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?

Rogean is inevitable.

He's charging it up as we speak...

Good luck in your post-snap world, Green!

(should spawn Cazic Thule as Thanos and make this a GM event, TBH... if you can't kill him with your rusty swords and newb garbage before he can snap, server goes down and they do the /movelog at random. If you can, Green stays as-is.)

This is such a bad idea! You will halve the integrity of the server and everything people are working for right now, causing people to leave. So then you merge the servers once the population dips and all your left with is an artificial increase in items and a pain in the ass.

As many have said this experience is unique to EQ, fighting for resources and using wit to get ahead of the pack. Not only this but we're only in our first few weeks of lauch! 90% of the pop here are casual types like me who will probably never make those higher levels due to other commitments. The neckbeards camping the nice items will be same neckbeards regardless, just now they will have the chance to get 2x as many of said items. Give it time and the pop will reduce anyway and you can keep the integrity of green intact.

Selectively classic*

Why split the community?

Because of morons who can't read a few paragraphs to get the info they are looking for.

I never knew I wanted something so much.

Heh
It must be an amazing feeling for you devs, having to open yet another server 20 years later in this ancient game to comfort the crowds. I'm so humbled by your efforts. In 1999 i was a student playing in my dorm scared shitless from losing my corpse, now i am 20 years older and still scared, but for other reasons! Teal away [You must be logged in to view images.

Haha! This is a common thought I think. Teal away indeed!

Remember the servers that were race wars - had like gnomes, halflings, dwarves vs ogre troll dark elf, vs high wood half elf vs human barbarian and whatever maybe half elf was there. Anyways - that pvp was awesome.

Also god-based pvp.
