Well, we as players have also become more efficient at things, requiring less people to do the same work.

EQ never had 4 million players during the classic era (if ever), even across the 20-ish servers. All the data I've seen has it peaking around 2007 with about 500k subscribers, and during the classic era they peaked around 250k (and climbing).

I would not doubt it if P99 has more accounts "per capita" due to it being free. And at this point, being stuck in Kunark for 2+ years, we certainly have more top-level characters than classic era EQ.

I lost quite a few braincells reading your post. Any thoughts on that?

Because you are a mean spirited douche.

I like how you ignored everyone else telling you how wrong you are.

I wish there was AAs in Vellious. Exp is maxed out so no point to kill anything besides for gear. Already been doing the gear grind with Kunark.

AAs are shit and were just added in to add more endless grind bullshit to EQ to keep people playing and paying subscriptions. They are part of what ruined what used to be a good game. If this server had AAs I'd quit playing. But it wont, ever, and that's why I'm here.

Couldn't disagree more~

AAs added a reason to play ones main outside of raiding and farming. Folks like myself love seeing the xp bars filling up, if I ever get a lv60 on this server I might delevel it a bit so I can keep the flow.. and the spice must flow.

That's a good point but I'd rather just start an alt instead. Different strokes for different folks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This statement is very applicable to WoW, but not necessarily classic EQ. Not everybody is guaranteed a level 60, and getting raid gear/epic isn't easy, and then there's always an alt out of the many, many classes available.
