Some issues here.

1. The current pop is hovering 2k-2.5k which is insane considering the server has been live a week, and the popular zones are already hitting 70+ (not including the 1--+ newbie zones on day one). That is only going to get worse as the non-neckbeards start hitting those levels.

2. A large amount of people are already focused only on getting some legacy items. Two servers will alleviate a great deal of the food stamp line for those items.

3. Spreading out over the world is cool and all but its zero sum if the goal is to level up and see actual content. Why join an oasis group for gators when sitting on a single spawn point in guk solo is comparable if not better experience. People who want to experience the game want to level up enough to not get murdered by a random snake.

4. More people than you realize are waiting for the shit show to taper off before joining further.

Frankly if you want green to stay a single server and support this population. Get rid of the ZEM so any zone with appropriate content provides similar exp instead of the best exp zone and loot zone being the bottleneck hell hole it currently is.

However I'm biased in the sense i want to relive classic where i get the neato legacy items, more servers=more chances

My thoughts exactly, I know of several people that have already written the game off for a few months because it is 'too busy to play on'.

I honestly wonder what the optimal population was back in the day, I have a feeling we have exceeded that.

that's great, but I still can't play at all, on any server, when there's more than 3-4 other players around. Please, please fix the dynamic lighting problems. It's causing horrible lag for lots of people, and the light it produces is very much not classic.

They can always merge them back together if they wish to, but having separate servers makes for a better experience for everyone. Less overcrowding makes the game even harder which is a good thing.

Can I transfer my characters from red to blue now please? Blues gonna need the population boost.

[Ivory]

Noooo no transfersss...let us start anew!!! Some friendly Green vs Teal rivalry!!

All progress also moves over to new server? Reputation and what not we worked on.

After Teal is created, can a char be made directly on Teal? Or is teal only for characters xfers from Green for the next 2 weeks, then they shut it off when pops are sort of even? Maybe I missed it in the first post (I have not met my coffee quota today I admit).

I only ask because put in for an IP exemption, and if the transfers are only from green to teal but those characters made before Teal opens, then he would not be able to move with me- he has not made his char yet he is still thinking on class and such and wants to read more after work the next couple days. Hopefully all that made sense.

I'd rather no one be able to transfer tbh. I don't mind starting over if it means the poopsockers will stay on green to keep their camps.

Right? I didn't have time to dedicate to Green launch, almost had a second chance with a calmer version through Teal. Ah well.

I would advise against that since neckbeards would just monopolize both servers and complicate life for casuals like me.

I think that is why people are asking. I'm kinda worried about it, in a month the same psychos will be on the list for both server's manastones on their high level mages. No reason not to.
