Yeah, the sad realization is now if I want to play I have to play it has to be a low level newb character. It is not my mid-level cleric that I have been working towards leveling. Teal had a comfortable pace. Weekends and peak times was much harder to find groups, but other times there would be good options, comfortable less-stressed environment. Now you have all overcrowded spaces, more aggressive people, and a strained environment. That just completely deflates the experience and desire to even play.
Not ALL of us have their entire playing evening or period as part of a massive LFG group. I have not been able to get a group with my main since the merger... and at 1100-1200 at that peak time... it is just not going to happen often, if at all.
They split servers original live release when they were running into this type of problem. They seen the issue that was under planned on available content capacity so they fixed it. This move has been the opposite of that was. Calling it "classic" under the fact that server populations and content balance was an oversight in the original "go-live" to the point that they had to have countermeasures implemented to combat it is just plain silly.
In the end... this is just a couch session to fall on deaf ears. I certainly appreciate the work that the team goes through to provide this to all of us long time fans of the original game, but this just does not seem like one of the finest hours in decision making.
