SoE brings down servers as fast as they go up.

Trakanon (the last blue server to go up in 2008) lasted all of a few months before they decided to nuke it, move people to Tunare and do progression servers instead.

Vox(regular blue server) was launched in spring 2012 and still going strong - although recent idiotic changes might change that (as it might for all the remaining servers).

That's even more hilarious... why nuke Trakanon (a blue server) in its infancy and then "try again" a few years later.

Too much stupid with whoever is managing EQ1 these days.

To be fair then Vox was launched along with EQ going F2P and suggested to new players to be the server to start on. Which is probably why at least half the - rather healthy - population on Vox are true EQ noobs.

Sadly all these new players are playing under the heavy weight of the massive easifications supplied by Defiant drops, marketplace purchaseables, mercenaries, hold-your-hand-questing etc. etc. - thus mostly entirely unable to play their class(es) at all well, let alone know anything about the zones and Lore of EQ in general.
