Poll: Reopen Teal (Digital Social Distancing)

[Gamkek]

There must be a lot of "classic" players here with shorter (or real selective) memories. I played on E'ci since near-launch. 1500 prime time players was a normal, healthy population back in the pre-Kunark era, and we're not even there yet.

I'd also like to re-iterate what others have said here. If you go outside the popular, standard leveling track you've always followed, there are tons of places to level up and even camp interesting gear. It may not be ideal or provide you the perfect min-max gear for your level, but you'll progress nearly as fast as you would anywhere else in ideal conditions, and definitely faster than you would having to compete for mobs in over-populated zones. Temple of Cazic-Thule is a great example someone else gave. That place was constantly packed pre-Kunark on the offical servers. Usually, it had several groups going, with multiple good items camps in there, constant LFG/LFM calls, and it's damn near empty on P99 Green. I recall it distinctly, as I played several Ogre/Troll characters.

So long story short, the server is not over-populated. Talk overpop when we're ~2000. Now get out there and explore the world vs. just doing your same comfy track. Try to XP in some places you maybe haven't before. You might accidentally have fun and see something you forgot, or have never seen before. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
