Difference is that Green99, already, is becoming top-heavy. The 35+ population GREATLY outnumbers the Vanilla 35+ population. Hell the vast majority of people on MY Vanilla server weren't even 50 when Kunark opened.

Likewise the vast majority also weren't 60 when Velious opened. NOT the case on Green99 I can assure you!
I'm sure that's the case. But that reverts back to what I said about EQ not being new anymore. The people that are playing this server have played EQ a lot. They know what to do now, they know how to level, they know where to go, they know what drops the best items and has the most exp. This all lumps into one dynamic that makes the term "it's not classic" completely redundant. Nothing is ever going to be truly classic anymore. Things are going to be different because of this.

This server is more of a "if I had a chance to do things over I would have done this" kind of opportunity. While offering a product as close to the way things were when it was released this is as close to classic as anything is ever going to get.

That being said yes players are top heavy. But there is still almost a thousand less players than some servers had in prime time on live. So it's a little give/take. There is still plenty of places to exp and group. I see SolB basically empty these days, Mistmoore isn't hopping all that much, there are a lot of zones that don't get attention because they don't have the highest ZEM and aren't where everyone is flocked too.
