Temporarily splitting Green?

Why would you request this? Makes no sense. I am starting to doubt if anyone is even responding with serious replies any longer.

No one is interested in having a constructive, meaningful conversation. Just neck bearding everywhere.

Ultimately, splitting the server or doubling spawn rates is essentially the same thing. But a major part of classic everquest is the sense of cohesion and community, and server splitting and instancing wrecks that. Artificially increased spawn rates are not classic, granted, but at least everyone is still in the same boat with everyone else. The social aspect is crucial and I'm not eager to abandon it just because some stuff is hard during the first week of release.

WTH are you talking about? If you split in half right now there will still be 800 - 1000 players per server. What is going on here?

And "stuff won't be harder the first week". It will be worse when everyone only has a few zones to pile into (guk, sola) and they can't. not splitting the server will make the population lower than if you do. Not sure why no one sees that.

The higher in level the server gets, the worse this overpopulation issue will become. People are not going to drop off the first week or the first month, they will stay here and play, if they can play...

Which they cannot currently do. So they will leave.

Discussion is pointless. A vote was taken and the majority voted against a split. It’s the way it is. Sorry you were in the minority, but it is what it is.

No its not pointless. Rogean said they will revisit. And we do not know if the majority was against a split. that is just speculation on your part. It may have been that it was too close and instead of making a decision, he backed off to see if people would want the split later on.

Dang man I dunno what to say right now. Is the problem that there aren't enough exp mobs on planet norrath for all the players trying to exp grind them right now?

I guess its valid. At this point I feel like they are unlikely to do a split because the poopsock 1x skelly spawn is going to slowly wind down and the people that suicided through this period will probably feel bad that their deep efforts get nerfed if they make it easier for everyone when they have had like 1 day to camp manabones.

If you take a vote on something and then do/don't take a course of action based on the vote, it's pretty clear how the vote went.

And you're right, they said they may revisit it later. If they do, then at that time make all the threads you want discussing a split and lobbying for it. For the time being, there's no split, so deal with it until the question is raised by the staff again (if it is).

Green has not been up long enough yet to get an idea of player load cycles.

This absolutely sucks. Split the server, if not a few times. Seriously... if you're just a normal person without a premade group or guild from blue, the experience of this server is horrible.

Examples? I played a couple hours tonight, joined a great fun group killing dervs, then went and soloed for about an hour and was able to find a job to kill within 10 seconds every time I stopped medding. Not seeing the issue.
