I really feel like reading through these responses, that most of these people were not around for the launch of blue or red servers

But hey why should that stop anyone from wild speculation

I haven't read the entire thread, so sorry if I repeat any information.

The server first 50 on Blue was Galahad the Barbarian Shaman. As far as I remember it was two roommates who alternated "shifts" to solo the character to 50. They then alternated "shifts" to solo the Shaman with Sever the Warrior in group AFK to get Sever to be the server first 50 Warrior.

I think there will be a sacrifice to get the server first 50. I could see things like two people duoing up into their late 30s, early 40s, and then having one person sacrifice their own experience by being out of group and letting the other person get full exp. Effectively doubling someone's killing speed.

I could have seen a dedicated bard getting ahead of the curve and getting to some of the Karana zones to themselves and rushing to 50. However with the recent Bard AoE findings, that may be jeopardy.

The server first 50 will definitely be someone soloing or duoing to max level. The soloers all hit level 50 so much faster than the groupers the first time around.

Though I do agree with you, when I was playing a druid on blue just recently I grouped with 5 other people that were doing it no buffs and only self geared, and by the time we were 22+ in upper guk grouping the exp like started SCREAMING compared to all the naked soloing.

That said I totally agree with you, but am wondering if we're just getting really good at grouping pve content on p99 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

edit: doh, I'm suddenly realizing if over population is an issue that totally would not be the case at all and it would favor the solorers so duhhhh never mind.

I always get confused when someone says "20 year old game." Implying that the worthiness of an activity in a game is somehow inversely proportionate to its age. Would it be ok for people of whatever age range you suppose to get server firsts in a brand new game?

Who cares how old it is? If you're here playing it you probably regard it as the best game ever. I know I do, I have zero interest in playing the most popular trash of the day.

And, generally, older stuff is better. Modern music is complete junk, all the best music is well over 100 years old.

You win by default if you pull the plug [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There is always someone that wants to be first, that's fine. Hell the WoW Classic server they even had folks that were paid to stream and be first and they still lost to a guy soloing to top level.

To each their own.
