TEN. THOUSAND. PLAYERS.

Really? Are you just going to walk right passed an opportunity to say, "OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND!"?

Are you even from the internet?

I think it will depend on what happens outside of this community within the next two weeks.

More Kotaku and Massively articles or the like? Yeah I would say higher than 2K, maybe as much as 5k.

Hardly any coverage outside the emulation or EQ scene? Yeah around 2K probably.

I really hope it isn't that bad! One P99 server cannot handle that many players. We only have a few zones in classic.

This is just an opinion because no one knows for sure:

But I believe we will be looking at around 2k for launch day and that weekend. After that, I believe 500-600 of those will drop off because they only logged on to see the launch and then another 200 will leave due to green being too hard and they will go back to their EZ-Cubby hole on blue.

All in all, launch day will be nuts but it will die. Green isn't going to be for everyone, including a lot of players currently playing on Blue! But I strongly doubt there will 4k players online.

Waaayyyy too low. We've seen north of 2k on Blue before. I expect the vast majority of blue players are gonna go Green to experience the launch weekend at the very least. This is as much of an EVENT as it is an actual fresh P99 server and no longtime P99 players will wanna be left out.

My guess is that we break the 4k mark on launch weekend with the average daily pop settling in around 1500-2000 for the servers lifespan.

Many many former players are returning for a fresh start that actually FEELS like Classic EQ. Players who left as a 6-year Kunark turned Blue into the overly-twinked, pocket-cleric-epic-in-every-group abomination it's become today!

Not to mention the Twitch Streamers who've been taking about G99, some of whom have a solid 2k avg viewership

I hope all of ya'll that are predicting all of these players are wrong. You are aware that the game will be completely, 100% unplayable with that many players online? Not even groups would be able to survive.

Yeah if someone who normally gets several thousand viewers daily and also likes EQ like Cohhcarnage were to play or even talk about it then the server could see some immense strain.

We'll see what happens, it'll be a neat chaotic mess to see for sure.

We are talking about people that watch other people play video games. Those people are not going to even be smart enough to find a version of titanium and then perform the install.

They watch other people play video games.....it's asinine!

I think people are lowballing things... Yes the highest population on blue has been 2000+, but players have been trickling in and out of blue for years. Now many of the people who have played blue throughout the years are going to play at the same time. I'm expecting 5000+

That's me at least. For the past several years I've been just logging into blue to run around and hear the midi music. As soon as green launches I'll be on every day.
