I don't know about you, but I know without a doubt that there were far more people in the low level zones in 1999 than there were in 2001-02 when I started a new character. I got by, and I did so well, all on a pvp server (in 1999 I played on Rallos Zek). But I was well aware, even way back then, that things weren't the same. Today I know that as a top heavy population, but back then I could only think that it was dead by comparison. Now, looking back on all of it, I see a picture with more going. You have to look at the rate of incoming active subscriptions to really get an idea what the gist of this thread is.

Sure there were more people per zone in 1999 than in 2001, but that was because there were far more zones. Also the best EXP was in Lucin, so that is where every one went (even the low levels). You could level from level 1 to 30 in a day in that one zone killing those bandit like things. I remember there being near 100 people in that zone ALL THE TIME.
