Question regarding server split

[jcr4990]

I like how people reference how Live servers had 2k players and think that's a valid point.

Did you guys forget P99 has been on Kunark for like 4 years? I bet out of those 2k players prolly 60% of them or more never reached max lvl before Luclin. I don't know the exact stats but I'd wager P99 has a higher % of the population at max lvl or at least 50+ crowding all the same zones/good camps. It's not even CLOSE to a fair comparison and you're dumb if you think it is. Not to mention there's a lot of basically untouched zones in P99 that had way more action back on Live cause ppl didn't know any better that the exp/loot wasn't worthwhile compared to other places.

I thnk people mostly want a server split because of player numbers, not the fact that everyone has so much BIS gear.. but to be fair everyone will be BIS in a new server in like 3 months anyway :P

cant change the knowledge of the game!

I totally agree its cause of player numbers. The "Well there were 2k ppl on live servers" is a stupid argument was my only point. Cause on Live ppl didn't know any better and actually grouped in crappy zones. There were also LOTS more lower lvl ppl regularly playing. P99 everyone knows where the good exp/loot camps are and flocks there and the vast majority of people are 50+

1.2k players ends up feeling like a LOT more than 2k used to feel

I would counter that the reason people grouped in 'crappy' areas is not because they were 'crappy' but because it was necessary due to the fact that other areas were full.

The big problem is the fact that everything is so top heavy. 2k pop live servers pre-velious launch were mostly sub 50 players. I'd venture less than 20% of the population was above level 50 on live. Here 85% of the server likely has at least one character above 50.

Yep. I started on Live around the start of Velious, and Everfrost regularly had 10-15 people. Permafrost had 2-3 groups every evening. There's nothing like that here because we've had 4 years to level up.

Exactly. I remember having multiple groups of low lvl ppl killing trash orcs/leopards/mammoths in everfrost. How often have you witnessed that on P99? I remember there being a minimum of 2 groups going in Blackburrow at any given time. Outside of high lvls farming the shit out of fangs. How much action has Blackburrow seen lately?

0-4 people in Kaesora, Droga, Nurga, and Dalnir and 12-30 people in CoM, 24-40 people in KC, and 20-40 people in Sebilis is EXACTLY where Kunark was right before Velious came out during peak hours. That's about what I've see on /w just about any night of any week.
