Was Having Two Servers More Fun Than One?

Personally, I feel that the word poopsock is very descriptive of what it describes.

I played everyday from server launch day, thru first day opt ins for teal, and then up to about two weeks before merge. I came back about a week after merge, I guess. I was pretty mortified upon hearing about the merge and was expecting the worst.

It’s not been as bad as the forums would have you believe. I’ve only met one person from the infamous guild of green who was an ahole. Surprisingly, several others have gone out of their way to toss me buffs, help me find things, pick me up for corpse runs, etc. granted my exposure to them is limited. My friends from teal are long gone, not logging in anymore, or just out leveled me. So I started a lowbie and am not in any direct competition with them or anyone else really, so it’s been pretty positive.

I guess that’s a lot of sentences to say that it doesn’t suck. Teal had this great sense of camaraderie in the beginning, especially among those who transferred early on. That to me felt like classic eq, irrelevant of server populations.

I should add though, I also haven’t bothered going to any of the high zem and over crowded parts yet. If a /who all can’t show me the name of every person there then I generally avoid it. Teal had those moments at prime time, but it had tapered down a lot. Greens combined population is wack in certain bottle necks.

Merged the towers into the ground. Jeez man that's close to the mark.

Teal community felt tighter knit, more friendly. Game is still fun, but was more fun pre-merge.

Other than HGs, I haven’t seen anything become overly packed during my play hours.

Not nearly as bad as I expected. Manastone camp little rough now but whatever. I only need 5 more.

100% more fun pre-merge. It felt more like actual Live classic, with multiple servers with different communities. (Edit: Also, what classic server with 2000 people had the number of tryhards at lvl50 we have?)

Granted, off hours it's still hard finding people for groups, but anything even resembling normal hours is packed, and it slaughtered the momentum for many of us that were grinding happily every day.

this makes no sense. the biggest rnf issues seemed to come from green. Why would they put even more people in that sandbox if they wanted to deal with less petitions?

I truly didn't mean to offend anyone with that, and apologize if I did.

This forum has a long tradition of including some sort of "Bush towers" option in every poll. I was simply trying to continue that tradition, and also keep the option tangentially related to the poll ... but I certainly didn't mean to be disrespectful (or at least, no more disrespectful than any other poll).
