Poll: Reopen Teal (Digital Social Distancing)

[drackgon]

I raid all the time, which to me is hell lot of fun. Bc I get to raid with tons of really kool people, I've met and became friends with. Heck even still friends with those that left us, I play d3 with some of them. Plus I once in blue moon get some friends together and roll lowbie toons and level(nothing more fun then this totally when drinking late night).

And all those popular zones and camps will still be fully camped on the other server. This was the case when Teal existed (many of you just weren’t sufficient level for those more popular high level camps and zones, so for you it was all roses).

Not just popular zones, like every zone, any time of the day now...it's mostly due to the nature of Green's class make-up (mostly necros/encs/mages vs classic server make-up). Rivervale is always camped, Misty Thicket always has a necro or 2 there (even at 6-7 am EST), Mistmoore is always full, Rathe Mountains, etc...

Sorry that you have to wait your turn for a camp. Welcome to classic EQ.

One thing that the merge did accomplish is that people started going to other zones to XP, this is as someone coming FROM teal TO green at the time. On teal from 45+, in many ways from 40+ you basically went to highkeep and got on the noble/bard list if you wanted to actually group for 40's xp in PUG's.

The lower population meant that you really struggled to put stuff together for anywhere else with the hive mind dictating that the path was Highkeep XP mod or nothing's worth even doing. After merge people started to actually use SolB more and other zones somewhat.

Of course now Highkeep is much less popular since people think that the ZEM change made it "bad" xp (its not) but also since the relative gear power levels have increased such that duo/trio of the bards and nobles is much more achievable.

Classic EQ had one to two level 46+ monopolizing every single money/item camp in the game? And then passing the camps onto other accounts/ips/guildies exclusively? I don't remember this and neither do 99% of the people that actually played during 1999-2001 live era.

Adding teal won’t fix this... there are enough players like Mannastone now that will keep everything perma camped on both servers. Especially if they allow you to box both servers. Most of these hardcore players have multiple characters on separate accounts so they can own camps on both servers.

Yeah and we already saw it happen when Teal existed. Idk how people seem to think that splitting the server will somehow mean all these popular and valuable camps somehow just miraculously open up all the time for them lol. You have people like OP who want the second server so they can farm on both simultaneously (remember peeps, OP was the one who camped multiple manastones and used forum posts to attempt to artificially drive up prices on manastones so he could price gouge people. He has level 50 characters. He isn’t asking you to vote yes on his poll so he can XP lol...he wants a second server so that he can monopolize the camps you want so bad on both servers).

Changing camping policy to require sharing. Whoever has the camp has to invite others wanting in the camp until the group is full. This will establish the classic experience.
