So it seems to me the server pop is finally starting to climb back up again. I was wondering if there is a graph of sorts out there showing population trends? I seem to remember seeing one a year or so ago but maybe im thinking of something else. Would be cool to have some sort of graphing system that audits the population a few times a day. Anyone know?

I recall when people started doing this on EQ live long ago. They used to list the actual population for each server at the server select screen. (man, pre-Kunark servers with 2400 players was... interesting).
Anyway, Sony removed the player counts once the numbers started to go down. Web sites were analyzing the trends and commenting about the long-term viability of EQ etc. I think this was around when WOW came out..
I think it would be interesting to see this for P1999

Yeah! Newbs in the basement. Twenties to forties in the Lookout Room, Guard Room, Warrior Room, and Raider Room. If you didn't have enough, you could have done the guards and bards until 50.

It was the one stop shop for leveling. Food, water, buffs, and it was an outdoor zone with a decent ZEM. Man, I miss that zone.

Ya population is more about the summer than anything. Was always that way on live and continues trending in any mmo. If the population wasn't rising about now that's what would worry me. Everybody is back from vacationing, going on trips, doing their lake thing. All the fun things that make summer great.

There has been an influx of "New or returning player" posts on the forums as well. So that is also a bonus. Server will thrive come mid winter and especially when Velious gets released.

Life expectancy of an LGuk frog was like 5 seconds.

I never saw more than four: LR, WR, RR, and that duo spot in the little nook next to LR.

It's august 1. Hardly the end of summer.

Server bump is probably from 2 boxers coming out of the woodwork due to various reasons

Eh? Lotta schools and universities are moving in or have already.

The end of summer vacation is what I meant. Always seems to be bumps then.

Actually that sentence wasn't correct. You can't effect a decision any more than you can bored a train.

I couldn't resist.
