Red vs Blue when Velious launches
 

Blue:

• 3000 people log on for Velious Release
• Iceclad Ocean crashes when 3000 people zone in at once
• 100 people clicking air for an hour for Scout Charisa and Lodizal
• Class C guilds spend hours in ToV "accidentally" training each other with Flurry Drakes
• No one eats or sleeps for 3 weeks

Red:

• 800 people log on for Velious release
• Asshats attempt to crash Iceclad ocean by making 500 L1 gnomes with fireworks.
• Holocaust/Fresh team up to kill the Kromzek Captain and Lodizal with 500 players
• Raid guilds spend hours in ToV "accidentally" training each other with Flurry Drakes
• No one eats or sleeps for 3 weeks

You really think red would hit that kind of population? Dreams can happen but I expect Velious to actually lose lots of Red players as the majority try to push their already geared blue toons into fresh content.

Yea, expect the number of 'Come play red!' threads to increase tenfold once Velious hits.

I'm firmly of the mind that most red players have 60's on blue and are just bored.

i wouldn't expect red to be above 100 when velious hits. though its hard to judge how many ppl would box to play on both at the same time.

You forgot to mention arena trains. Velks trains and 100-200 rez tells from people falling.

Come explore velious by yourself! Watch two other people attempt to consider you per day from the horizon! Die to hyper twinked griefers IN THE SNOW!!

I won't be high level and won't do anything until warrens launches... and then... erudite population will skyrocket wth new #1 newb zone... where I will live alongside the Muglwomp and terrorize any and all who dare to brave the warrens!

I think people on blue are in for a rude awakening when Velious hits. It might be a year until your average player gets in on a lodizal kill.

Higher population has its advantages but also some really big downsides. Raid scene going to be really ugly early. Lodizal locked down for a year or more, good luck on that one.

We're going for a no healer AoW kill boys
