Project Quarm isn't going to just split the player base, it's going to decimate it.

It will definitely do a number on the population, but it will not decimate it:

1. Most of the players that will jump ship are those that like to move fast and did so with P99 already so they haven't really played the game outside of raiding and selling in the tunnel for a while. There are still plenty of purists, myself included, that love the game for the game itself and don't care about raiding and end game content as much as playing for the player interaction.

2. Since it is only a single character progression unlocked era server; those that want to play an Iksar will have to wait six months after release to play on the server, and those that wish to play a Vah Shir (although I cannot imagine what would drive such a wish) or a Beastlord will have to wait a whopping 18 months after release to play. Those people probably already aren't playing on P99 or, if they are, they will stay on P99 to wait out that time frame, so it won't affect the population anyway.

I would expect a huge exodus of players at launch of this server, as hype always generates hype, but some will be back after they out level the content and have to wait for the next expansion and players that want to play toons only available in later expansions, will have to wait as well. If you combine that with the players that will not leave, or plan to play on both servers, Project 1999 may need to combine the Blue and Green servers, but it will carry on and have a healthy population!
