[magnetaress]

The guy? with the manastone avatar wants a new server to open so they can farm more manastones... Hmmm

Ya, 34% level 40-50 players before Sol Ro releases. Just like classic. My bad.

You know when you've proven someone wrong on an argument? When they switch arguments like nothing happened [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Where's my internet special olympics gold medal?

Where’s your proof that this wasn’t like classic? I remember every server being quite top heavy and packed from 40-50 pre-Kunark. Most of the people I know who say there weren’t this many high level characters are people who didn’t have many high level characters themselves pre-Kunark and didn’t actually experience it.

At any rate guys and gals, remember that the person pushing this poll is the same person that was on here trying to jack up the market price on manastones via forum posts so they could price gouge on the stones they had and benefit themselves. Think about that and then ask yourself if this person is a loot and plat farmer (which they clearly are), in what ways would they benefit from a server split where they’re able to farm on two servers at once that will later merge back together again. Then you’ll have your answer on why this person is pushing a temporary server split so much.

Yeh but who cares about him, what about everyone else who also wants a chance at phat lewts and camps? Just because this one guy wants a manastone doesn't mean I don't want more greater lightstones in NK and that guy over there doesn't want to camp x y or z. What about the majority of people voting who just want less competition in general?

So what you’re saying is that you tried classic and realized you didn’t actually like it? Green is below what most servers were in pop pre-Kunark. It sounds like you don’t actually like classic EQ if you can’t do whatever you want whenever you want, in which case that’s fine and the TLPs are there with instances and/or pick zone mechanics that allow you to reduce how many people may be in the zone you’re in. Things being occupied is simply a fact of life in classic EQ; I highly doubt the staff have any interest in creating another server just because higher level players are whining about having to wait in line for things.

On another note, there are like a million wisp spawns in NK and they’re not campable per the rules (except for a player being allowed to claim only one spawn in an outdoor zone). They wander everywhere. If you’re having a hard time killing wandering mobs in a zone where there are tons of spawns for that mob I’m not really sure what to tell you. That sounds more like a you issue than a population issue as I have never had a problem finding wisp spawns to kill just running around.

I'm sorry that 400 or so of you discovered that you don't actually like classic server population size. You should really request a refund.

Haha, troll gets utterly dominated in an argument, so goes back to sad, tired, specious, utterly flawed "classic is whatever I say it is" and "you can't have standards on a free server" nonsense arguments.

Must suck to be so wrong!

LOL!

They should never reopen teal just on the premise that OP is a total douche.

Oh Captain, my Gnomish Captain, thank you for saving me the effort of having to type exactly that. Well said.

1 elf, 1 vote. Get in line to vote on Greexit. Not looking too bright for 'Remainers'

One of the server's biggest trolls calls me a troll for disagreeing with him, sure why not?

As for the argument, this poll does not do what it aims to do. The sample of the population who visits the forums is tiny, self-selecting, and more likely to be upset about something. Not to mention there's zero control for the votes even being from green players vs blue/red/whatever visitors to the forum. I am obviously a 'no' vote, but none of what I just said means that there isn't a majority of players on green who would prefer to split again. This poll does not tell us that though.

I think opening teal in the first place was a terrible mistake. Zones should be full of people and lively. That is very much the classic experience. From what I saw, when the split happened, the people who left for teal did so because they wanted to have some sort of custom blue-like experience where they could camp things easily with little competition and stick to their favorite leveling path in familiar, popular dungeons. I'm sure that doesn't describe everyone who left for teal, but I think it covers a large chunk.

Sorry you don't like green, but this is the classic you signed up for.

I only see a few NO's. So I gotta say...

If you can figure out some way to get all thee supposed "NO's" to come to the forums and vote I'll be mighty impressed.

Server peaks around 1800. We got 614 votes. "Small percentage" you say? Ha.

The resistance from the handful of NO's is quite funny [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You can't ignore the silent majority just because they're silent. Take the 2016 US election as a good example of this. Or a bad example because of your personal beliefs about the electoral college. Whatever. Not everyone cares to show their face on the forum. Believe it or not, some people (I'm guessing a large majority) actually do just want to play the game as-is and be left alone. You keep repeating "WE HAVE 600 VOTES!" like you're taking a victory lap. You have 600 total votes, and 450 of them agree with you. You actually do NOT have 600 votes to support your position.
