Green Launch Population?

[btravis1990]

So I am curious,

right now on primetime Blue is around 1k-1.5k people on..

what do you all guess Green will be?

I have been reading where people are saying there is going to be "thousands" of people fighting over mobs in EVERY newbie zone. I do not expect it to be like WOW classic... but wanted others opinions ..

I am finding that hard to believe, I am sure it will be populated but that seems like a exaggeration..

thoughts?

Done!

Also, this is reminding me of when I joined the first team pvp server where another one had to be created right away. I logged in as a troll and I could not move because it was just wall to wall trolls for about a minute before it crashed.

This is just an opinion because no one knows for sure:

But I believe we will be looking at around 2k for launch day and that weekend. After that, I believe 500-600 of those will drop off because they only logged on to see the launch and then another 200 will leave due to green being too hard and they will go back to their EZ-Cubby hole on blue.

All in all, launch day will be nuts but it will die. Green isn't going to be for everyone, including a lot of players currently playing on Blue! But I strongly doubt there will 4k players online.

Waaayyyy too low. We've seen north of 2k on Blue before. I expect the vast majority of blue players are gonna go Green to experience the launch weekend at the very least. This is as much of an EVENT as it is an actual fresh P99 server and no longtime P99 players will wanna be left out.

My guess is that we break the 4k mark on launch weekend with the average daily pop settling in around 1500-2000 for the servers lifespan.

Many many former players are returning for a fresh start that actually FEELS like Classic EQ. Players who left as a 6-year Kunark turned Blue into the overly-twinked, pocket-cleric-epic-in-every-group abomination it's become today!

I think people are lowballing things... Yes the highest population on blue has been 2000+, but players have been trickling in and out of blue for years. Now many of the people who have played blue throughout the years are going to play at the same time. I'm expecting 5000+

That's me at least. For the past several years I've been just logging into blue to run around and hear the midi music. As soon as green launches I'll be on every day.
