It seems like most people on this server are lazy and impatient, and wont settle for anything other than the most popular camps.
this.

i got my mage 1-45 in a couple days of playtime, generally being the only person in whatever zone i happened to be in.

I don't know how my /played was almost 14 days when I only played from march to july 1999 and was only level 13 (close to 14). I never left my computer unattended when going to bed back then so i am unsure how I accumulated that much. Even now with all of my afk time (even falling asleep and leaving it) I get to level 14 and past in maybe 2-3 days /played. Back then I didn't know about a lot of the quests or popular places. I just played to see all of hte different sights and sounds. I can understand that much, but it's still hard for me to grasp how I had that much /played at almost level 14.

My belief is that people leveled up a lot slower back then because it was new. Also... if you play this game solo a lot and you're not a mage or druid or necro you'll have a large /played and a lot of frustration, but it's a challenge too and some people will do it because they don't know better. Even now I have larger than normal /played on non-solo characters I solo too much (when I shouldn't). I prefer soloing though because I'm not tied to a group and do not have to stick around when I want to go afk or do something else.

I know that at the lower levels there're a lot of unused camps because people go to the popular places. There's room for two to four times more population in the lower level zones i'm sure. I have no idea about hte high levels, but it's pretty common for games to release with not enough high level content, especially for hardcores.

I rmemeber clearly seeing 2000+ on servers during live.

3 groups camping the goblins in HHK was awesome!

In general a better quality of players means that we are camping areas that would have had multiple groups back in classic.

Plus in my peak time it rarely gets above 300 right now...
