About 9/10 last night he said within 24 hours, so today maybe unless Rogean works off another set of time measurements.

DRAHMA probably. I Zoned into CB for the first time (on green) at lvl 8 to see what was poppin and when I /who'd there was a GM, a few people having /drama, and Orcs being trained to the zone. So I just nope'd on out of there.
I have a hunch prediction that teal remerge will be in May 2020 patch :p

I want to kill at the most popular spot for my level and don’t want any groups to be camping the spot and/or have to wait to get into a group. I want what I want and I want it now. Give me a new server!!!

CB has had 60+ people in it at any given time.
Gfay has 200+ most times.
CB entrance in Gfay has a group camping the left side mobs, another camping right side, and a third just camping the front entrance.
Orc hill is about 3+ groups scattered killing individual tents.
Getting a group is damn near impossible. My rogue has been stuck at 6 for 3 days now.
Bring on Teal.

Getting a group is damn near impossible when I stay at this spot where there are obviously too many people for the number of mobs.
Fixed it for you.
I get the new server. But seriously, you guys are lazy fucks.

Oh believe me, I've roamed. Bandits = taken. Every orc that pops = dead.
Run over to Steamfont = same deal with every kobold camp.
Butcher block = orc camps all taken. Chessboard has a list.
Please share your wisdom, oh wise one so I can stop being a "lazy fuck".

Saw so many open things when I ran around Karanas and Lake Rathe....
Everyone just wants to be able to go into the same hub zone and get a group fast.
I feel for people since travel can be hard and there are no guarantees that a group is there. I know people will say #NotClassic but maybe global chat channels would have been a good compromise on this and reduced the necessity of a second server...

So should people not start on Faydwer? Seeing fucking gnomes and dwarves trying to kill level 3 frogloks outside of Grobb is absurd, not refreshing.
The whole newbie experience feels like a zombie movie, where Faydwer is outbreak and ground zero overrun with the undead (players) and the rest of the world is trying and failing to stave off the tide of the horde.

Rogean said they examined this kind of thing and determined there wasn't enough mobs. Is there insight on the mob density as GM's missing something here? :p

The behavior players are exhibiting is precisely why the game evolved and why newer MMOs instituted instances. Folks cry that Everquest was this rare, raw MMO that is the best example...but only when it caters to their desires.

The issue is that it's an old, solved game. If it was new with unknown zem, unknown mechanics, people didn't know about exp penalties and such... it would be a lot different. The concepts themselves are not issues, the issue is everyone knows everything.

Couldn’t agree more. Everyone just wants to pack into the high ZEM zones and do the same leveling path as everyone does on Blue, and they’re annoyed the can’t because other people are there

When are you playing? I've only investigated low level areas, but I can say pretty confidently that they are all camped pretty solid on Faydwer. Maybe its different on Antonica. I'm not sure where these "out of the way" places that people are ignoring are.

Qeynos area after you leave QH and WK is not that bad, mainly because the entire zones are roaming areas and not camps. South Karana for example has tons of open space to XP in if you really wanted to.

Why's that?
Why's that?
I believe theres a lump of racers grabbing legacy stuff and getting as much as they can before the temple patch.
Once the temple patch hits, content becomes larger, and legacy stops all at the same time. At that moment, the population will lower, and the content will increase. The items that come with that content are slightly more powerful, and will be more contained in a merge.
I'm not saying that's what will happen, or know anything, and i'm wrong all the time about stuff.
But if I placed a bet on this day on a timeline of when the servers remerge, I would place the bet on the Solusek Ro patch era.

They announced in game that bringing Green server down for an update is neccessary to boot teal. They decided to bring it down at a later time.

I have been getting groups/duo without much waiting at all during my now 16 lvls in SF and CB. The differens is that Im playing a mage, not rouge. Teal will benefit me even more I think, since lower pop means easier finding solospot on top of being good dps for groups.
Rouge will have a rough time no matter how many servers there are.

Sure at first it was nuts, but it really died down. I've not had too much of an issue finding a group, going solo, moving to a new area if it's busy.
I'm so on the fence with Teal.. I have no knowledge of higher level areas (lvl 15-30) or the camps they fight over /shrug It might not have anything to do with the lower level people as I don't see a problem. It is true though that some places are over-camped, but like you say, move on to a new area. Ehh I don't know.

Head west young man! The elf lands are cursed and worthless. Feller like you needs open sky and rain, rain, rain, and some more rain! Hie off to the karanas where the bandits throw plat at you and even five bards can't keep the wisp populations down. it's the land of milk and honey.
And dirt. just like, endless rolling expanses of empty dirt. maddening voids of nothingness that make you pray for death as you jog for three hours between two zone lines, wondering if you are really in the game or have lagged out into some infinite plane of Karana-flavored pixels beyond hte bounds.
But really the money and XP is good, even if the environment might lead you to gibbering madness. But y'know you're playing a 20 year old game on a emu server, so that's probably not a problem.
The issue is that it's an old, solved game. If it was new with unknown zem, unknown mechanics, people didn't know about exp penalties and such... it would be a lot different. The concepts themselves are not issues, the issue is everyone knows everything.
Heh... this kinda just gave me an interesting idea. Not sure if people are aware of "randomizers" that people use for SNES game ROMs (the Link to the Past + Super Metroid combination randomizer is something to fucking behold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E31Ago0uRwU)
What if each time an EQ server launched the EXP penalties and bonuses and ZEMs and even the loot were randomized (loot would still need to be tiered by difficulty/level, so CoF isn't dropping from Fippy, etc) so it had to all be figured out again. Could take it a step further and somehow rearrange which zones are connected to which, though that might be too weird.
Could be fun, at least once?

But dude, LFay doesn’t have a high ZEM and this method requires more work also. I just want to be able to go to the highest ZEM zones for my level and kill stuff the second I walk in and also not have to worry about something like pulling to certain locations/wandering mobs

My Rogue is level 16 and had no issues past the actual launch day itself. I note that you asked me earlier what classes I was playing on Green and I now assume you were hoping I would say something like Necromancer because when I responded with my 3 classes you didn't say anything lol
My soloable class (Enchanter) is the lowest of my 3 characters by far. Groups are not hard to find if you're willing to go places. I think you mentioned you're a Ranger in your teens? I know that some groups are really against taking on hybrids because of the penalty, so that may be part of why you're having trouble finding groups.
