Tourists will push the pop up...
oh btw

Tell people about Project 1999 Green server.

Yikes. :rolleyes:

Done!

Also, this is reminding me of when I joined the first team pvp server where another one had to be created right away. I logged in as a troll and I could not move because it was just wall to wall trolls for about a minute before it crashed.

If we get 5 to 10k into green its going to be nutsack.

1999 people, obviously.

2kish

People saying 5k be trippin dawg

I don't see 1500 online anymore really, its more like 1kish most nights. I do a /who all count every once in a while out of curiosity and maybe 1200 sometimes on EST primetime but more often like 800-1k.

Earlier this year when the population spiked from the streamers/pantheon/WoWC hype, we were only hitting what 2kish? Not sure there's going to be a lot more than 3k on personally, and even that I expect to die off fast. First after the opening weekend, then the first week, by month two I'd expect a sample of what the vanilla pop will be like longer term.

Kunark launch will likely boost numbers for the remainder of the timeline though.

I agree.

I'm not so sure of this. I expect a high proportion of current Blue players will stay True to Blue. In <Castle>, we did a poll and over half of the 39 respondents didn't want to leave Blue. I often see level 40s say stuff like "But what about all my progress?"

I mean, just going by your anecdote, if somewhere are half of the population leaves that is a absolutely huge hit to Blue. Most of the server is already a ghost town at most level ranges, split that in half and the game is mostly unplayable for a lot of classes. I see the mass migration as having a snowball effect and most of the midlevel folks on Blue that don't want to switch will change their tone when it becomes apparent which way the wind is blowing.

People are adverse to change. But eventually I think most people are going to want to try the real game and stop fooling around on the Test Server.
