Is blue making a come back?

When people realized they needed to play for 36 hrs straight to get a manastone and that doing "it all again" for the gear grind they already did on blue they seem to be hopping back on blue (home).

Their fungi twink monk suddenly feels alot better to play then their cloth wearing fine steel clubbin monk on teal.

Population thinning was the best result from this...a classic/velious/Kunark server is best around 600-800 players at peak.

This pretty much sums up why Blue isn't going anywhere.

Weekends are repop times right now for raiding, on top of being...weekends. So its a little of both probably but I think green/teals numbers are thinning at the same time a smattering of people are logging back on to blue for batphones and scheduled casual raids now that they are hitting 50 or close to it on the new servers. Not sure if a comeback is the right word but will be interesting to monitor as time goes on, and as fear/hate release for green/teal.

Green 630
Tael 590
Blue 394
----------
1220 people playing fresh EQ and 394 on Blue. Green getting divided into 2 servers is making blue look bigger than it is.

Saturday and Sunday was also 7 day cycle repop windows.

But still, Blue is far from dead...and in my humblest of opinions, better now thanks to Green / Teal. Most of the pricks, aspies, etc are gone to what they feel are greener pastures. Good riddance I say.

I imagine as time goes on blue will get more and more populated as people start feeling the lack of content on green/teal. Once Kunark launches though green/teal will have another giant increase.

This, although some of the more interesting Green/Teal patches (like the ones that add the planes) might lower Blue's pop temporarily too.

Uncontested camps were fun while they lasted [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Yea the rubber-band was expected.

Green/Teal is still throttling the concurrent blue player base but that's what happens when competition opens up. Hopefully in the end if they merge servers it will be an overall bump in the player base.

Mother blue is fine.
The raid scene is healthy. Good exp opportunities.
Downsides are the reduced activity in the tunnel and lack of porters for hire.
