Bah.. not a real poll! But yes.. they should never have been merged. /shrug

Merge was planned since the first day of Teal and u should have read that on the font he front page of P99 website.

Also I agree with Cristiana or something like that... Norrath is huge explore it... or compete!

Original starter servers had approximately 10x the server that u all call overpopulated, all of u who think this is overpopulated have not played real early age classic servers where there are 20+ players in all zones and over 100 in more than just East commons.

not a bad idea...over 1300 when I logged on this afternoon.

I'll sign up to this the day "/who all kedge" shows fully camped. All jokes aside, as mentioned above, there are other places to go for XP. The real problem is everyone goes to the best spots to grind, myself included most of the time. This is a total shame because I have the most fun in the game when I don't care about the xp bar.

The population volume isn't the problem, the problem is the server is filled with 20 year EQ vets.

As has been suggested many times, the ZEM should be increased in several of the "less popular" zones. Hell for all I case they could even DECREASE the ZEM in the infamous zones.

It's painful comparing the XP rate in a low-ZEM zone to a high-ZEM zone. The high-ZEM zones really don't present the level of difficulty they once did, which was essentially the reason they were given him ZEMs in the first place!

The problem is the 20 year old EQ vets couldn't move on to new things because the industry took a shit on the genre (correction: Computers). I blame Blizzard (and Microsoft) but then again an MMORPG like we know it won't work on a console and the expectations are to make new games that appeal to the same audience as wow.

I didn't think I would still be messing around with this game 20 years later, would have laughed at you. The future is near and it is full of promise. I mean, we have EQ in 1999 think about what we will have in 2009 or 2019 (HAHA)

[Enter Xbox]

The mere idea of plugging in a KB&M, the zones being meh to work on them and the overall gameplay consisting or quest markers and Awesome Button mashing controllers..you would require the Common Core education to find them entertaining.

[Enter Cellphones & Tablets]

Who am I joking, it would be mobile. Raid: Shadow Legends. Free to play, skin store for that sweet John Wick skin in your high fantasy MMORPG, coin buying and gift cards for your epic weapon.
..posting the Fry "Take my money" meme on message boards.

Any dissenters would be astro-turfed by the parent companies online digital mercenary group posting nonsense "I love this game because X" or Ok Boomer. Reddit taught me that and whats more the users there know it and have commented about it.

Modern gaming is for jerks. So here we are fighting over 20 damn year old skeleton spawns, so STFU and be happy that at least this exists. Your sorry asses could be outside or playing a fucking MOBA..or any one of the same cookie cutter games on its 8th iteration and running on one of three game engines because that is all this industry can shit out despite being the most profitable and popular it has ever been.

That about sums it up for me. The computer gaming market today seems to cater to people who like very different things than I like. I don't decide between P1999 and some modern game so much as P1999 versus other non-computer activities or the couple other 1990's era games I still tinker around with once in awhile.

Someone else must've really liked the way computer games were back when because someone like me had no say in it. I grew into those tastes. EQ had nothing to do with anything I knew beforehand.

put Fortnite dance emotes in front of me and expect a smile?
