Have you ever wondered if we are overpopulated or if we are just a normal server in classic time? Heres your answer. (Just random curious info if you ever wondered)

6pm GMT

I'll let you do the math on that, those numbers are no surprise at that time on a Friday

[Victorio]

Yeah, this is very far from primetime

I was going to point that out too. That would be 10:00am PST (VI local time).

[Ezalor]

this reeks of cherry picking

as others pointed out, average was 2,000-3,000 when not in off peak hours

Arguably P99 feels very crowded at the top end because we'd be in PoP(?) by now on a classic timeline.

Not sure about anyone else, but back on live during Kunark/Velious I was dicking around a lot and not thinking "better work on that epic", "better get to 60 asap" etc [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

spent years not lvling to 60 and just screwing around with pvp. server pop on p99 is very comfortable for those who were from pvp servers.

Yeah, I remember around 2000 per server prime time. This server just feels over crowded because everybody is doing the same thing. We're all piled in unrest and mistmoore(because zem) when runnyeye remains empty, the gorge is empty, Dalnir, Droga and Nurga are all empty. Couple of druids kiting in Karana and silk farmers but Karana is basically empty. Permafrost is empty.

Nobody is exploring, nobody is seeing where a quest-line takes them. I guess a few people are maybe as many as 100-150, but 90% of the server is leveling their 3rd, 4th or 15th alt, grinding in solb sebilis or charasis, or smoking the chardok crack-pipe.

During classic I played from Kunark until Ldon and never got above level 47, and I rocked jade maces with a fungus robe hehe. Oh well, at the end of the day I'm pretty happy with our population. Chardok makes me weep a little inside. Why nerf low-hp bard kiting, but not nerf this? Oh well it's too late now, the server 60-pop and economy are already skewed. Irreparable damage. Plus it would be a shame to put all those RMTers out of work.

Yeah this is off peak hours, I remember a 1200ish server being a good low population server to go to.

Why can't we have hotzones? This may encourage people to level in different areas. Probably not classic, but neither is everybody only leveling in a few specific zones. Neither is spawn timer variance.

Because the goal is to be mechanically classic. Deviating even further than that so some people can get feels is not in line with the direction of the server.
