As many have said this experience is unique to EQ, fighting for resources and using wit to get ahead of the pack. Not only this but we're only in our first few weeks of lauch! 90% of the pop here are casual types like me who will probably never make those higher levels due to other commitments. The neckbeards camping the nice items will be same neckbeards regardless, just now they will have the chance to get 2x as many of said items. Give it time and the pop will reduce anyway and you can keep the integrity of green intact.

The increase in items will perfectly match the increase in players. A hyper small game like vanilla strangleholding the amount of items that 3000 players wants is shameful. Please don't get mudflated economics confused with players being able to play the darn game.

Will green and Teal be dual boxable? I am hoping NO

What does this kind of post accomplish? If we spent less time ripping each others throats out, we may actually get the message across. Having a giant pissing match accomplishes nothing.

Idk but don't pin the pissing match on me because I'm not shy about responding to direct confrontation. Maybe ask the other several nerds who kept quoting my posts because they don't like my opinion.. EQ players in 2019 compared to 1999 aren't gods who are worth 3 players in 1, people are just used to powergaming these days and don't want to feel like a noob. Our supposed "overcrowded" server pop is barely what one server in 1999 was and personal insults aren't going to change that fact so y'all can ease up on your air of superiority over me for sharing that. Thanks.

Most servers were around 1300s in kunark. There were like 20 of them. Some were up to 3000 at peak around kunark velious.

Of those players, probably 300 of them were good at the game. The rest fuddled about like noobs do. Most people barely dreamed of getting to level 50 pre kunark. When Kunark came out, people were like '10 more levels?! I will never get there '

Nowdays we expect to be level 50 as soon as possible. Its a different game. Green is overcrowded. People are camping single spawn points of skeletons.

In my opinion the only thing not #classic about this past week is the fact that I haven't spent hours collectively trying to find the bank in freeport, merchants that sell backpacks, food/water, inspecting every spell in (what I thought was) the cleric guild looking for ones I could, or would eventually be able to, use, zoning into unknown areas and being immediately killed by <insert favorite kos npc>, and then searching for my corpse because I thought it was "just over there".

Now, I generally know my way around, know how to avoid the paths that dangerous mobs take, know to use /loc if I think I'm going to die, have a better "map" in my head so I'm somewhat aware of where I am, and have an idea of what zones and camps to go to for good risk vs reward.

Multiply this by ~1500 - 3000 people and that's why it feels "overcrowded". Personally, I like it. It's forcing me to try and find mobs/camps I don't know about, and traveling through areas I'd have never thought of entering until I was higher level. I'm actually a bit lost and afraid of dying again. That's #classic for me.

An additional server will balance the numbers, but you're still going to see lots of people on the known "xp highway". Try taking the country roads once in a while, and let me know if you see my corpse...

This is completely unacceptable.

I demand to be able to play green and teal simultaneously. The thought of someone else getting their repugnant hands on MY manastones pixels. You're destroying the blue economy in 2023! I just can't even.

I WILL CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTIONS!!!

Hi,

As you can see, I used a direct quotation to point out the hypocrisy contained within the quoted segment. The quotation allows readers to understand the nature of the reply without having to read back, which I understand is why the polite society placed this convention. Also, and this applies mostly to myself, people I respond to are so frequently destroyed by facts and logic that they delete their initial incoherent mess and now no one knows where my brilliance is directed, which is a disservice to the community. I only explain this because of your previous concerns regarding your words and where they appear.

Your reply, if any, might contain questions about my motivation. Allow me to preempt that. My motivations are pure: I like to cause trouble.

Teal = instanced green to leviate the influx of players just what modern games do zone1, zone2, zone3 and then just delete(merge) zone(server) when we have low numbers modern problems requires modern solutions
