Poll: Reopen Teal (Digital Social Distancing)

[phr0stbyt3]

Everyone seems to be unhappy about the high population.

...until they spend 6 days playing ECQuest because nobody is selling low to mid level gear or farming the mats they need anymore.

1000+ is a good thing. Embrace it. You'll miss it when it's gone and bone chips are 20pp / stack.

For real. It was kind of funny when Teal was a thing because people asked for a split and then complained that they couldn't find anyone to buy their stuff lol

Naysayers are making posts, but the vote count reflects the true sentiment of players.

418 yes - 167 no

I think I know why the naysayers are making posts.

Coming up on 600 total votes! Wow!

Wow! A whole 600 votes you say? Out of the 1600-1900 daily peaks we've been seeing? Will Ramal Modo form an electoral college to decide the outcome with such minimal representation?

A split would be extremely detrimental at this point to both servers. We can talk about "lessons learned" for the future, but what's done is done.

Total nonsense. Teal was a great place to be and was created because Green's overcrowding was detrimental to player enjoyment.

We're beyond that level of overcrowding now, everything is camped and all the group spots are utterly saturated. I don't log in much anymore because overcrowding is so awful.

There's really no argument against opening Teal.

If the project owners need financial resources I'm certain that can be addressed.

Teal was created when we had 300+ people in each newbie zone. That’s the over crowding it was designed to solve.

There’s no need for another server because you can’t believe that you could possibly have to wait for a camp instead of being able to log in and doing what you want immediately. That’s not classic EQ. If that’s such a huge issue for you, it sounds like classic EQ isn’t the game for you. Maybe try the TLPs with pick zones and instances because that is essentially what you are asking the P99 staff to implement.

If you can figure out some way to get all the players to come to the forums and vote I'll be mighty impressed.

Until such a time, the current poll numbers reflect those that come to the forums (usually a small percentage of any game community) and took/take the time to vote.

Exactly, it’s a small percentage of the game community as you say.

Teal was amazing

If another server is what the community wants or needs, perhaps this can be accomplished with funds.

Not sure if the devs read this thread, but I am certain if the obstacle is funding, the community here would rally to provide them. I doubt I'm only speaking for myself in that opinion.
