I meant pre-Kunark. This led them to of course open more servers eventually, but they were in 2k pre-Kunark for quite awhile. Brad mentioned this in a Pantheon interview or forum post at some point a year or two ago IIRC, I'll try and find it.

Pre kunark? Bristlebane was around 1500ish on the weekends. 3-500 during middle of the week day and around 800ish in the evening.

Wrong, assholes are classic.

while they engaged in similar behaviors in the pre-4chan years, they didn't refer to their behaviors as trolling and in fact couldn't remember what they called it, if they called it anything. They've since some to use the term retroactively, but at the time the subcultural definition of the term hadn't yet taken hold, and so they didn't think of themselves as trolls.

You guys trying to troll about the creation date of 4chan and formal trolling. The internet was not created in 2010 and neither was this game.

That's where I started and I do not remember anywhere near those numbers!

Only if you include Mathnerd with his summoned pet calculator.

Then your point is moot. We are dealing with a different monster than live ever has!

Not really. My point was that you were wrong about your assertion of pre-Kunark numbers not about the state of Green in general.

Disagree. My numbers are correct. There were never that many players in the starter zones pre-kunark. By the time EQ gained popularity, they were already in the Kunark era. And before that, the players that started in Apr of 99 were far gone from the newbie areas by the time people influxed in.

On Terris Thule, back when you could see population numbers, it was easily above 2k consistently. It was also above 2k on Ayonae Ro where I was a Guide.

At any rate, I'm going to trust the word of the guy who created EQ over some random dude on the forum who claims to "remember" something.

And, as stated many times, I am sure those were numbers at one time, but they were not the numbers pre-kunark and they were not the numbers at launch, which is the point of discussion here.

And if you take what that guy says at face value when 50% of the things he has said have been proven false, then go ahead and believe him.

(actually there was rumor that he was doing drugs at some point too, so whatever)

BTW: I have a bridge to see ya!
