Default Did the server lose much?

Just trying to figure out if the server population has declined over the past few weeks, and if so, how severe are we talking?

Has anyone noticed a sudden dropoff with WoW coming out? Additionally, as far as I understand, green will be coming out soon - will the playerbase be able to sustain two separate servers, or are we at the beginning of the end here?

If Green is only one server, and is classic - absolutely.

I agree. I remember when WoW first came out during my original EQ days. I had a few friends and several guildies leave to play it. Almost every single one came back within a month and said EQ was way better. It just seems to me that most people who really love EQ preferred it over WoW. If it was true then that I imagine it's still true now. Though I admit I never played WoW myself because I took everyone's word for it that EQ was better.

Same thing with EQ2. People would leave to play it but most I knew came back to the original before too long.

My hatchling started her school as well. I am disappointed that hand-to-hand combat is no longer being taught in our schools. Next thing you know they'll be banning practice of the dark arts and the worship of the elder things.

Asherons Call, Anarchy Online, Dark Age of Camelot, Star Wars Galaxies, Shadowbane.. WoW was in there somewhere.

EQ still has the best fantasy world imo, how it works, looks, sounds and the material it was inspired by. It is a massive multiplayer fantasy RPG designed before the min/max extreme retards turned everything into a raid or instances.

My experience with the launch of classic WoW and EQ2 is the opposite. 2/3 of the guild left with the GL to WoW and the other third split to EQ2. My guild became a ghost town overnight where I would wander the houses and moan in the middle of the night like a ghost. Right as we were killing RZtW and the other elemental bosses to get into Time... man I was Pissed.
