Overcrowded

[Lorian]

Not massively overcrowded compared to classic, i beg to differ! We live in a different world now and comparing old numbers with new numbers is like comparing apples to pears.

A server of 1500 users during prime time where everyone is wearing decent to excellent gear and knows everything about every single pixel in the game would correspond to having like 4-5000 simultaneous users back on live 2000 where most people were clueless and wearing cloth and leather.

I would like to use an analogy with hunter-gatherer societies and the extinction of species, when their hunting gear and skills became more refined their population exploded, mammoths went by-by and the hunters needed needed vast territories to sustain their new lifestyle. And start killing rivals for the pray (P99 Red)

Velious will hardly solve the overcrowding issue, I'm pretty sure that even with Luclin added most the good hunting grounds would be camped during prime time. Yes, you can hunt in poor xp/loot areas but people want to play the game feeling they are effective even if they ultimately are doing it for fun. With the incredible knowledge from the wiki and forums that the players enjoy today there will never be a 'classic' feeling of discovery and adventure.

Fortunately I live in the UK and can enjoy a few hours of relatively decent access to the good spots during Saturdays and Sundays. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
