Never was the pop this low on live in the middle of the night, as there were far more Europeans playing on the live servers as i remember.

Before i start, I am a mage that doesn't need gear or groups to have fun. That being said global ooc and EC tunnel do not affect me in the slightest. Still i cant help but feel utterly sadface for all the kiwi/Aussie melee players.

One can use all of the regular channels; actively /LFG on /who "classname" ect. with no luck for weeks on end. Live would have its bad days anyone that was there can attest to that. This is not an issue of putting in the work, or sucking it up and learning, as many of you seem to think it is, this is an issue of there not being enough population at those hours that there is no group turnover, and the only available groups would be the 1 random person here or there that a global ooc would reach.
Before you all flame for having an opinion that differs from only 50% of you and the devs, you should only try to play during the low pop and see how "exactly" like live it seems to you again.
If you play those twilight hours and you cannot solo good luck. There is NO guild with populations on high enough to support leveling all ranges, other than a bunch of 50's rotation camping some rare spawn. Checking all the areas with people in them will not get a group. These people are spending ALL of the play time every night to accomplish nothing, even though they use all the available in-game means of finding a group. The only surefire cure is to tell them sorry, you have to wake up and play in the middle of your night.


As a side note the world seems empty unless you go to a handful of zones, but at least you don't have to hide ooc anymore.

Its just my opinion no "sky falling" prediction crap. I thank the devs for all the effort they place into project1999. Just like live there will be changes i like and changes i hate, and i will roll with the punches.
