otherwise you're looking at around 1000 at off hours and 2300 at peak hours spiking to 2500+ after a quake.
That's what the numbers would look like if the servers merged today and yes that is unplayable garbage. Verant split povar with less than 2300 at peak hours and did it again as it steadily averaged 2k. Clearly the game is not designed for that kind of population.
I fail to see why you have multiple threads to stir the same pot? Are you that desperate to see a merge? The last patch is barely in and you want everyone to start over?
even if the population numbers were what the devs want to see before they merge and i think they are much higher right now, I would expect they'd wait at least 6 months.
It doesn't even make sense to me why you're pushing this all over the boards, granted i'm weird i despise leveling so starting over on a new server yet again is a hard pass.
EDIT: are you in europe or working an odd schedule? I get up around 10am eastern daily and when i log in between 1030 an 11 on my mule blue is consistently between 500 and 600 and green between 700 and 800, the numbers go up from there as the day goes on. The only time i see the numbers you quote is when i log off at night around 3 am eastern.

Lmao what are you smoking? We never have 2,300 players online at the same time, even primetime on weekends. The most characters we ever had online was ~2k and as I said in another comment that was in 2018 over the winter holidays.
The most we've seen on Green and Blue in the aggregate in the past year is like 1,700-1,800 (and I believe that was a weekend evening and may have had a quake (although I can't recall for sure if there was a quake or not)).
You do realize there is a website that tracks the server population for the last 12 months so literally everything you're saying can be factually checked and disproven?
EDIT: Also, just to address your misleading comment on the Povar split, that was in November 2000. It was decided that pop ranges from 2,300-2,500 were too large for a server with just classic old world and Kunark. By the time Velious was reached, many servers had OVER 3,000 PLAYERS online on average at any given time of day; there were new servers launched either just before or right after Velious launch IIRC and those servers were roughly 2k players online on average throughout the day. I was CSR in era and can confirm all of that is accurate. So basically everything you're saying is 100% COMPLETELY INCORRECT.
