the premium all access server is due to open Wednesday Dec 9, 2015 @ 2pm pst / 5pm est / 10pm gmt.
As with the other two new servers (practise to confirm that that 3rd and 4th try they could go back to an orig eq game) population will be heavy for the first month or two, character select access que (sometimes) took TWO hours, and we waited in the old eq chat room... No chat devs were there, and the *urds often spamed chat (mouse click their name in the lower right name panel and select ignore to block their spam and again be able to have legit dialogue.)
After Rage server opened the PAYING subscribers pleaded with dbg (DayBreakGames--Columbus Nova) to open another server as so many tried to get in, one was literally a few THOUSAND down in que for a entry slot! Instead dbg did everything they could EXCEPT open another server... cap server pop, force que for access, kick afk people (a month later) that after finally getting in -- leaving that char afk untill they decided they had time to actually play the game.
After a few months those too cheap to buy longer subscription.. there was no wait to get into the server.
Starter zones the first week will have 100+ lvl 1-5 ksin (KillStealing) each other.
In the patcher/options one can disable new character models and go back to the old orig eq (99.03.16) char models (256b models was not till Luclin the 3rd expansion [01.12.04].) They did however have shared bank slots (Ykesha 5th expansion [03.02.25], but no frog chars, and beastlord is not till Luclin.)
