The MOST... MOST people Red99 had was 250 when it was FIRST released.

And Blue 1999 was at 200 because it was new, and people wanted to play on a brand new server. But over the first few weeks, when The BLUE folks realized they would get shit rolled by the douchebags that exploited to 50... they left.
I don't really know what this argument is about anymore, but red99's max population was 663. Source: http://eqemulator.org/index.php?page...o&worldid=1678

I'd say only about 300 people had any intention of staying - most of the original 600+ were just bluebie tourists. Also a lot of people got banned, and a lot of people lost interest for various reasons that have been elucidated on time and time again. I'm willing to bet there are more players in the former category than the latter, but unfortunately I don't have any evidence to verify that.
