1,500 is way too many players for one EQ server.

Speaking of agreeing to disagree. Lol. 1500 is barely enough.
An EQ server shouldn't have zones like unrest, MM, karnors, oasis, overthere, etc with 15-25 people leveling and zones like najena, sola, kerra isle, nurga totally empty. 1500+ is nuts when 90% of those people are packed into a dozen zones, but that'll change quickly. Level ranges widen so that more zones are in use at once, people reroll or start making alts, the initial surge dies down, etc. Green after less than 4 days has level ranges from 1 to 30+; about 1/3 are 1-5 still, about 1/3 are 6-10, and about 1/3 are 11+. By the 1-week mark, things will have settled down significantly. There are a half dozen or more zones to level in at any given level, and once the population is spread across only 12-15 levels (let alone 25+ later), even at peak you won't see zones with 100 people in them unless they're big dummies who purposely go to places like MM even when they saw it overcrowded the night before.
If green didn't even have 1500 for launch, it'd have been a very not-classic feel by the end of the year, with everyone just huddling together in the handful of "standard leveling zones" like they do on blue.
