If you guys wanted people filling those 90% empty zones the merge wasn't so much the solution as them reverting to classic ZEMs, but good luck with that.

The population of these servers in the months before Kunark ranged from 600ish range in offtimes to well over 1100-1200 at peak.

During the same time, the top servers, which were most of the older servers, occasionally hit 2000 at peak, but I don't remember any of the top 1/2 of the servers every dropping below 1000 people in offtimes.

The thing was, though, people took forever to level. I didn't play in beta and my first char was a bard (granted, hybrid pentalty and I explored a lot) and it took me months to even get to 30.

I started a druid on Teal on Dec 2 and I'm about to ding 41 and I've done a fair amount of farming. We just know how to play the game better now.

People assist, don't break mezzes, play their classes well - I'm constantly amazed at situations in groups where we survive without a death which would have spelled 6 deaths and a nasty CR in 2000.

So I think comparing 1999-2000 server populations is really a non sequitur.
Thanks for being reasonable. A 1500-2k person server would be unplayble these days.

How do you know they haven't? I don't think they'd announce it.

Do some kills in High Keep, you might be surprised/disappointed...

Oh, I'd love it if it was true.

But I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Not sure if I love or hate this decision. I'd reverted to soloing a lot as an enchanter because finding groups outside of Unrest and Guk has been a pain on green.

I'm looking forward to groups running in Sol, CT, MM more often. My one major concern is the number of level 50s that are going to sit around and solo camps that full groups want in dungeons and the drama that will ensue. A lot of max level toons with no raid content leads to them farming valuable items in 30-40 level dungeons.

Looking forward to meeting all you teal folks off the beaten path this evening.
