Yeah and people are playing it right now, guise is a novelty within that confine. If you are running across the commons and see a Dark Elf paladin come running by.. thats neat.

The guise was always valued for its novelty and the fact only so many had it. More practical for an Ogre/Troll warrior perhaps but its not so cool because those races have classes that a Dark Elf can be (bar shaman which is also cool with guise).

Plenty of people played in era here. 20 years old has nothing to do with it other than a catchphrase on the forums.

lol all these people thinking that Green will be low or die off. This server is going to be maxed the fuck out from day 1. Everybody be climbing in like it's the last fallout shelter during a nuclear strike.

Ya'll are going to find out what it's like to camp scalded rats in Dagnors because everything is gonna be cleared.

You people really don't know that there were over a million accounts created to play p1999 over the years? How many of those players are gonna come back to try Green? A shitload I promise you. And all it will take is a few thousand to burn the fucker to the ground.

It may have been mentioned, but won't the server likely be capped at say 2k or whatever? Can the servers here handle 3k? 4k?

I think there's a fair number of abandoned/rarely used accounts on blue, and those players may very well make their way back for this new reboot. I would not be surprised in the least to see the dial hit 3k if allowed.

Then again nasty lag in certain zones or even server wide was also classic in the early days so...

The correct response to someone picking out of your swarm, btw, is to zone the rest of your kite and come back to the pickers all dead.

This guy plays everquest.

I agree it's gonna be loaded, but you people really don't know that there were over a million accounts created to play p1999 over the years? How many of those players are gonna come back to try Green? A shitload I promise you. And all it will take is a few thousand to burn the fucker to the ground.

You think there's going to be anything even remotely close to being remotely close to being remotely close to 1 million players? It's a pointless number in this case. You don't even know how many of the people who made all these accounts are still alive, let alone how many plan to play p99.

Green will probably have 2-3000 people on it at the start, which is a pretty accurate number. Yes, it will be overpopulated. Let me remind every delusional paradiser of when WoW came out and you had to spend an hour doing 1 quest because of all the other people also doing it. Meanwhile Blizzard is rolling in billions of dollars. People will level, the playerbase will spread, some people will stop playing so hardcore, some will quit.. etc etc. It's going to be oversaturated for a while, yes, but that's why camps were created. There is a reason orc1 and derv1 are special memories to veteran live players. It's not because you can just run around claiming 100 spare roamers like on blue.

Never did I suggest or even imply that 1 million accounts would be online for Green. It was a figure used to help people who seem to think it will be underpopulated understand that even a tiny fraction of those offline accounts coming back would set fire to the server.

The issue will really be over-, not under-population.

Again, this one really depends on what will happen to Green at the end of its Velious timeline life cycle. If they stick to the old plan they mentioned, all the players are dumped on Blue and Green recycles fresh. And if that's the fuggin' case, a LOT of people are just going to stay on blue and farm with a lower pop that's temporary. Green will just be a classic timeline novelty and nothing more.

Also, I think Classic WoW is going to snag a sizeable portion of the people who would have potentially played/stayed on P1999's servers. Say a prayer for their souls when they find out Blizz was pulling numbers out of their butts and discover that mob AC, damage values, and loot drop rates are NOT classic at all.
