Long-term, I believe it's healthier for the community to have one 1200+ population server than two ~600 population servers.

I would agree with that, having been on p99 since late 2009 myself. As someone who enjoys grouping over raiding, ever since Green launched, I have found the grouping game to be somewhat stagnant, although I do keep several alts placed in hot zones in various level ranges so I can usually find a group when I play. But I do miss the higher population. I feel like the population ranges you gave for each era are pretty accurate for a good overall experience.

they are obviously going to merge green into blue when the green cycle ends/resets
i will forever play on green servers, even if only to make fun of the blue beta test server neckbeards (LOL)

If you're boxing green and blue you have serious issues.

Hope this helps.

There's really no point, anymore, to Green (and it was fun!) - may as well merge with Blue and roll out a new pokemon color. At least on blue, they fixed the last 4 ability slots that are STILL not fixed on Green ;(

Wake sleeper and merge already thanks.

Great for everyone, bigger population boost when announced a fresh server, also old friends united once again after merge.

Voted yes so we could get a fresh vanilla server. With naked ppl again. Doing naked levels.

Would play casually again for this.

Shamwowi was here for 2000+ populations on P99. So was I. There's a bit of a tradeoff. The leveling game and guild formation scene is much better with a higher populations; with Blue's present population few new guilds are created and the community feels somewhat static. Pick-up groups are much easier to find with a higher population as well, which feeds into the long-term health of the server by making it easier for newer players to level up and build player associations rather than dork around solo'ing until they get bored and quit. The drawback of population is you might not find a specific camp you want open, but Velious is large enough you can nearly always find something worthwhile. There were days during Kunark on P99 that the wife and I would log in and absolutely everything that might've been worth doing for us was taken, but that hasn't happened since Velious launch. It's a good size game world.

Voted for merge of population. P99 hasn't been right since the split.

Green was fun for the opening week before people spread out to the larger world. Fighting over single skeleton spawns in noobie zones, feeling like getting full cloth was something, talking smack to completely new players who don't understand Everquest fantasy racism and watching veteran EQ players get raped by the East Commons Griffin (that was the most enjoyable).
