I feel like you entirely missed the point (which as I saw it at least, had nothing to do with clustering or any other specific detail).

The point was, EverQuest was not a book or movie, with one version. It was a game, played by ten thousand-plus (twenty? thirty? anyone got stats on the total classic population?) different people, on some double-digit number of servers.

For many different aspects of the game, you can't simply say "people on live did X (clustered, rotated, whatever)" more, or less, or whatever than people here, because there was no unified "people on live" as a single entity. Sure there are general trends, but you can't oversimplify things and ignore that there were also quite literally thousands of undeniably different experiences.

I was a bit vague I guess. I don't deny everyone had different experiences on classic, but I do disagree with slayith's implication that he didn't have to settle for less-preferred camps as part of his classic experience like Dolalin was talking about earlier.
