Green server seems to have too many players?
Granted it was prime time and a newbie zone, but it was so packed I could barely kill a single mob, I had to log off for the night.
People where camping the ENTRANCE to crushbone. Yes, a separate group from orc hill was camping a few spawns at the entrance, not the hill itself which also had a full group. That's how packed it was (CB was also packed to the brink with groups and solo players killing everything in sight.) I have never seen that in classic (granted its been forever so I may have forgotten.) But I recall there only being a few hundred players usually online at a time not 1,000. Is it a server restriction thing keeping everyone on one server or? Does it open up at later levels? Writing this without coffee excuse any bad writing. | ||

Uguk Befallen Najena I bet these zones had a million level-relevant mobs available for killing. | ||

Well if you joined a classic server when they were mature then yes of course the newbie zones would be empty in comparison with what you see here. But if you joined classic at roughly the same time that Green is in the timeline now, I think you would find your newbie zones here to be very tolerable.
Back when Sony/Verant still released server numbers, I was playing on Tallon Zek and it had 1200 people on, and the PvP servers were the lowest population ones of the bunch. | ||

Crushbone is a madhouse and always has been. It's fairly easy, there's a lot of nostalgia tied to it for most of us, and it's got some decent drops/quests. If you go there during primetime, you're gonna have a bad time.
Same goes for the rest of the popular dozens. If you want to exp comfortably, try to find a group of like-minded players and head off the beaten path. | ||

By the time Kunark hit, many servers ranged from 1,800-2,100 or so players at primetime. Green is well below that to my knowledge. GFay itself can be a slightly tough newbie zone at times in the sense that if you have a few people running around killing mobs near the various lifts, you have to venture out into the foggy darkness to find more mobs to kill since they're wandering over a large area. Other newbie zones are much more condensed in this regard and therefore a few other newbies being in the area doesn't seem like overcrowded in the sense that there are still a lot of mobs you don't have to run very far to find. | |||

I've been on the Green server for most of a year now, have started two different chars on Faydwer. The level of crowding in CB and GF has thus far seemed very consistent with my memories of 20 years ago. As has, in the mid levels, Unrest.
If you need a good low-levels zone that's a lot less crowded, zone into Butcherblock. It is generally much less populated on Green today than it was back in the Classic live era. Another good newbie zone that's generally uncrowded on Green is Steamfont. (You have to pass through LFay to get there but not for long and not a hazardous part of LFay.) | ||
