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.

That's a gross term. It shouldn't even be a term. The fact it's a term and people consider that normal is incredibly sad.

Anyone have an estimate of when the servers will be back up?

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



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

This is why a merge makes sense to me, classic population was almost always > 2000 on my server.

In classic days Cazic Thule was a hot zone camped for xp and loot, nowadays on green it's empty except the rubi camps. Sol A is a bit more active on Green but still far below classic utilization. Highpass hold almost never has a gnoll group, and rarely orc groups.

These are off the top of my head.

Nice quote! I always remember saryrn being like 1500-1600 during kunark as one of the smallest servers, but I wasn't around during classic to remember the server select #s then.

if you wanna raid go to blue, now blue has a reason to exist, green is for being in a full server with lots of people to group with , and blue is if you just wanna wait for batphone and be a tunnel rat

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.

In the first 1/2 of the year 2000, the lowest populations servers were the Zeks, with usually Vallon Zek being at the bottom, Tallon Zek above it, and Rallos Zek above that, or there were sometimes 1 to 3 servers between TZ and RZ. The population of these servers in the months before Kunark ranged from 600ish range in offtimes to well over 1100-1200 at peak.

During the same time, the top servers, which were most of the older servers, occasionally hit 2000 at peak, but I don't remember any of the top 1/2 of the servers every dropping below 1000 people in offtimes.

The thing was, though, people took forever to level. I didn't play in beta and my first char was a bard (granted, hybrid pentalty and I explored a lot) and it took me months to even get to 30.

I started a druid on Teal on Dec 2 and I'm about to ding 41 and I've done a fair amount of farming. We just know how to play the game better now.

People assist, don't break mezzes, play their classes well - I'm constantly amazed at situations in groups where we survive without a death which would have spelled 6 deaths and a nasty CR in 2000.

So I think comparing 1999-2000 server populations is really a non sequitur.

Now I wanna make a guild for alts who exclusively form groups to level up in the zones that are all still 90% empty while everyone else is packing 100 deep in HHK and upper guk and complaining about it.

I would join that guild.

1200-1500 on Karana.

My only complaint is that we did not get advanced warning.

Speaking from Teal: I am a groupmaker. If I'm LFG, I'm putting together groups. The options were very low as a 14-24 level. Many groups would have multiples of the same class. I'm talking 3 shamans, 2 sks, 1 enchanter kind of situations. They were definitely doable but it felt a little ridiculous.
