and AFKed during med breaks.

Like I said, you sound like you're grumpy because you're not being handed exactly what you want, when you want it, how you want it. You're purposely playing a game of limited scope, and purposely picking a small niche of the game ("level 50 content" and raiding, it sounds like)... then being confused when there isn't enough of that to go around.

If you really can't have fun on p99 without everyone's favorite zones being half empty during primetime so you can "actually play," then I mean... good riddance.
Or maybe I want to be able to play the part of the game I'm actually interested in without 300 people in the zone, because we know classic EQ has such a wealth of content zones. But sure, go ahead and act high and mighty with all that riveting exploring you're gonna do on this great cast mystery of a game.

The one solace of this is that there will probably be enough quitting it might recede down to a reasonable pop limit.
