Are things really that much better on Blue?

Uh both servers are beyond geriatric at this point in the game. EQ is a game with a 2 year shelf life. Blue is like 12 years old and Green is getting up there, too. You missed the rush to 60 and you're gonna have a harder time leveling with either population. Blue seems remarkably dead, going by the visible EC tunnel pop any time I log on. Green has some life in it still.

Between discord and forums I don't think EC is the best barometer, but I'm not disagreeing necessarily either.

Just got a Green Dragon Scale as a casual on blue without buying it. Hope that helps

blue has devolved into vanquish farming greens in every zone worth anything to sustain their pixel lust.

green has a bunch of kiddie touchers running around playing lawyerquest.

the days of open fear and hate crawls on project 1999 are long gone. the joy of 100+ randoms experiencing content that is gate kept by the jobless is outweighed by the fear of being DQ'd because a mini spawns or a quaco draco pops.

just keep your sleep apnea machine clean and your batphone on max volume. otherwise this community isn't for you anymore.

This is anecdotal, but it seems all the new players to P99 are going to Green.

Green will probably be the best in terms of a natural grouping experience.

Both servers are old enough to have a maturing player base, but Blue is even more so.

If you see a level 12 character on Blue, there's a good chance he already has a few level 60 alts.

I started playing P99 again a few months ago after a long break and I don't think I have even grouped once on Blue. It has been 100% solo. Granted, I've been playing Necro, Druid, and Shaman...but still.

If anyone is grouped up, they certainly aren't PUGs.

Which is a problem, because MMOs need a constant flow of newbies. To feed the in-game economy and overall health of the server.

I hate lawyerquesters.

But seriously I personally don't have any issues with the community on blue because I don't care about the "end game." I have nothing against sweaty no-life raiders but this 20 year-old game isn't the one for it IMO. I just want to have fun with some elf friends and maybe do some cool solo stuff on my chanter and I can accomplish that on blue.
