eq1 had multiple servers with 1k+ players and none complained about "overpop"

Classic had a muuuuuch different level distribution on those servers at this time period. Now we have people who know the game inside and out, so the low->mid level experience is much different than it was on live (which was incredibly congested).

Comparing numbers on p1999 to Live is just kinda dumb, it's a different game now than it was then.
