Any idea what level the anonymous are?
I wonder what the average level of the total playerbase is?
Like the parse.
Assuming an equal spread of zones for each level tier then I would say that some level ranges are weak, particularly between 40 and 50. It's hard to say, though. You have to add up all the zones per level range and then compare to the population listed here. If an average zone can supply for X players then you can see whether there's congestion. Too much congestion means the population is too high. I don't think this server will see any of that, though. Nothing like on live where there were twice as many people at least.
With the kunark expansion I think ti's safe to say there's lots of content 30+. But with the thin population in the mid-range must be a tough haul for anybody outside the popular zone(s).
However, the anonymous figure brings some unknown into this.
One of hte problems EQ had later on was too many zones spreading out the playerbase. Classic + Kunark + Velious + Luclin is a LOT of 30+ content. And some new players went to luclin zones. You can imagine that when luclin first released, there were hundreds of thousands of vah shir alts and new characters made.
The company solved that with gloomingdeep + luclin spires + pok books + tss + hotzones + etc. I in fact read a developer chat where they mentioned this exact issue and had stated the numbers they wanted.
