Time to Merge Teal into Green

Except the populations aren’t dropping precipitously, they are staying fairly static. Merge them now, especially with almost zero end game content, and you’re just going to have a lot of high to max level players playing tummy sticks because every possible end-game mob or event is poopsocked to hell and back. Still ample grouping going on at the lower levels, let’s not try and actively ruin what the devs split for in the first place.

*Ample grouping in the ZEM highway zones and nowhere else

Just wanted to fix that for you

Blue was just fine with less than 500 players for years. Far as I’m concerned we are super spoiled in this day and age with what we have in Green, with Teal waiting should our population ever drop too low.

Blue was better with over a thousand players averaging at a time. The game wasn't designed for 500 online, it was designed for 1-2k online. Why have 2 servers under capacity when you can have one in the sweet spot and play the game as intended?

We already did the 1600+ population Green server thing, it sucked balls.

Two servers is way better.

1600+ was awesome. There were people everywhere, which is one of the main points of an MMO.

I agree very heartily, Lord Pazuzu. High population and fair/equal footing ZEMs for the win imo.

This.

Folks who complain about overpopulation bsyond the first month when 90% of people are in newbie zones are just bitches who want their favorite camps in cb, bb, unrest, mm, rathe mts, and lguk open whenever they wander by and are too lazy/bad/scared to exp in places that aren't faceroll zem heaven.

people who complain about low populations with nearly a thousand dudes on at peak clearly don't enjoy playing the game so much as relish the drama that results from people fighting over camps

i.e. Social interaction, cultivation of reputation, and competition. You know, EverQuest.
