Was Having Two Servers More Fun Than One?

100% had more fun before merge.


I've been trying to sum up my personal feelings in a colloquial manner and the best I can do is..... Imagine you are a kid playing board games one night with your family. Everyone is relaxed - laughing and having a good time and picking on each other in a loving way.

The next day, a car accident happens. Your parents are now dead. You didn't see it coming.

You now live at your Uncle Jerry's house, who is rumored to be a pedophile. Uncle Jerry insists the rumors are not true.. but you don't like the idea of getting poked in the butt so you and your siblings move very cautiously around the house. Everyone is on edge and the laughter is gone. You miss home.

Yeah. Mrs. Vowels's analogy isn't quite spot on. Lol.

I was loving Teal! Idk if it's a random coincidence but I've found my interest in Everquest waning ever since the merge. I used to play a few hrs every day and now I only log in on the weekends and the last few weekends I haven't been enjoying myself. I've actually been contemplating quitting entirely. Which is crazy coming from me...EQ been part of my life in some shape or form the last 20+ years.

Is it time to end the quest?

Guessing that's a coincidence unless you are quitting because you think things are too crowded

Missing an option should have never been 2 servers as its overpopulating legacy items and never had the pop to support 2 servers.

I think its a wash for me... More people can be fun but less can also be better in situations. The tunnel is a lot more lively which is nice. Meeting new people and seeing new guilds has been fun. But I already have my main leveled and geared so its a little more chill leveling alts...

The “silent majority” you are referring to are teal casuals who briefly got a reprieve from classic Everquest.

I voted Pre-Merge but I'm still having a great time. But Pre-Merge was more fun for people who have a group of friends and want to find an un-used camp.

Now we gotta filter people into a camp one at a time, sometimes over the course of a few hours. Which is not as fun as before.

I'm having fun either way. It's just really slowed my progress down.

Its like going into work with the same 20 people everyday, getting to know who you like, who to avoid, chugging along doing your thing. Then all of the sudden 20 new people get dumped into your job you don’t know anything about. You’re too old and grumpy to try and make new friends so you stay away from them. Then they drink all the coffee and eat all the office cookies.
