I was officially the 601'st person when I logged in tonight.

Have we previously passed 600 before? Awesome numbers....so glad to see this place taking off.

And shortly there after... the server died! (well it did for me and my group) Good milestone though! P99 FTW!!!

No. Live servers had 1500-3000. There're a lot of unused zones. The more the merrier.

I remember when we were stoked to have 80 able to play, and 100 people being too much for the server!

God this whole project gives me a gigantic e-boner.

I remember logging onto a ghetto-ass server long down the list on EQ-EMU that had about 1 to 3 people topping out around 8 people last summer ... and the majority of the players were the devs Nilbog and Aeol always fixing random junk.

god what a long road it's been.

The long dusty road...Thanks Dev pals. (p.s. i knew my 300+ prediction was right way back when!)

Nice pic of Gnomer and the OG guild of this server!

Ya that's the only non-beta SS because olympia reminded me about that guy, so i figured i'd post the first crushbone train i saw that killed him :)

[Tudana]

Its spring Break too remember...

I have a few questions i been wondering about on this subject though.
What will it take from the community to stabilize the servers? more $$? for bigger hardware?

Just how massive can this version of the MMO go before "live" tightens the leash?

on a side note; I do recall classic EQ in 1999 crashing a lot as well and being laggy laggy. is all thsi normal then?

Awesome thread. :D

The screenshots are sick. I will never forget that maestro raid just because our raid composure was awful...

1 Warrior, 2 Ench, 2 Cleric and a Bard .. and then we had people shooting arrows ><
