What happened with the poppulation
Did we lose about 400 players each on Green/teal over the thanksgiving holiday?
Seems to me we had around 1200+ on green before that week and now we just breaking 800. New major game launch? People burned themselves out or just the people brought in due to the anniversary all leave at the same time? | ||

Populations fluctuate. Green was at 1000 two nights ago, a Wednesday night lol. These population threads really, really need to stop.

It was expected that the initial surge wouldn't last. Probably most of the players here on launch day are still playing. They're just not all playing every day at the same times like they were when first excited to start fresh, so the concurrent user numbers are lower.

I mean this was expected, which is why Green/Teal were planned to re-merge. I mean look at Blue: In January 2019 there was a surge of new users that had a daily peak of nearly 2k. By September 2019 it was down to just over 1k, for a variety of reasons (Green announcement, Classic WoW), but there are things outside of EQ and p99 will probably always be a niche game, and not have a growing population over time. There will be fluctuations but I'd expect the Green/Teal population to drop close to a combined 1-1.5k pre-Kunark and probably surge after Kunark release. You're playing a 20 year old game, there just isn't the same mass market appeal as there was in 1999.

There wasn't much of a mass-market appeal even back in 1999. EQ had a few hundred thousand subscribers ever, right? Every random mobile tetris clone has that many users nowadays.

The normies (employed, good looking, roleplayers) figured out what they are up against ( unemployed, disability, ugly, power gamers)

New anti-boxing measures were implemented. 400 less clients able to connect.

loads of people no-lifed to 35 got one or two of their legacy items and are now decompressing for a bit because doing 1-35 in a month without redwoods was quite the marathon
