Did you guys even play on live? This is sort of close, but really not even that close to what just ONE out of dozens of server population was in 1999 (yes, pre-Kunark, I played). I get that people are unhappy they're falling behind because they want to go to the same high ZEM zones like everyone else, but that's classic. I guarantee there's mobs up all over that if people want to get xp, they can go there.

People know what zones are good for exp, they know hybrid penalties the game is not brand new where people are content just hunting stuff even if it's super crummy exp. If you want to go ahead but the server's not going to ruin your day that hard.

The people who want to transfer want to be able to log in and go to Crushbone or Blackburrow and not have it be 80 people deep with everything accounted for.

Maybe those people should play WoW or a live TLP server with instancing.

That's going sideways but sure. You can always just go setup your own private server where you can't be disappointed if this so rocks you to your EQ core.

It doesn't. I'm just giving facts, responding to the assertion that "1.5-2k population is too much for EverQuest". That's what makes it EQ. It's a limited world like another poster said. Dead servers are boring and the sense of achievement is meaningless, especially if you're going to have the Manastone factory churning them out 24/7 for 7 months for 2 servers that get merged. Yawn.

Was bad enough knowing people are going to /list for legacy items without putting in any work at all like they're applying for government assistance, but this too? Meh. Not too excited about green anymore. Splitting the population is a bad decision imo if P99 is going for a "classic EQ experience" and I'm allowed to have that opinion.

There were multiple servers early on in Classic. How is multiple servers here different?

Maybe because our 1 green isn't even close to what 1 of many servers was on live back on 1999? That's why it's different. Leveling took luck and creative adventuring around the game world if you didn't want to sit waiting LFG in a popular zone.

Y'all are spoiled and should prolly be playing a game that's not EQ if you don't like it.

This is a funny chain we got going.

Modern WoW players tell people to go play Fortnite.
Classic WoW players tell people to go play Modern WoW
EQ players tell people to go play WoW

Whats next? Honestly I find the whole thing ridiculous. Its like your saying I have this perfect image of what the game should be, if you don't like it go play somewhere else. There is a pompous air about the statement. Almost as if you and your game with your vision are so 1337 that someone should go play something beneath them. It's an arrogant statement. I've been guilty of doing the same thing.

Why can't we all just enjoy the damn game how it is? So what I didn't get to play EQ until PoP, and even then I didn't play it much. We are all trying to experience the game how it was when it came out. A lot of us for the first time. Statements like you should play WoW only serve to hurt the community. By using that as a defense for criticism, you are setting a divide between new and old players.

Rather than saying just go play a different game, try educating your critics rather than dismissing them. It will make them better players and help close that rift that people like you love opening up because us newbies are just tainting the game for your purists.

Thank you for always listening to your population!

Amen to this post.

I love modern WoW. I find it very rewarding to study and then master a new dungeon or raid. I get a totally different reward from EQ TLP and now P99.

It's possible to enjoy all of these things and I don't understand why it makes me lesser in some people's eyes.
