See when green launched we actually were hitting numbers in that ballpark, but everyone just knows exactly where to go and what to do *immediately* as soon as the server starts it's a nightmare, but only for like the first two days. People naturally stratify quickly, as some people level faster and other people just wait until the congestion clears up.
And when they first merged teal into green pop hit like 1500 concurrent, there were like 215 people at EC tunnel. It actually made my computer chug a bit (which I chalk up to eq's horribly optimized engine), it was glorious.
I've also always wanted to see the entire online population of a server all in the same zone at once. Like get a big group shot of the whole server all crowded around the ec tunnel ramp. It would be cool to get that kind of perspective on how many people are actually here.
