Project 1999: Teal

[Vaye]

The fact is, even at concurrent numbers of 1500 to 2000, it is simply too many players for pre-Kunark. Considering all of this, it has become clear that us that a second server has become necessary.

Did you guys even play on live? This is sort of close, but really not even that close to what just ONE out of dozens of server population was in 1999 (yes, pre-Kunark, I played). I get that people are unhappy they're falling behind because they want to go to the same high ZEM zones like everyone else, but that's classic. I guarantee there's mobs up all over that if people want to get xp, they can go there.

I've always had the most respect for your guys' relentless dedication to creating the most classic EQ experience, no matter how much people object to loss of quality-of-life things that are everywhere in MMOs now like instancing, so this is a huge disappointment. I've worked hard on Green but idk what the point is now if you're going to have 2 ez mode servers because they'll both have 1k pop. We've got 7 months of legacy items.. Are people really babyraging that hard because people are already getting manastones while they're still level 10?

People know what zones are good for exp, they know hybrid penalties the game is not brand new where people are content just hunting stuff even if it's super crummy exp. If you want to go ahead but the server's not going to ruin your day that hard.

The people who want to transfer want to be able to log in and go to Crushbone or Blackburrow and not have it be 80 people deep with everything accounted for.

Maybe those people should play WoW or a live TLP server with instancing.

That's going sideways but sure. You can always just go setup your own private server where you can't be disappointed if this so rocks you to your EQ core.

It doesn't. I'm just giving facts, responding to the assertion that "1.5-2k population is too much for EverQuest". That's what makes it EQ. It's a limited world like another poster said. Dead servers are boring and the sense of achievement is meaningless, especially if you're going to have the Manastone factory churning them out 24/7 for 7 months for 2 servers that get merged. Yawn.

Was bad enough knowing people are going to /list for legacy items without putting in any work at all like they're applying for government assistance, but this too? Meh. Not too excited about green anymore. Splitting the population is a bad decision imo if P99 is going for a "classic EQ experience" and I'm allowed to have that opinion. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] May as well be playing a TLP server tbh.

You do realize if it's as dead as you are implying it will come to be they're going to remerge in like 2 weeks right?

There were multiple servers early on in Classic. How is multiple servers here different?

Maybe because our 1 green isn't even close to what 1 of many servers was on live back on 1999? That's why it's different. Leveling took luck and creative adventuring around the game world if you didn't want to sit waiting LFG in a popular zone.

Y'all are spoiled and should prolly be playing a game that's not EQ if you don't like it.

Complaining while on a server you're playing on for free that's even nice enough to give you classic EQ but the populace is spoiled.
