Blue use to thrive in its prime with a high pop. I think it will be a bit congested yes but I also think there is a reason they've decided to take this action. people actually think its malicious which is hilarious, but in all honesty there was only a second server created because of how congested lvl 1-20 was on opening day of Green. they also said there would be a merge eventually, I was thinking Kunark would when the merge happens but like I said I think they did this for a reason, they've been running these servers for over 10 years as you can see my account dates to 2010. they know what they are doing, but who knows things could change at any time, they could decide tomorrow it was a bad idea to merge, guess we will find out. either way Im still going to play and support and spread the word of p99 XD cheers!

I will still play as well, and I do appreciate all the hard work they do. It's just this doesn't make a lot of sense. They created Teal to relieve congestion. Now they have just moved congestion from 1-20 to 40-50. Kunark merge would have made more sense when player base would have had MUCH more room to spread out.

I do agree 100% and thought that the merge would happen during Kunark myself but there's a reason they've done this...im sure we will find out in time. cheers bro

This is just wrong, there are a TON of people who aren't even 30 yet, much less 40. 40-50 will always be congested since you can't level beyond 50. They created teal because within the first few days nobody was higher than like lvl 15, and people were camping single static roaming mobs in outdoor zones. That is a much worse problem and it makes no sense to pretend *all* they did was move the congestion from one level range to another; there are way more relevant details to consider.

Nobody has answered this question.. Do people really think 1 server can handle 1.5k people on classic (no planes even yet) without serious congestion (thus fighting over spawns/camps)? The 2 servers at 600+ had issues with overcrowding at times, workable but still crowded. There is just no way 1 server can handle this many people IMHO especially late levels. There is just not room to spread out. This makes no sense logistically that I can see. I'd be curious for Rogean to at least explain the thinking, we might not agree, but at least might have better understanding.

There were no overcrowding issues with 600 people, and there won't be any with 1.5k.

The issue isn't 'there aren't enough zones to go to'. That's just stupid if you think that.

The issue is that every idiot and their mother wants to go to the same 3 zones for any given 10-15 levels. This is how you end up with 40 people in mistmoore while permafrost is completely empty.

There is *plenty* of room for 1.5k people on the server, as-is. However, those people have to be smart enough to not all try to go to the same 10 or 12 zones.

Reinstall the update. I had the same issue

[FeverHawk1999]

well I have reinstalled the update many many times now. still the same problem. Everything seems to be updating correctly however. Im old. I may need it dumbed down for me. The setup guide doesn't seem to have an answer.

Download V53 from the Home page here, its one of the first things that you will read when you click Home tab that's right beside the forums tab. among that sentence is a part that will guide you on what to do with the Download v53. you will be extracting what you have downloaded into your EQ folder. you will want to allow it to override everything it needs to.

I was already on the verge of giving up on green as I wasn't able to get into groups as a cleric at lvl 13 with everything always being full, there's no chance in hell for a group now. Going back to live for now, I'll check back in six months. Good luck to all.
