I know, I'm unimportant right.
And once again not complaining. Just making an observation and suggesting a solution.

Youve played on here for an hour.

Kids nowadays... perhaps try WoW?

Dude I am probably older than you are. I played EQ when it first came out. I played for years.

This is a neckbeard forum for neckbeard eq vets. We all played since release bro. A significant chunk beta tested out of self hatred.

EQ is an over populated game if you stay on the XP highway zones. Go explore - there's a bazillion zones out there you probably have never stepped foot in.

Plus server is hitting 1800 player's frequently now, so expect some heavy populated zone. Or go play on red99 with a pop of 50 spread over 200 zones.

We're almost there to fully reliving the classic experience, when everything + your mom was camped by whole groups. 100 people in South Karana? Classic.

Is there any plans on dealing with the surge in players and the resulting overpopulation of zones?
U think a simple solution would be to crank up the xp modifier in empty and low pop zones. Let it be known that it has been done and I think it could help ease the population crisis that is looming around the corner.

One thing I love about EQ is how hardcore this game is. The competition is always a love/hate relationship. To use an analogy, P99 is like a stiff drink. And what youre asking for is a cosmo.

Swamp of No Hope, Beholder’s Maze, Runneye. Under 20 you and/or your friends can have the whole zone and xp with no competition. Early 20s Najena or start the entrance to CT or Permafrost. Keep working your way in until mid 30s. There are roads less travelled...

I saw groups in najena earlier on

Back in the day it was either fight for scraps in places like unrest or head on out to the often neglected places in the world. I remember being giddy i had 2 whole spawns to myself at the arena entrance in lake rathe.
