Was Having Two Servers More Fun Than One?

Two servers was fun but felt like a side show not an EQ experience

1200 people is classic - was around 2000 people on some servers even

The poll was definitely not "which is/was more classic?" (this forum could argue that until the cows come home [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]).

But whichever one was more fun, before or after (or neither), vote that!

There's nothing to argue about that though if you're not delusional and pissy because it's a little harder to get a manastone now. 700 peak concurrent players was not AT ALL classic. Current server population is much more classic. I get that there's a lot of stupidity that gets argued over here but trying to argue that low server population is classic is beyond even these boards I would imagine.

IF you get to define "which is/was more classic?" only as "which resulted in closer to classic population numbers?", then that is an objective fact, and we can both agree that the post-merge numbers are "more classic" in that sense.

But I would also suggest that the question "which is/was more classic?" could be interpreted many other ways than just considering population numbers. I have absolutely zero desire to in engage in any kind of argument one way or the other, I'm just saying what I said was far broader in scope than what you said ... and what I said is not incontrovertibly clear one way or the other: both sides have arguments to make.

100% had more fun before merge.


I've been trying to sum up my personal feelings in a colloquial manner and the best I can do is..... Imagine you are a kid playing board games one night with your family. Everyone is relaxed - laughing and having a good time and picking on each other in a loving way.

The next day, a car accident happens. Your parents are now dead. You didn't see it coming.

You now live at your Uncle Jerry's house, who is rumored to be a pedophile. Uncle Jerry insists the rumors are not true.. but you don't like the idea of getting poked in the butt so you and your siblings move very cautiously around the house. Everyone is on edge and the laughter is gone. You miss home.

Well that analogy was totally unhelpful without any context as to why specifically you don't like the merge. Are you one of the people who just wants to go to the high ZEM zones or farm the most valuable items/cash camps and you aren't having fun because you think it's too crowded because you can't do whatever you want whenever you want?

The analogy is a progression of feelings. Relaxation, Fun, Laughter.. followed by Trama, Distrust, Feeling of Loss, Heartbrokenness.

Please don't take it personally. I don't feel like sparring or having intentions projected on. How I feel is just how I feel. Loramin asked for personal thoughts. You can feel free to disagree.

I VERY deliberately phrased the question to be about how people feel personally, too try and get honest reactions. I mean, the point of a poll (if you're being genuine) is to determine exactly that, right? How a bunch of people feel?

There's no "right or wrong" to feelings, so if anyone is offended, or goes into "attack mode", because an Internet stranger honestly shared ... maybe question why it does that?
