I don't really understand this complaint. I've been able to camp single spawn without issue in Nektulos and we had 230 at peak. I see a ton of reddit-type people running around like the spawns are magically materializing but given your 60s, you should know how the game works; find a spawn point and camp it. The spawns aren't even slow. If you aren't a soloer, over every rise lies another full group with unlooted kills littering their campsite. I see folks advertising for more non-stop.

Are you even trying to play?

I am trying but I admit I have never seen anything like this. 300+ people in a newbie zone is uncharted waters for me. So while I am used to playing, I am not used to not finding mobs to kill. I joined original EQ in OCT 2000 so by then Kunark was out with velious about to launch, server economy was established and all newbie zones had plenty of mobs for people to kill. Finding a group was not always easy but finding a mob to solo was never a problem.

I didn't discover P99 until November 2018. So obviously by then I had the same situation. Established economy and no shortage of newbie yard trash.

I'll try playing during non-peak hours on green. Probably have better luck. Fortunately I am used to working nights so I am wide awake at 3am, Im used to sleeping from 7 am till 2 pm. I'll do some early morning grinds maybe.
