Overpopulated

[PabloEdvardo]

Green is severely overpopulated.

The ZEM changes along with COVID has caused not only an increase in active players, but an increase in players spreading across zones.

This means whereas before some outdoors zones were still viable, due to them being "worse xp", now people are continuing to crowd the dungeon zones, but they are crowding the outdoor zones, as well.

This is the same situation that lead to the creation of Teal in the first place, except now we have many players who have been playing here for months, and they can't find anything to do.

What can we do?

New server? Increase spawn rate?

because right now, the server does not "feel classic", and players are disincentivized from even logging in.

In classic on live we had 60+ in most popular zones. If anything, Green feels a bit empty.

Look at the zones. 50+ in SK. 30+ in UGuk. The list goes on.

There was no single classic server in existence back in live, with 1000+ active players who played the game the way we do on p99.

There is a massive difference between a ton of social players / players discovering content for the first time, and a ton of min/max players who have 50s and are lvling alts.

How many here play that also played classic, I would imagine most only have experience with Blue after it was out for years.

Game knowledge has changed everything.

Like knowing a manastone will be removed later so better get those while you can. You would think that camp would be overrun with people looking to get one.

People who don’t want Teal didn’t experience to euphoria of Teal the first time and can’t comprehend it’s glory.

Why did Teal open and then close? I came to P99 for the first time as soon as this happened and didn't know what was going on.

My intuition tells me I asked a question that is a touchy subject.

But I am new here, take it easy on me.

Also, a reply and a warm welcome would have been ideal.
