Excited for blue, when green drops =)

[Krone90]

Since iv done the whole live server thing/ timeline thing when i was little and EQ first came out, and then played until dung of Norrath,.... iv seen the mad rush before( a beloved memory of mine) i'm excited to stick with blue, i hope it gets a more layback feel when green drops, since i mainly solo i'm super excited for the pop to decrease on blue [You must be logged in to view images.

I dont think it will work that way OP

Green's launch will also bring new and old players to blue

Blue gonna be a ghost town IMO.

In every other game that adds seasonal play the permanent shard always empties out real quick.

My guess is it'll be nothing but the same four raiding guilds, and lonely soloers like OP.

Do those games have three and a half year seasons and involve tying both hands behind your back at the beginning?

The problem is that there isn't that much to do in Classic. A lot of people won't roam around to explore the world, because they already did that. For most of them there is nothing new to discover. Without that the way to 50 isn't that long. Will people really play lots of alts to 50 to equip them with more or less the same gear or will they return to Blue for most of their time?

Things take longer in EQ.

Wife and I will likely dork around on "green" some, but we're not about to abandon our regular characters. We'll simply treat Blue and Green like different games, maybe feel like one today, the other next time, etc.

Right there with ya OP. It will be antisocial solo’ers like us who end up populating the server. Who knows, maybe we’ll group up sometime.
There’s been lots of fear mongering from concerned blue players about the lack of population. When I log on in the early mornings, there’s about 350 others online. In my opinion, that’s the perfect amount of players. When it’s peak, there are 1200+ online.
Personally, I’m looking forward to a hamstringed population on blue, perhaps I’ll even be able to get a camp or two!

Hah

Don't see 1200 much anymore, primetime and an xp bonus, the count is 842 as of this post. Which isn't bad, but a solid dip in numbers from earlier this year.
