Teal

thank you staff!!!!

Agreed, Teal is great. It is low(er) population for folks who want that. Other folks want a super high population and that's fine, they stay on Green.

Kept my Rogue on green but almost immediately got grouped and got some great xp last night. Had been 5 for days, now I’m almost 7.

Thanks staff!

Thanks staff for opening this server up!

It was so nice to not have to run around for at least an hour trying to find a place for a group to sit down and get experience. People were super nice about respecting camps as well, no kill sniping or KSing experienced all night.

Man I so called it right. 1200 on Green and 400 on teal as I type this. We need more characters to come to teal people......Come join the fun!

The problem Teal will have is that ultimately it's going to be the same old experience as you had on Blue. What I mean by that is that, due to the low population, everyone is going to pack into the same high ZEM zones and refuse to go anywhere else. Even if you got it up to 1k it would still be the same (as we've seen on Blue). Part of the draw of Green for myself and I think many others was that the population would be high so people would have to go off the beaten path; we'd be able to group and level in zones that are almost never used on Blue. If you go to Teal, that goes away because you'll be on the server where everyone is just following the old Blue leveling path. So essentially what it becomes is Teal is the server where you go if you want to focus on maximizing your EXP per minute and don't care about doing the exact same leveling path over again that you've already done a hundred times on Blue, and Green is the server you play on if you're just here for the old school pre-Kunark era experience and are fine with leveling in any zone not just the high ZEM ones (and don't care how fast you level.

Also, about 25-30% of Teal's population are playing a character on Green simultaneously. They weren't interested in another server due to population or anything like that. It's just an opportunity for them to duplicate items and money by rolling an alt on Teal.

Anyone else feel like this Teal split was rushed?

Teal Multiboxing - Check!
Teal Name Duplicates - Check!
Teal Trading - Check!
Population skew- Check!

We essentially have people who claim to like EQ, but really are more suited for WoW in terms of their need for maximum EXP at all times and needing to be able to do whatever they want whenever they want

So from your post I can already tell that you don't really consider eq a game, you consider eq an "idea". Basically eq is a concept of what you think things should be like according to your memory... probably slow exp, travelling around, talking to people, and being a casual. The reality is that everquest is a game that actually exists and people can play it or not play it based on the rule sets provided. If someone dislikes the /list or dislikes the fact that they can't buy any mage pets(only "classic" for 2 months out of 20 years btw) do they not like eq?

If the vast majority of "eq players" weren't after maximum exp like you say, then guk wouldn't have 70 people and runnyeye would have more than 1-2 people. Whether they're more "suited" for wow or not is irrelevant because like I said eq is a game that actually exists in reality and they can choose to log in or not.

Sure are a lot of people from green whining about teal, and a lot of people on teal having fun.

FTFY
