Green Launch Population?

[Kapyong]

I think 5K+ is realistic -

Current blue pop is steady-state on a mature server with nothing special going on.
Green will be a huge attractive EQ event at a specific time.
Green start will be much much more populous.

Also there will gamers not currently on Blue, even some who have never been on Blue, but who have heard of Green and will be starting there to capture the now famous Everquest experience.

WoW classic was yuuuuge...
How many WoW players must have heard about EQ ? Heard stories about EQ ? Heard about friends going back to try Green EQ ?

I've seen Green mentioned in various gaming places and forums, and the price of EQ Green is attractive.
I think it will be chock-a-block, server totally FULL for days.

That can be great fun when the population starts to level up and spread out and not overwhelm the zones so much, then it's almost like a public raid - enough friendlies to dominate the zone, but enough mobs to hunt relatively safely.

Being with the masses of leveling players is gunna be SOOO much fun...
