So then are they being merged when Kunark launches are they both staying split until they get dumped onto blue?
I'm not thrilled about the pop split. People will play less over time, and regardless of the split important camps will always be camped, so the saturation only effects exp, which isn't hard to get. Camps with 1 or 2 mobs were common even in classic, so this seems beneficial explicitly to people who refuse to either move camp or solo/play a different character/play a different game/do something else when they can't get a camp. Population splits have other effects beyond farming exp and pixels as well, especially in a closed environment. Consider WoW classic. It had tons of servers, but most streamers and their fans dogpiled onto Faerlina, resulting in the server becoming dogshit. So much so that it had massive queues and crashing, plus it's super-saturated with far more than normal. Doing this on p99 will have unforeseeable results in regards to guilds and the population. It's not just player_001 deciding to switch, it's an entire guild, their friends, their friends, their friends, their guilds, their guilds, their guilds. Or refuse to, and lose their friends. It's impossible to balance, more like just hoping for the best. All because someone couldn't wait to get that sweet sweet orc 1 camp. I don't think it's the best choice. Surely some sort of list system for camps (as opposed to handing it off to friends/guildmates) would be preferable? Although it's easy to just say it I guess, I can't code it for you. Hopefully it all works out. I've played a lot of MMOs and there is nothing worse than playing on a dead server. The only people who would enjoy that are pixel farmers, and no one cares about them. | ||

I'm glad this will take some pressure off of green but I think might stay on green. Main concern I have is if I move to Teal I'm afraid there wont be enough people to sell newbie items(like Bone Chips) to. I can't even afford one of my starting Druid spells now, I need all the help I can get.

Add one to the list of people that aren't going to bother to play anymore as a result of this change. To be fair I should add I was already thinking of quitting this is just an extra push into that direction.
I was really enjoying seeing people I recognized everywhere over the past week. Sometimes I'd even see them on streams, too. It truly felt like something special and I was really enjoying it. Now I can assume 50%~ of those people I met will transfer off. My first thought was "I need to log in and camp my friends list and talk to them all!" but then I just thought instead "Why bother?" The amount of relevant streamers to my gameplay will also cut in half, too. It was fun having eyes all around Norrath. I'm not mad. Just disappointed. Reading comments from experienced EQers saying stuff like "I dont know why some of you all believe that a second server is going to fix the raid scene. It only takes, what, 20-50 people to lock down classic content." on Page 19 citing their experiences on Blue makes it extra disappointing for sure. Is that even true? | ||
