Overcrowded

[Vorkon]

I'd be interested to see trend data regarding Zones and Population compared to the EXP Zone Modifier Table. I think a lot of the reasons people tend to congregate in certain area's (wait for groups, competition over camps) are directly related to exp gains and potential loot gains vs. to grinding out steady exp.

Once Velious goes live I'd expect to see more groups in places like ToFS, Velks, and Sirens Grotto over The wastes, cobalt scar and open zones. I don't see anything really addressing the overcrowding in certain zones issues unless there was a wholesale change to loot drops on open world mobs (none of which I'd advocate).

The game has great design

It just wasn't designed to be emulated 15 years later with all the quests/xp spots/fast tracks/tricks known in advance and a 4 year per expansion time line

P99 Devs and code holders would never allow that.

Whats a 'code holder'?

Anyways I wouldn't want to fork the base, just pay for and admin a separate server.

Play off peak times.

Unrest had 4-8 people in it last night.

Non-dev with access to the codebase!

The other day i waited 2 hours and 40 some minutes in mistmoor for a group spot because i could not find anyone willing to go elsewhere. The day after that, almost 2 hours.

I would like to say this is an anomaly. It's really starting to wear me down since I chose the absolute worst soloing class as my main and currently only character (rogue).

Play a couple of characters in differing level ranges.

Of course, doing this might end up turning your alt into your main, if you have a cleric or warrior.

What I have noticed lately, is a lot of "Duo" monk/shammy everywhere. I'd imagine they are boxing, but I am giving them the benefit of the doubt.
