I was on "Blue" lately and I enjoyed it. That's enough of a reason for me. Got a problem with that? My fun is not contingent on there being 300 or 800 or 1200 other people on the same server.

You've seemed a little unhappy with P99 ever since your favorite guild folded up. I don't blame you. In a sense I'm a little jealous....in ten years here I've never found a guild that I cared about enough to be unhappy with it closing.

Maybe. With the population numbers the way they are that would be a catastrophic mistake not to mention a couple of decisions seem to have been made like allowing the same name to be used on blue and green as long as it's the same account that would preclude this making it difficult if not impossible to roll the servers together.

If I was a betting man I wouldn't even give it a 50-50 chance of happening

consider red

Technical naming issues aside how would it be a mistake? Green will eventually die down to Blue's old population of about 1200 and who knows where blue is. End of time line they have the option of having 2 rot servers or 1, and splitting up the end of time line servers will just split the community. If blue doesn't get to red levels of population there is *no* reason not to merge them.

If all of those things happen sure, but there's an old saying about "if". Today, Green and Teal are ok during the week and completely overpopulated on weekends. What if more people join as time goes on? I will play Teal alot more as it gets closer to Kunark, not a fan of this era in the first place but it gets a lot better post temple of solro, what if there are a couple hundred that feel like me? Then you'd need another server split, 1k (at peak) is about the max original eq has content for. We have no idea what the future holds, i don't think as many will leave as you do so I wouldn't even give it a 50% chance of happening simply because it would put too many active players on a server.

This is hyperbole and short-sighted, Merkk.

People will leave these "full/classic" Green/Teal servers or even quit P99 entirely once they realize what they thought would deliver the ultimate Everquest experience has let them down. Raiding on Green and Teal will make raiding on Blue look like child's play. The top guild will ruthlessly crush everyone else and most people will not get an epic within these servers' fully-known timeline. Even without taking raiding into consideration, the competition for legacy items such as Manastones, Guises, and Thex Daggers has in just a few weeks demonstrated that the magic of classic Everquest can never be fully recreated. This is through no fault of the Project's devs, but rather due to the age of the game and circumstances of the project in its decade-long existence. The anticlimax of Green and Teal will hit and it will hit hard.

This isn't 1999 and it never will be again. This isn't 2009 and it never will be again.

To the thread topic, I'm grateful for DaP and have given y'all a lot of business over the years. Cheers guys.

I agree, thank you DaP!
