No, Yes.

We are talking total playerbase percentages here. EverQuest in it's prime had 40ish servers. Only 4 were PVP (Rallos, Sullon, Tallon, Vallon). Only 10% of the servers were PVP, the end.

But let's go one step further. Every single PVP server, without fail, had lower population on average then their blue server counterparts. Which means it is safe to assume... that the actual playerbase that consistently played on past PVP servers was actually lower than 10% of the total population playing EQ at the time.
Ok. I agree. I thought you were comparing the pop of a classic-era red server to a blue one, not the overall % of the playerbase.

My point was there was never a live server that housed <300 players, because the game isn't designed for that.

Running one of these boxes is thankless shitty work and I'm sure even this toxic little community appreciates the fact that the server even exists, but I've never understood why a guy that played on blue (who doesn't like pvp) would even bother.
