Please do a name clean up before launch for people sitting on cool names on banned accounts or other accounts that haven't logged in for over 5 years and aren't level 10+ or something

Agree 100%. I gave my account on P99 away to my guild leader when I left 4 or 5 years ago and I would like to get them back.

You have three years. I think you will be fine.

12,000 views of this thread within 7 hours of submission and there are still people who don't think it will hit 3k population at launch. Lol.

There will be over 2000 players at launch. If you don't believe this. You're in denial.
Regular Blue Players
Old Players Returning
Tourists

Won't be shocked in day 1 hits 3k. Velious launch it self was 2k+ Now we're talking a whole new fresh server.
None of which will be above level 1 at launch, expect 400-600+ people in certain noob zones.

I fear these posters may be right. Cazic Thule help us all.

I'd say just wait a week if you don't want to fight the crowds. Gives time for the people that forgot how hard it is to quit and for the remainers to move past the newbie zones.

I think 3000 is a very realistic number. I think you underestimate how many have been waiting for this server. If not for WoW Classic, I'd say 3k would have been a minimum. Now I'm not sure. Guess we'll see [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

My skepticism comes from the fact that there's not really much for 3000 people to do. Back on live there was a lot of rping, people just enjoying being in norrath, and they didn't really know what to expect. I remember when I started on live just seeing characters hanging out in random taverns in cities and what not. I don't see many people staying logged in if it's an fte race that they win 10% of the time just for xp mobs at level 10. Of course I'm an idiot and usually wrong... I mean we have hundreds of people on blue who still stare at walls for hours on end (3? 4?) years after velious.

I'm not doubting the number of interested people in this server, just how willing they'll be to be in game doing almost nothing

There were not 3000 people per server at launch (or shortly after) in general. Not on most servers at least, from what I have read and my experience on Fenin Ro. I mean, not that many people were into that stuff yet. And more importantly, not everyone who would had up to date computers, or computers at all. And they kept adding servers as needed. I started watching a college roommate play about a month after launch. Then was playing 2 months later, after playing his paladin quite a bit.

I spent a lot of time not leaving Faydark early on, but went on adventures here and there. Playing during prime time, there were maybe 15-25 people working Crushbone. Greater Faydark had a good number of folks but it wasn't like EC or anything. I had Dagnor's Cauldron to myself mostly! Haha. The rest of the world didn't seem horribly overcrowded. And I popped on other servers just to check it out and I never saw some crazy over crowded thing. They made enough servers to keep things enjoyable.

Maybe that 3000 number is the total daily players? Or at the end of Velious or something. But I doubt that either. They didn't divulge numbers then and there was no /who all count. But 3000 was certainly nothing normal. And there are many many servers.

The 3000 wasn't referring to launch, just average highs I remember seeing probably around kunark launch. There were easily 100+ in loio and sk was my haunt, usually 90+ in prime time in South katana.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all p99 staff for this amazing effort. I don't currently play on p99 or any other form of EQ, but I've been a long time fan and lurker. I plan to roll a new char on green when it launches, and I'm sure there are many out there like me.

I know this will probably fall on deaf ears, but to all of the people in this thread that have anything to say other than how awesome this is for us (i.e whiners): p99 staff do not owe you anything. How can you honestly expect a group of volunteers to make the game exactly the way YOU want it? How selfish and childish are you? You don't get to decide. End of story.

Keep up the great work p99 team and I hope all of your hard work pays off. I'm really looking forward to returning to Norrath [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Grats on 10 years!

Does anyone think that if all the global total man hours spent playing eq were instead put into curing cancer or something then there would be no more cancer 10 years ago?
