It’s been posted here before go look through old posts if you want. Many classic servers had the numbers that we are seeing on Blue (and often times higher). For example, when they split I think it was Fennin Ro they had like over 2.5k people on it or something. Most servers were close to 2k by Kunark.

What’s really happening here is that people have less patience than they did back then. And I say that not trying to be snide or sarcastic at all. Back then people would log in and just run around Norrath sometimes just being amazed at the game world. They’d log in and sit around LFG just chatting with their guildies and other people because chatting with people online was still a pretty new thing. They focused on trade skills a lot even if they weren’t the most min max lucrative skill they could be doing. And on and on. So the population was there, it just wasn’t vocally complaining about not being able to maximize their XP from the second they log in. Nowadays it’s different. The novelty of the world is gone, the novelty of being able to be social online is gone, so we’re left with just the pure video game advancement aspect of it and so people want to be able to do things right away whenever they log in.
