So much this. I listened to AC Gamer on his last stream bitch and bellyache about them opening up Teal and how "Green isnt the classic feeling he was hoping for" and some nonsense about having an insanely high server population "forces people off the beaten path". It really doesnt, SOME and I mean SOME people will go off the beaten path but the vast majority of people will not, they'll either fight tooth and nail for a single spawn or log off. The people who are wanting "classic" will never get "classic". The game is 20 fucking years old, every little thing that could be known about it is known and these people are trying to relive something from their childhood and throw a fit when some kind of QoL improvements are made that the vast majority of people want. You put it perfectly, you cant recreate ignorance of the game, and thats what some of these players are wanting, to recreate that magical experience they had 20 years ago when they were 13 and knew nothing about EQ or MMO's. It will never happen

So then deal with the crowds if you want to go to the most popular zone for your level range. I think people also underestimate how much information people had in the classic era. Many people on these forums don't seem to have played until Kunark or later. Within like 6-8 weeks people knew generally what level content was in which zones and had figured out all of the good turn in quests such as CB belts, Gnoll Fangs, and Bandit sashes. CB was insanely crowded at all times. So people went off the beaten path to level. If someone is complaining about server population and things being too crowded because they have to wait to join a group in the most popular spot for their level range and they're unwilling to go anywhere else because it's not as optimal, then they might as well play WoW so they can have instances and get whatever they want whenever they want it.
