If you want to level something on blue at the moment, you need friends who also want to level on blue (or be twinked).

New P99ers with no items/plat saved would be mad not to be on green the way things are <3

Why so much hate on blue and its population. They are just like you and I. Sure, it's not as classic as green, but it was as close as possible back in 2009. Those players put time and love into their characters and the same will be said about green in three years or so.

I don't know if it's so much as "hate" on the blue population, but rather just realistic observation of it's smaller numbers after green's launch. Some of the characters on blue are still not fully in BIS and velious has been our for quite a bit. On the flip side, there's crazy amounts of juiced up characters, and for the main raiding guilds, there's plenty of "throw away" raid loot that is spread across peoples 3rd and 4th alts that they barely play. If they put the time in, then why not.

Anyway, I think it's a natural dip and it will level out (whatever that leveling out looks like) and people will still play both. Blue is still a billion times more classic than live EQ - I see live being streamed on twitch and it weirds me out with all the transmogs, weird pets you can buy, etc. Even the TLP, that non-classicy pet animations and item transmogs, gross. At the end of the day you can't get any more classic than blue (now green, but still p99) with a population that is this bustling.

[astuce999]

If nothing is done on the management side, my prediction for 6 months down the line is:

Blue: 400-600
Green 600-800

The fluctuation will be based on the raiders who switch from one server to the other to kill a mob and then resume playing on their regular server.

1 year later it will be:

Blue: 200-400
Green: 600-800

If the impossible goal of opening multiple green servers was ever reached, I could easily see this 6 months down the line:

Blue: 400-600
Green1: 800-1000
Green2: 800-1000
Green3: 500-800
Green4(RP Preferred): 400-600

But it is again impossible :)

If you want to have an easy time leveling on Blue right now, just roll a character and go around the zones loudly proclaiming how Green isn't your thing and it's just chaos and people are so rude, not like here. There will be a pile of twinks rushing to you with full bags of loot and buffbot druids in tow.

Blue is fine. The people that were really invested in blue will have a great place to keep playing. The blue water experience of a new server is hard for anyone else to ignore.

Thats why it makes sense for green to merge into blue at the end of its cycle. To keep the full velious maxxed out server from going stale, and to keep allowing people the experience of a new fresh server every once in a while.

[kotton05]

It’s been stale a long long time gustoo. They should wipe blue and host a purple server next. Blue is perpetually tainted from past exploits.. think of blue as a beta

Blue was amazing...with anything in life, the scammers cheaters elitists and assholes ruined it for anyone that wasn't in the 1% of the server. Green will end up the same way because as always people fucking ruin everything because they are greedy and corrupt.

But it will take a bit to get green to that bullshit level blue was in the last couple years. Ill ride the nostalgia wave until green gets polluted then ill quit. OR dont be assholes and enjoy the game that used to be about community.

I have no desire to play green, because the only reason I see would be for a guise or mana stone. I don’t need a guise, and it won’t change my play style as a Druid with it. I do want a mana stone later, and my thoughts as of right now are to save play for the next 3 years, and just buy one from a poop sock when green goes to blue. Win/win. Plus not having to sit on a spawn or compete with people playing 20 hours a day is also a good thing. With all the campers gone, my guild was able to farm 12 Ring of the ancients to get everyone that wanted some JB’s a pair, without having to fork up 7k a pop. All the people that left saved us 84k, and I want to that you for that!

I think Green dipping below 1k is a bit off, or at least it's not a wager I would take. I do agree with your estimate that it will drop off sharply by the 30 day mark for the reason put forth. I think the real killer will be when the legacy item drops are removed. At that point, folks that are invested on Blue will return to that server as their primary up until Kunark launches on green. At that point, the only items worth perma farming would be Child's Tears and Circlet of Shadow, and dual box camping will be the routine. The folks that are trolling with 'blue is dead, it's all green from here out baby!' are a joke.

[Arakash]

I give it one month MAXIMUM. Green will be under 1000 daily population by then as people condense into the 30+ range and realize theres 3000ppl competing for the same 20ish experience camps.

I have 2 low to mid level characters on blue. Since I take forever to level, don't mind soloing slowly (even my warrior) and a handful of friends I play with half the time, blue is actually not a bad place now. Granted, I don't purchase equipment and I and my small group play a bit hard core (using only gear we quested/mob kill, though I had thought about buying a pre-nerf CoS for my necro) meant EC tunnel never meant much to me. (We're not in ALS)

I know I'm definitely in the minority here regarding play style. But blue's a fit right now for those of us who finally have a chance at getting a few items on our own we couldn't or didn't have the time for before. I hope the devs don't change things too much because with my play style and if blue's current population picks up slightly it's pretty old school EQ.

Green's ok. But it does have the feel of the old blue imo for some reason.

But whatever, you do you.

You're just assuming thousands of people are rerolling to get a special drop. I gave a guise away when Kunark launched and I don't even have any 'special' items on my blue accounts. I just didn't care. I still don't. Plus whoever looted it was an Erudite, so I'm sure it made them happy. The only reason I would want a guise is so that I can be an OPAF dwarf paladin but not be a miserable dwarf, and I've not even played a paladin on green yet.

On the topic of special, aside from a few... special... people, I haven't seen many complaining about toxicity beyond raiding. I guess there might be some especially stupid people playing green because they think all the raiders are going to join hands, call each other "hun" and jam out to the Polyphonic Spree together on green, but I'd say that number is even less than the people playing green for special items.

I don't see blue's population ever bouncing back. I'd bet many people were sick of a stagnant, saturated server to begin with, but lacked the willpower to quit and play a different game. The longer green remains popular the more levels/loot people farm, the less reason they have to go back to blue and the more burned out they become on EQ in general. You can relate it to all the people trying to get others to play red. Remember all their ploys and schemes and lies about how great it was and all their made-up reasons for why idiots played blue instead of coming to glorious red? You think all 17 of them are still sitting there waiting for their prophecy to be fulfilled years later? One glance at the forums says yes.

I give it one month MAXIMUM. Green will be under 1000 daily population by then as people condense into the 30+ range and realize theres 3000ppl competing for the same 20ish experience camps.

Is it technically harder? Sure. Because everything is easier when you're twinked out. But is Green hard? No not really. Been pretty easy for a full group to kill yellows and reds so far and I can generally solo yellows easily. Most of us know how to play the game at this stage. A competent group goes a long way and so far this server isn't really much harder at all than leveling on Blue.

Some truth to this for sure. Green will most likely have its lulls once everyone reaches 50 and is permacamping every raid target. At that point, people will be more inclined to log back into blue server to raid or play there and there will be a ping pong. Legacy items stopping will be another lull.

Both Kunark and Velious dropping will be big spikes again and at that point there will be big guild presence and I would imagine some will main green as they either have the same class as on blue and like the new feeling or they played a new character on green and they are liking that as well.

The biggest thing I worry about (haha worrying about EQ) is the creation of this new split eventually divides everyone enough in 3 years that this EMU loses its luster and a real low population of odd bunches stay. (~150 people). Time will tell !

Next time don't make such a toxic raiding environment that guilds want to screw each other out of warder loot and tov dragons have to be rooted

Blue community was way worse than red

Ah so you're the person with all that extra time trolling ec. Such a sad existence.

Lol I had a second window open for when I was medding

Speak for yourself, bluecel

I'm only not playing Green because of the uncertainty of this. I want all my characters in the same server at some point. If we had a definitive answer here Green might go up!

Blue is dead and once this supposed merge happens at the end of velious everyone will just play the classic green again. Just FYI.

[Nirgon]

I am there to help these people get on green before legacy drops go away

Ain't the first time and won't be the last time I get attacked for doing the right thing

No good deed goes unpunished

The people that run this place/contribute code know that for sure

Keep taking the road forward, leave the dummies behind

13.5k forum posts since you joined these forums.

That is nearly 4.5 posts a day for 8.5 years straight.

For fuck's sake I just feel bad for you after mathing that out. You will get a pass from me from now on because you are clearly touched in the head.

Misogyny is cool man.

[Caledore]

This is the point that green's pop will be the highest, and as such likely the point that blue's pop will be the lowest. It'll only increase from here.

Sure, it might not reach pre-green numbers, but it'll be healthy enough. Blue will be fine.

I don't quite get this weird hatred some people have for Blue.

Has anybody noticed that the majority of those commenting negatively to the Blue server and trying to wish it to fail are from Red?

Either way, I'll concede that the raid environment on Blue has always been quite toxic. It's important to note that those same people are 100% there on Green to block pixels from normal players. The problem I had on Blue was there always seemed to be too many people at prime time.now that problem is being corrected.

I think most people with a) families b) jobs c) characters invested in Blue d) more Casual playstyle, will play on Blue. I plan to maintain characters casually on both.

Let me restate. Played on Red. Just a glance at previous posts from a lot of them, I see a lot of pvp and red section posts.

Hmmmm... it's almost like a subset of people who get off on schadenfreude and are therefore drawn to griefing everyone except for the last 12 players off the PVP server are also giddy at the prospect of some other server dying on a lot of people....

[Daloon]

Rooted dragons on blue

or server enforced lines embedded into the code on Green

Neither are classic EQ

[Gustoo]

I am in the same boat as blue players that don't really have time to level another character to 60. Gustoo is probably going to be my first and last character to be level 60. He is actually level 59.

I see a lot of sick pixel hungry posts from blue people and it scares me in real life.

Just like with red, the horrible representation on the forums that blue has does not match its actual playerbase. I don't have anything against blue just the people that are trying to hedge against change by trying to make sure blue never merges with green.

Green has the most to lose by merging to blue.

TBH I really love this game, thats why I spend time here. I really think the game is better with PVP but I am pretty much an anti pk soft hearted softy. I just like the way it helps people relate to one another. There is danger and you don't go around being an asshole the way people on green and blue are assholes to eachother. There are consequences. It really just completes the hostile world environment. Once you are level 60 and only go to established camps you know how to run, the game is trivialized. PVP helps it not be trivialized and means your relationships keep making a difference. You can't solo farm for 24/7 while treating people like garbage.

PVP was like 1/10 the population of original EQ playerbase but is substantially more than ratio of population on this emulator. Its anyones guess how a new pvp server would do right now. Its a matter of wondering how many pvp players are not willing to play green right now, but would hope on for pink.

I think the original staff concept makes the most sense. Blue is the end game server that remains permanently end game. Once green progresses beyond velious for a time, it rolls into blue and a new time line server opens up. We're talking about 4 + years of real life time between these server launches, you won't need to be part of the next bum rush, but you can be.

GM events can become more regular on blue, to keep it mixed up. Other stuff.

I was thinking maybe red should be dumped to blue too, just to clean things up. Its a tough call.

The fact is that we are all EQ players and all are more alike than we are different. For me and some others, I wouldn't be here unless there was a pvp server and the promise of the pvp server.

Overall this staff has been incredibly excellent and has served this community incredibly well. We are lucky that this project began 10 years ago and has salvaged real everquest for those of us that love it.

Maybe one day someone will find some hard drive in some pile of hard drives that has original server side code for EQ and we can take this thing to the next level. Anything is possible.

Once Velious runs its course on Green it sure as hell better merge into Blue. Having two identical era servers with splintered populations isn't really healthy for p99, in my opinion. Until that time I'll level and play on both servers and enjoy some new experiences. A true evergreen Green server would be awesome.

Not in any sort of recent history. I've been tracking emu population trends for a while; *now and then* you'll see Red be more than 6-8% of the Blue/Red total, but not very often, and then just for a day or so.

Rise of Zek took a big portion of Red, but it's also pretty small compared to blue, even now where Green is sucking all the oxygen out of the room.

When the math is done to have 13,500 post in such a time frame.

This is surreal.

I am talking about people who prefer pvp servers, not people who prefer red99 or roz both dead boxes.

[astuce999]

Yes. You have to read all their comments from their nihilistic viewpoint; their unique goal is failure, so they are very consistent in how they relay information/facts/opinions/predictions.

For example, they are the most vocal about the Green server not splitting up into two or multiple servers, so we can easily deduce that they strongly believe that such a split would spell success and they must stop it at all costs.

It's good times,

Astuce

[Gustoo]

People coming to p99 and seeing two weak ass 700 pop green servers are not going to know which to choose and can't do the math to see how many total pop and understand the reason for the split and will go back to wow or whatever.

1 server hi pop is exciting. That reason alone is worth keeping 1 green. Troll bait accepted.

I'm afraid deleting blue might lead to a major suicide wave among obese male mid-40s across the US.
