As much as I'd like to have the PvP fans (myself partially incl.) get a chance to relive their classic EQ experience, I have reservations about the idea of creating a 2nd P1999 server at present. The reason being simply that I fear it would split the current population, making the game virtually lifeless at off-peak hours. We've just recently reached a point where getting a good PUgroup at those times isn't completely impossible, and I'd hate to have to go back to soloing 90% of the time.

I've previously advocated a 2nd server (be it PvP or otherwise) at a time when the population can "handle it" (my estimate is +2k at peak hours), and I stand by that.

I think a 2nd server could be good for the population once it hits 1k+, until Kunark comes out anyways. Last night there were 800+ and everything was over packed. South Karana had 30 people in it. Aviaks was crowded, hermit camped, never checked centaurs because at a camp check several people said centaurs were camped, and the spires were completely camped. I had to kill wondering mobs lol, I didn't even do that on live.

As for when Kunark comes out, I totally agree with a 2nd server being bad news though. As much as it sucks being overcrowded, being under populated is the worst. I really miss PvP but wouldn't want to risk ruining what we already have here for a shot at a good PvP server.
