I'll vote yes if we reach 1000 or more. But way before we reach 900 there'll be way too many people in global /ooc and global /auction. That's why I made my thread about filtering global chat. We already have a huge advantage compared to this game in 1999. Not only are there more people in /ooc and /auction, but we can reach them from anywhere in the world. We also have item links and easier access to forums. Think about it, do you know of any zone other than EC back in 1999 that would have had 300+ people in /ooc and /auction?
The reason I say 1000 or more is live had probably 1500-2500 average per day. We're not there yet! And live had in-game message boards that also helped to facilitate trading. I don't think 700 max population is enough because the average population isn't evne 400 yet. Per zone that would be a very small number. But nowadays we have easy access to forums because we can tab out of eq and people are more internet savvy these days. We also have item links and greater knowledge about this game. So I'll say 1000 or more as a roundabout guess.
I didn't vote because NO doesn't fully express my opinion.
