What happened with the poppulation

[Roth]

I feel like a lot of forum trolls are intentionally pushing this server towards self destruction. I have NO idea why it is, but I've seen it in wow as well. Teal/green split, no mage pets, these are two examples of horrible decisions that people come and defend. And then when the population drops they say bullshit like "well people just cant handle classic eq" like they are some sort of better players for putting up with the garbage. MAKE A GOOD GAME/SERVER that is fun... STOP defending horrible decisions just because you want to suck the devs cock or get off to some sort of idea that classic eq is unplayable.

edit: btw when green was announced, EVERYONE on the forums were saying they wouldnt roll green... you would think it would be a dead on arrival server. These forum trolls never represent the actual playerbase. Also, EVERQUEST IS A GOOD GAME WHICH IS WHY PEOPLE WANT TO PLAY HERE. THERE IS NO NEED TO INTENTIONALLY PUSH FOR IT TO BE WORSE.

man some ppl really hate classic eq. didnt kno

Classic EQ is about community and gameplay. All the shit messing with gameplay like nerfing all newbie quests, not allowing mages to research pets past 34, the list system, breaking pathing on the entire p99 project somehow (which I'm going to keep complaining about), item recharging, etc., make the server not very fun to play and also not very classic.

Blue was for sure much more classic, and in turn much more fun. People don't really care about having trivial changes like no pet window or half ass classic UI, when the core part of the EQ experience less classic than blue. I think you'll see many more people go back after the first few months of green/teal.

Agree with this, but I don't think they will go to blue. Once the experience is soured, they will forget p99 and not come back which is what this is pushing me personally towards.

For myself, and maybe many others, the season has hit and work has me preoccupied beyond belief.

The combined pop of green\teal and blue is still higher than the average pop of blue within the last year. I'm not even counting red (lol). But it's fine.

No Blue was NOT more classic. I was here for blue launch. Average pop about 250, asshole neckbeard guild Inglourious Basterds breaking shit that the dev's hadn't even yet had time to properly implement. Constant DDOS attacks by butthurt people who lost a gm verdict. It was still very fun, and green and I assume teal are still very fun. Nothing else like this exists, just enjoy it.

The launch of blue may have sucked, but the vast majority of the time blue was in kunark only it was amazing and felt like classic everquest.

Blue was most certainly not more classic than Green. That is an absurd statement lol.

[Widan]

Blue is more classic than green right this very second. It just doesn't seem that way because of item inflation and expansions being out for way too long. All they had to do was literally relaunch blue without changing anything and it would have turned out more classic than what we got.
