very difficult to find groups pre 20.. Like I have argued the server split wasn't necessary the power bottoms will jump ahead and the casual or gamer with a work life balance will struggle with 2 low pop servers to find half assed groups.

I called this

most newb yards are 20 people and adjacent dungeons are empty
You ever take a break from bitching about the server split, or is this your life now?

People pick the strangest things to fixate on. I remember folks who quit (or at least raged and said they'd quit) over the stamina bar not working, or over buff timers being removed, or other seemingly trivial nonsense. The pre-split "Green" server population was greater than March '99 servers could even handle prior to later hardware upgrades, and the current populations are more nearly accurate to in-era norms. Maybe he could explain what his REAL problem is, but he's not going to gain much traction claiming that era-appropriate populations are somehow "dead."

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought as well. I was perfectly happy with just green, but it is what it is. Whether there are 1k or 2k players online it's a big world. Plenty of niches to find.

Overall, I've found that we have a good mix of classes in the 10-15 range. No idea what it'll be like post 20.
You can definitely be 20+, the problem is that most people prefer to just sit around LFG waiting for the ultimate group to just fall in their lap. The trick is that you sometimes need to form your own group. Do w alls lfg around your level range and start sending tells. Just like mostly everything else in life, if you want it done you need to do it yourself.

Most groups will happily take a Rogue over a Magician or Wizard for DPS slot. You can get to the camp easy, you can help with CRs if there's a wipe, if you get agro the tank doesn't have to run around the room trying to get it back, you don't run out of mana and you don't have a pet to cause a massive train.

Rogues that can turn off auto attack when they get aggro are amazing.
There are no amazing rogues. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

People say they want tanks, but nobody actually wants tanks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you check the /who all X-X LFG of every level range, the tanks are high and dry.

They want tanks not warriors. Wars suck at holding agro.

They dont want exp pen.

What is left? Pets

Mage nerfed... so necro pets.

Melee is hard to find anyway so dont invite them and you are good with pet tanks and casters.
