Red is now the 4th highest pop server on the list.

11:42 PM, PST - 178 on red : 320 on blue.

Still early on in the statistics, but it appears people are leaving red and going back to blue.

I added dates, to make it easier to compare in a week.

Been saying this for a while. Noticed it is now under 300 at all times. It will fall even more on Tuesday when TOR aka WOW2 Releases. Might need to enable boxing brews.

The population is as good as it can be, because this server is about as good as a pvp server can be. Better then what eq live can provide at this point.

The people who exploited or took advantage of broken mechanics to lvl or kill things in pve they shouldn't have been able to are annoying but the majority of the player base isn't effected by this. Most do not plan on hitting 50 asap and raiding on this 12 year old game.

It is fun to pvp in the 1-40 range and once the majority of the population is 40-50 the people who are currently in that range will be camping planes non stop. The people everyone hates tend to all hate each other and take up each others time on their own. All the stuff that people have complained about on this server hasn't effected me one bit yet.

One example is a friend of mine who just started. He could never play eq back in the day because his computer sucked too bad. His number one goal is to get level 14-16 and pvp in CB non stop. This guy doesn't give a fuck if some nerd is using a wand on a guard or exploiting a dragon for some stupid drop. I'm sure once he gets 14-16 he will either decide to keep pvping, get a new goal and level up some, or get bored and quit.

You can't control the population. This server is providing as much as you could ask it to. What happens to the population happens.

I don't know a single person playing TOR that didn't do the early start last week. Quite a few people reached level 50 on the third day.

Will your buddy care that these same people who exploited bugs to level fast and bring down raid bosses with 1-2 groups of players, are now running around with level 10 twinks in full level 50 gear and full level 50 buffs?
