Overpopulated

[Yacoby44]

On Xev, one of the original servers, there were around 200 people in Gfay early on in Kunark and the chat scrolled faster than EC tunnel with /auctions. That is a vivid memory of mine I will never forget. Gfay just happened to be a major hub on my server apparently.

Hey, fellow Xev player! I recall the same. Server pop is pretty comparable to what I recall from that time. Povar was the original server from Xev, we were a split. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Gfay is the better hub. I never understoon EC / nfp

Gfay has the best name.
There is a wizard spire right there.
Evil races can bank in akanon and felwithe nps.

Could you train the superbuff guards to the spires (or wherever people gathered)?

/shout Slate to tunnel!

Tallon Zek had a Faymart.

I remember the bank there being a busy place on Druzzil Ro (specifically I remember having to try negotiate the crowds to bank through the window on my barbarian shaman).

NFP was awesome on my live server! Behind the Jade Tavern with 100 people crammed into that little yard. I guess it’s all just nostalgia tho, haha

Xev was awesome. Altera Vita, Black Burrow Stout Co, Shadow Clan. Those were the days!

Why did Teal open and then close? I came to P99 for the first time as soon as this happened and didn't know what was going on.

My intuition tells me I asked a question that is a touchy subject.

But I am new here, take it easy on me.

Also, a reply and a warm welcome would have been ideal.

Green is severely overpopulated.

The ZEM changes along with COVID has caused not only an increase in active players, but an increase in players spreading across zones.

This means whereas before some outdoors zones were still viable, due to them being "worse xp", now people are continuing to crowd the dungeon zones, but they are crowding the outdoor zones, as well.

This is the same situation that lead to the creation of Teal in the first place, except now we have many players who have been playing here for months, and they can't find anything to do.

What can we do?

New server? Increase spawn rate?

because right now, the server does not "feel classic", and players are disincentivized from even logging in.

Complaining about a "first-world problem" related to an unforseen global pandemic not only makes you appear insensitive, but extreeeemmely ignorant. Deal with it.

Also as stated, live classic was way more populated. I remember HHK goblins being split in to 4 or 5 camps!

there were times ya but mostly people were nice enough to go lvl on gnolls or camp something eleswhere if the zone looked crowded

ironically live didnt need as much gm intervention as players just were nicer
