OP is way, way too immersed.

Seek help.

Honestly this merge has highlighted what I believe is the real problem: The journey matters. We've been separate since the beginning, and we've become so accustomed to the politics, people, and culture of each individual server. We see the same faces as we progress, build relationships, and felt generally comfortable with how things were and our place in it.

And then the merge was sprung on us without warning, and now everyone is forced to occupy the usual spaces with a bunch of strangers, trying to awkwardly navigate everything without the advantage of a shared history to bring us together. I instantly saw groups unwilling to take members of the other server, as if there were some purpose or duty to isolate from one and another.

I didn't really consider any of that when I moved to Teal, but now I'm a little sad while playing. Not because I want to have easy access to camps, or hate Seal Team or any of that. I just got so used to seeing the same faces and knowing where we all stood, that it's deflating to feel like we're starting over in a way.

Uh, no.

Perhaps at some instant in time as primetime was ramping up and teal people were trying to figure out what was going on, but at no single hour did the population max at 400.

It MIGHT see that now in the 5 AM EST hour. Maybe.

Eh. Don't be a dick, be nice to people. It sucks that they jammed us all into a small space, but let's make the best of it.

You thought experience camps from 40-50 were hard to get into before on Green? LOL. The zombies on Green never sleep. They do 12-20 hour power grinds. This is going to be tough on my coffee pot. Sigh. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Teal folks are fine people, it's just a little crowded as it is.

On a positive note, Split Paw might have a group? Don't forget to bind in HHK? LFG in Split paw.

just because players cant grow a pair and spread out to slightly more dangerous zones with slightly less xp doesnt mean the world is crowded
just because 100 lemmings all crowd into HHK and unrest doesnt mean the servers are full

1300 players was a low pop server in classic EQ. It's fine.

Move to resolved.

Hope you enjoy the clusterfuck. All this will accomplish will be to cause players to quit. Leaving us with 1 server with teal/green pop than 2 of them. May just take a month or so for enough to get fed up with playing with shitheels.

Some of the veterans rember the old list concept? People joining lists to enter in a group for farm a room, alot people just sit in the floor waiting the current tank / healer / dps leave the group to take spot, and the classic spots like the FBSS in lower guk, campet 24/7 and people waiting hours tonget a place in the group, and then win the Random 1 100 if the item drops.
