What was the average server population in EQ? This is not gonna feel classic if its overcrowded. Classic EQ had multiple severs, so maybe they need to keep multiple servers.

Also the irony of you guys that bitched about empty lower level zones to cause this complaining about about somebody else not getting what they wanted handed to them.

Hope those Oasis groups are really sweet.
I mean listen man don't lump me in with everyone else I just started on Teal a week ago. And I was already being told by high level guildies some camps were called out days in advance. That doesn't sound "fun" to me. That's the kinda toxic shit that ruins servers.

I mean i kinda think this can be good i know ZEMs are not as good in other zones but SOL B was pretty empty all the time.. just the fGs were being done... there is still a lot of areas to hunt.. and now people will be able to get in grps in other spots..

I take it you'll be quitting then.

Also doesn't staff bashing get you a ban according to the forum rules.
Yeah man, really enjoyed the idea of competing against 100-150 people for classic dragons, that's not so bad. 300-400? no thanks. If it was a pvp server it might actually be fun, but I would actually like to be able to play the game instead of spending half my time watching others play.

What, like lower level camps? Or high level farming camps? Poopsock camps are one thing, but there shouldn't be much of that for low level leveling camps.

Depended on the server, but big ones like Fennin Ro had over 2k (I remember over 3k a few times) in vanilla era:

Im glad im not on Fennin Ro.
I saw 2100 people on it last weekend.
Man thats gotta fucking suck.
I mean its the same thing on my server as well, just not as bad. 1800
is a typical number on Bristlebain evenings.

A merged Green/Teal is still gonna be pretty low-pop for Classic.

Sounds like Teal has more people than Green. Even though the Server population counts would dispute that. Seems like guilds will have to work out rotations and share the pixels like we all did back in the day. Back in the day there was healthy competition but often deals were worked out -- this gimme gimme gimme attitude has just seeped into our brains because that's how the world we live in outside of EQ for the last 10 years. Everything is about instant gratification in our society, you're just assuming your precious MMO should follow quit or else you'll throw a tantrum

These servers are extremely top heavy compared to classic so most of what you're saying is completely moot.

Also have you actually met these Seal Team people?
