VZTZ hit 330 concurrent at its peak, although it did allow 2boxing


the broadcasts (and global chat) helped the server feel alive and active, and IMO is one of the only "non-classic" things about any emu pvp servers that really worked


I think what will hinder pop is starting out in a zone with a handful of players in it, and not hearing anything from anyone for a long long time. The forums will become the new venue for trash talk and competition - it will just be less convenient and intuitive than if YT and global chat were in. I always felt like part of what made EQ PvP so great was the ability to freely communicate with eachother.

The only reason Verant didn't do it was because their servers actually had 1000+ people playing at the same time so logistically it wasn't possible because of the spam it would generate
