The server is already split up....horribly.

You might not see it when you log in and see the server population number.

But you realize it when you try to find a group under level 50.

When you see the only places to find a group are in the "exp hotspot" zones. That everyone is SOLELY focused on exp (and nothing else really matters). Sure, grinding is fun sometimes.... but when you go through all your levels never actually getting loot yourself? Always just buying upgrades from commons? ((Heck, on this server, it is normal practice to do GREED rolls before need rolls... since it assumed everyone is just buying their stuff anyway))

When you go to a zone that actually drops loot (lower guk?) and all the named spawns are camped by level 60's looking to make some $$ so they can buy their epics (since actually doing it themselves is near impossible, since other level 60's are camping the epics to sell for even more $$$).

You slowly realize how split up the server really is.... how it is an empty shell of everquest. Just ghosts going through the motions.... and the groups, the adventures, the fun that made classic everquest? It isn't there.

Even when you finally make into raiding levels. It is like an amusement park line. Waiting your guilds turn to smack the raid mob (with overwhelming numbers and ease)...

"Good job with inny everyone, we will get another chance at him in a few months".

And what do you do when you aren't raiding? You go grind for exp or $$$ (so you can buy whatever you are after).....or maybe make an alt and twink it out (only to go through the same under 50 game of pure exp grinding with no attempt to do quests or get loot).
