Question regarding server split

there is currently no need for a second blue server, but if server pop exploded to 3-4k it might be a good idea

I like how people reference how Live servers had 2k players and think that's a valid point.

Did you guys forget P99 has been on Kunark for like 4 years? I bet out of those 2k players prolly 60% of them or more never reached max lvl before Luclin. I don't know the exact stats but I'd wager P99 has a higher % of the population at max lvl or at least 50+ crowding all the same zones/good camps. It's not even CLOSE to a fair comparison and you're dumb if you think it is. Not to mention there's a lot of basically untouched zones in P99 that had way more action back on Live cause ppl didn't know any better that the exp/loot wasn't worthwhile compared to other places.

I thnk people mostly want a server split because of player numbers, not the fact that everyone has so much BIS gear.. but to be fair everyone will be BIS in a new server in like 3 months anyway :P

cant change the knowledge of the game!

I totally agree its cause of player numbers. The "Well there were 2k ppl on live servers" is a stupid argument was my only point. Cause on Live ppl didn't know any better and actually grouped in crappy zones. There were also LOTS more lower lvl ppl regularly playing. P99 everyone knows where the good exp/loot camps are and flocks there and the vast majority of people are 50+

1.2k players ends up feeling like a LOT more than 2k used to feel

This guy so far makes a great irrefutable point and is very handsome and charming.

to any questions regarding server split. See Grumpy Cats response to Dashing through the...
NO.

Simple answer. Population would need to reach over 9000 for it to be a problem.

Yep. I started on Live around the start of Velious, and Everfrost regularly had 10-15 people. Permafrost had 2-3 groups every evening. There's nothing like that here because we've had 4 years to level up.

Exactly. I remember having multiple groups of low lvl ppl killing trash orcs/leopards/mammoths in everfrost. How often have you witnessed that on P99? I remember there being a minimum of 2 groups going in Blackburrow at any given time. Outside of high lvls farming the shit out of fangs. How much action has Blackburrow seen lately?

it be true, if I didnt want to play classic looking eq with crowded zones, I would just wander around EK on live picking flowers with ample space to spare.. im here for the crowds [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] well the crowded classic zones that is.

Nothing is better than seeing someone in the karanas xping while you're running errands.. aka hailing farmers for no reason other than to RP
