So what are the class meta population look like currently?

[CHusk2]

I'm a 12 rogue and finding a group is usually easy. But, today is was brutal. Not a group to be had. I'm sure it's different at the higher levels, but I just don't see how anyone with a job can be level 20+ right now.

Overall, I've found that we have a good mix of classes in the 10-15 range. No idea what it'll be like post 20.

I played a rogue on blue during kunark era. Groups totally loved rogues back then - no exp penalty, massive dps, many of them were epicced and stuff already - but it was still a regular thing that you'd sit around with lfg on and asking in ooc for an hour or more without finding a group. It literally was the reason I made my first enchanter on p99.

I'm not knocking rogues. THey're amazing. But being totally reliant on groups? It sucks. It's why so many people play classes that aren't totally reliant on groups!

very difficult to find groups pre 20.. Like I have argued the server split wasn't necessary the power bottoms will jump ahead and the casual or gamer with a work life balance will struggle with 2 low pop servers to find half assed groups.

I called this

most newb yards are 20 people and adjacent dungeons are empty

You ever take a break from bitching about the server split, or is this your life now?

People pick the strangest things to fixate on. I remember folks who quit (or at least raged and said they'd quit) over the stamina bar not working, or over buff timers being removed, or other seemingly trivial nonsense. The pre-split "Green" server population was greater than March '99 servers could even handle prior to later hardware upgrades, and the current populations are more nearly accurate to in-era norms. Maybe he could explain what his REAL problem is, but he's not going to gain much traction claiming that era-appropriate populations are somehow "dead."

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought as well. I was perfectly happy with just green, but it is what it is. Whether there are 1k or 2k players online it's a big world. Plenty of niches to find.

You can definitely be 20+, the problem is that most people prefer to just sit around LFG waiting for the ultimate group to just fall in their lap. The trick is that you sometimes need to form your own group. Do w alls lfg around your level range and start sending tells. Just like mostly everything else in life, if you want it done you need to do it yourself.
