how does teal even make sense now?

merging teal and green together makes a lot of sense because keeping them separate only makes the both of them into ghost towns, I continue to insist as a hundred dudes apparently poopsock solb

Blue did just fine when we only had a max of 150 players on. You all are spoiled, whining about population when we are 700+ a peak times of the day.

Where is the hurry to rush the merge? There's plenty of grouping to be had right now on both servers. Are you all not satisfied until zones like Permafrost and Splitpaw are overcamped too?

This couldn't be more misleading. No one said everything is taken. The fact that you have to try and pretend that shows your argument doesn't have legs to stand on.

My point which I thought was very clear is those crowded zones will just be more crowded. The empty zones will be just as empty. The only difference is that if you want a HK group your wait time will be doubled. Want a GUK group? Time would be doubled. Want to get a group into Runneye? Want to get a group into CT? It would be the same as it is now. You are going to have to make friends and bring a group.

No HGs available in Rathe?

EK has a HG, NK has a HG. I think WK does too.

There are other money camps. If you want them go find them - some are not well known and/or have a big faction cost, learning curve, or higher risk.

The fact that you are suggest EK, NK and WK as alternatives highlights my points. You could multiple the population by 10 and those still wouldn't be good spots outside of semi-afk at work or something. HG's at those zones wouldn't suddenly become good spots to farm plat lol.

Reminds me of people who live in cities with high cost of living, a very competitive labor market, and lots of traffic... and complain about it. There are other cities (zones.) If the exp/loot is just that good where you are, then stay and be happy. If not, move.

I think you missed my point entirely. There are other camps that pale in comparison. When the servers had 1k+ each every zone wasn't suddenly filled. Those specific zones were just more filled and had far longer wait times. Empty zones were still empty.

If the servers merge that isn't going to change.

It's got goods and bads. Low level zones are boring and unpopulated now (except for the usual suspects unrest/guk) Even mistmoore is deader than shit half the time. But at level 50, everything is already camped. So having both servers helps the top, hurts the bottom and is pretty average effect on the middle.

I didn't play on Blue when it was at max population, but was this the case? I can say that on the live servers back in the day, you saw a wide distribution of players camping things in the Karanas, Runnyeye, Cazik Thule, etc. Granted, ZEM's weren't widely known back then except anecdotally, but you didn't see this insane gravitation towards certain zones that you see now (Lguk might be the exception).

Just ban OP. His posts are obvious trollbait nonsense.

Teal is amazing. Casual level 29 player with a family. Never have a problem engaging with whatever content I want. Not sure what isn't to like.

Only problems have nothing to do with pop. People don't group in permafrost or other low zem zones. Tanks are rare. Both are a function of people knowing how-to and wanting to reach Max level at a reasonable clip. As much as we all say the journey is the game, no one puts there money where their mouth is and joins groups that are highly suboptimal or plays in suboptimal zones because it will take them 2-3 times longer to reach max level. Additional pop doesn't address this at all. It just forces people into camps they'd rather not be in.

Not sure if this matters, but adding to the chorus that Teal is great as is.

Some of you fine folks are being trolled by more than one person in this thread.

Yeah, exactly, no HGs available in Rathe. That shit's camped like almost all the time, much like most any other good soloing spots. Last time I went there early in the morning on a Wednesday, a level 50 magician there just killing them all for himself. I log out. Come back way later in the evening, like 10 or 12 hours later, he's still there killing all the giants. I'll give you one guess as to what guild he's in. These people need lives outside of this emulator.

This forum is a magnet for pointless, baseless bitching.

Merge needs to happen really, I do get raiding is easier with less competition but this just isn't EQ, not classico EQ anyway, the raiding scene needs to be more competitive and the server needs more people to be more lively, most zones are ghost towns.

People seems to be more worried about their loot than anything else, this is sad.
