My theory is that we have a lot of players who have become lazy because they are used to playing twinked out characters on Blue.

They probably aren't new, they probably aren't bad players. They are lazy players.

Oh and BTW I'm on disability, been dealing with cancer for the last four years, so I have free time (when I'm feeling okay). That's not the issue.

Classic EQ is like that chick in Highschool that had you wrapped around her finger and gave you just enough to keep you wanting to come back for more. She toyed with all your emotions and had fun doing it, with just as many highs as llows.

She’s moved on, probably had a few divorces since but still to this day gives no shits about you. The reality is, you’re living off nostalgia, you never really liked her or gained anything from her which truly made your life better and you a better person as a result. You just couldn’t and still can’t get enough of riding that emotional rollercoaster.

Although this is funny, I don't agree with the main message. There have been times I played eq on live, and on p99, and it felt rewarding, fun, and satisfying. When I played on blue a few years ago I never thought "why am I doing this" it felt fun in and of itself. To me green just feels artificial and mechanical for some reason but I can't really explain why.

Perhaps you have just hit your fill of EQ?

Overthinking it?

If I was playing green and thought it was the best thing ever I would probably be making posts about how it was the best thing ever. I was super hyped for this release for months and it just hasn't been everything I wanted it to be.

I've rolled 3 characters on Green and gotten them all to lvl 2-3, but I haven't been able to play for more than an hour or so before logging off and going back to Blue. Glad people are enjoying Green, but I'm not sure it's going to stick for me. Hopefully some people start splitting their time more or re-prioritize Blue so the pop gets back up to around 800, but even if they don't, I'll likely be going down with the ship. I just like my characters too much.

If you've ever gone to an overcrowded beach you'll find the exact same feeling.

In French there's an appropriate expression that says "too much is a lot like too little".

cheers,
