Default Classic Server Populations

Loving the fact that this server is seemingly well-populated, I'm having a blast playing what EQ was meant to be.

Just wondering if anyone recalls, on average, what the original EQ servers' populations were during the Kunark / Velious era and how it compares to Project 1999.

2000ish depending on the server. There's an old screenshot or two floating around somewhere.. we're slightly under that but you wouldn't know it, there's groups at all levels in most zones [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

People say it feels more camped because players have a better understanding on how to play more efficiently.

Something else to consider is how long the server has been running, quality of gear is also much higher making the effectiveness of the average player higher still.

If you feel like taking a journey on the wayback machine you'll be able to find several sites that had the server pops posted, last time I looked at one they were from 900 to nearly 3k and most of them were sitting around 1500 to 2000

The client the TAK Project is using has that server select.

It's likely very incompatible with P99 though sadly.

much rather have the classic "starting zones" at char select tbqh

I think Secrets had something working or really close

Light race/dark race char select zone = very immersive
