What kind of population did classic have during live? I feel like I remember seeing numbers as high as 1500 concurrent pre-Kunark.

Even saryrn was 1500 peaks in early kunark and it was the lowest (or nearly lowest) when I started there.

Honestly, if it was another standard ruleset PVE server I’d switch. 750 people seems like the sweet spot IMO. With the population on Green and Teal we could probably end up with three servers around 700 people at peak times.

Less drama, more fun. It won’t happen, but I’d probably be the first one to switch.

I would move as well. How likely is this going to happen though?

Only because I'd be busy donating again before switching. 700 at peak times can give a glimmer of hope of raiding content.

cheers,

Another server would not fix that. It would just thin out the player base making pickup groups harder to get and I guarantee the big item/cash camps would still be perma-camped on all servers.

Greed has always been part of the EQ culture unfortunately. It was bad on live in 2000, it was bad on Blue and it's bad on green/teal and likely to get worse. But at least it's classic [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah, pretty much this. You'd have to spread the pop so thin to get to the point where there aren't solos and duos locking down most of the valuable stuff most of the time that the rest of the world would look even less like live eq than the money camps do now.

I don't understand this perception that players occupying a space you want is "greedy". In fact I find you perceiving it as greedy, to be greedy. Those individuals are playing a video game the way they'd prefer - why should anyone be forced to do something they don't want to do when they're entertaining themselves?

TLDR - If you think someone is being "greedy" in EQ, you actually have a greedy line of thought in that you are entitled.
