so glad my favorite zones have populations and multiple groups every day even at late hours, green and teal are now friends forever together

The only "losers" to the merge are the ones loving their /list camps as there's more competition.

Server is definitely vibrant and camps all taken and being occupied. It's nice to see, it's a pain sometimes when you can't find groups though and there is a list to get on anything but I'd rather have that than nobody to play with. There's always something...somewhere to go kill and get exp and have some fun.

Initially, it was a mess. Now that pop has dropped a bit, it's finally at a manageable level.

Yeah, I'm sure that's why it was like a 4:1 ratio of people who had more fun pre-merge to post-merge in the poll. :rolleyes:

I disagree.

Rest In Peace Teal, you were the greatest server of all time.

Teal has a special place in my heart , too. I'm still trying to find that place but I'm sure it's there.

Having two servers was better.

That said, I play mostly solo aside from occasional raiding. So, I just have to be a bit more creative finding spots that are not popular to solo. It is what it is and there are other garbage-time options if nothing is available--like laundry.

Rogean likes instanced content a lot and is probably willing to re-code that so don't worry by 2030 you will have instancing and there will be one giant server with both red and blue, teal, and green players, and it will have different flags, so u can flag for different rulessets and be pals across 'realms'

The EQ multiverse is coming m8s and its going to be so gooog, u will be able to stay in classic red 1-50 with itemloot, or migrate out into kubark and vellious

if anything a new classic r99 box should at least flirt with classic item loot ffa for a few months b4 becoming some kind of abomination of teams and stuff down the road

would give the hardware some time to burn in and be a gr8 test bed

Nice join date NERD

I am a very real and super nice person and I asked very nicely if I may participate in this community again. I don't know if there is a record in the petition sub forum, but so far I have kept my word. I swear I will continue to be a kind and gentle elf. I am sorry for acting out on these forums in the past.

I love project1999, red99, and I am a huge fan of Rogean and all the other cool hamsters that run this wheel.

Really love these 9 person list queues and 300+ people in Fear during Cazic pops.

We did CT back in the day with around 40 people. He was actually less of problem than dracolich who would crash 80-90% of players in the zone if he used his AoE fear.

I had the best computer money could buy back then. Heh. almost everything is level 50ish and due to level difference will almost always resist charm or break at an incredibly short time frame.Go back to your level 60 char on red, and quit making so many trash tier posts.

Says the one without a 40th+ level character. Wait till you do, then you will know why everyone is bitching about the merger, waiting round for hours just to get any damn exp or even a gimpy item camp is not classic, or even close. When it got too crowded, they opened another server. If that many players having a bad experience they might want to do something about it. They were worried about the Teal population being low, how about the red server, 20-50 damn people? WTF? Turn red into another green an let people move if they want.

You realize Green's population is well below what classic server population was?

So, if your argument is that Green population isn't classic, then you're right...you're just not right in the way that you think you are lol

b-b-but muh login screen numbers

People leveled incredibly slower on Classic than they do here due to game knowledge. The problem isn't the population number on the login screen, that is healthy and good, the problem is that the server is incredibly top heavy because everyone blitzes to 40+ and there isn't remotely close to enough content for 400+ level 46+s in classic.

Funny thing is that the game is still fun in bronze armor with fine steel if we don't blitz to 40 for guK camps.

Enjoying my necro in rathe mnts @ 23 on red. Been 23 two days now. I don't mind. Fun as heck seeing random stuff I never bothered with drop small bronze. Getting killed by cyclops. And because I refused to FD a green add pushing for a blue druid kill.

Y know what would be even more awesome? People who aren't scared of fun and infected by pixel lust. That is OK though. People will come around one day. Just a symptom of modernity. If they weren't lusty, or greedy there'd be enough Rapture Jesus in their lives to socialize, and be kind, on and offline.

Pras it. Roll an elf. Not a yak or Manastone battery. It's never to late. You're free always to be an elf friend, or not. To role play. You don't need my permission.

I hope all of you upset may find happiness and pixel freedom.

In the name of Bristlebane.
