Maybe those people should play WoW or a live TLP server with instancing.

Did you guys even play on live? This is sort of close, but really not even that close to what just ONE out of dozens of server population was in 1999 (yes, pre-Kunark, I played). I get that people are unhappy they're falling behind because they want to go to the same high ZEM zones like everyone else, but that's classic. I guarantee there's mobs up all over that if people want to get xp, they can go there.

I've always had the most respect for your guys' relentless dedication to creating the most classic EQ experience, no matter how much people object to loss of quality-of-life things that are everywhere in MMOs now like instancing, so this is a huge disappointment. I've worked hard on Green but idk what the point is now if you're going to have 2 ez mode servers because they'll both have 1k pop. We've got 7 months of legacy items.. Are people really babyraging that hard because people are already getting manastones while they're still level 10?

I played at live launch as well, it was not like this as they rolled out fresh servers almost weekly.

Case in point, I can only play during peak times for 1-2 hours. I matched what I did in one night on a HYBRID (erudite pally) what I did in 2 nights on my troll shammy. Game just wasn't made to support 75 people in the starting zones on off peak times

Nice [You must be logged in to view images.

There will always be people who don't like the idea, but I, for one, support it. Thanks again for the great server(s) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The high population is part of the reason some people aren’t playing. Therefore, when the new server opens, the total population of both servers will probably exceed that of Green.

I’m saying 2500 / 2 could result in 1500. 2800 / 2 could be 2000.

Population will remain classically high.

I agree with this sentiment because I personally haven't been playing much because there is simply never anything much to kill and it gets super boring just waiting around on spawns. Maybe classic was this crowded, but I played everquest pretty early on and I never experienced anything even remotely like this. Every players classic experience was different depending when they started playing and how high a population the server they started on was at that time. There were certainly plenty of people in newbie zones, but still wasn't even 1/5 of what I see here. I wouldn't be surprised if both servers are hitting population numbers close to 2000 which is still probably gonna be real crowded, but possibly allow a little more wiggle room for people that are a bit more casual to level.

I d recommend no box between Green and Teal if that isnt already obvious.

RIP Blue. I have an idea. Have blue go to Luclin. Just remove the bazaar trader function, disable the spire porters to Luclin and bring out wizard and druid spells at launch.

Thank god.

Was a pretty miserable experience in troll and ogre starting zones. I rolled a erudite pally to get away from the crowds tonight just because I couldn't take it another night, and now I like the character. Thanks a lot p99 staff...
