Population was about 3100 at 12am and 2550 at 3am est. These are all pretty normal numbers for opening night of a new TLP.

OOT Goblins is prob the most boring camp in all of eq.

Undead tower is terrible for experience, just terrible.

Getting harder to remember what happened on what server at this point... they all kind of blend together.

Am I remembering correct that Yelinak was 1 month classic 2 months Kunark. Where as Oakwynd will be classic 2 months and kunark 2 months.

Oakwynd hype seems to be building up decent, more than I saw for Yelinak atleast and it turned out ok. I still stick to my thought that oakwynd will be more popular than Yelinak but less than Mischief. This assumes that FTE is not a complete disaster.

I think FTE could be ok if done right. But they really shot themselves in the foot by puting it on test server 6 days before it was to be released. A major mechanic like this needed a month or so a at a minimum to work the small little details out and even then there would be issues that would...

To old to eat Taco Bell but defiantly down for some Chicfila if I want some waffle fries or Bojanles of I want some spicy chicken.

Its clear that free trade causes an issue with every other non free trade server. The further we get away from Mischief the less the addiction of the free trade will hold. Allowing another free trade servers will just renew that addiction. IMO they should never ever do another free trade...

I am not sure Mischief brought so much more it was worth it for them though. I mean yes it brought more players but not a massive amount more than just a normal TLP. I estimate is had about 15% more players on average than just plain old Yelinak.

I am starting to think they wont ever do another Mischief 2.0 because of all the exploits it brought. Its been the most exploited server in a long long time and its still coming up with new ones weekly.

If they wanted people to play more chars then they should have made some sort of char linking mechanic across accounts. This way they could acutally use the bonuses and DB would benifit from more people actually paying for more accounts.

One of the main issues is they only do TLPs once a year. They should do one every 6 months. This way people dont put so much hope into a single yearly TLP. Also they need to always have a server in classic to pop era which is by far the most popular time frame.

I think alot will become more clear once fte is on test next week and we can see how it actually works vs how its been explained to the PR people.

With the changes, as long as FTE is not horribly buggy I am thinking now this server will only be slightly behind Mischief in average population to planes of power.

They should disable the /yell command on all raid targets also....

I always laugh when people try and stream EQ1 on twitch and get maybe 100 viewers on a good night.

I expect them to throw some kind of bone to help ease the AE Plers outcry. But I don't see them abandoning the FTE thing.

There are several people planning to do this as a way to say they hate FTE. IMO they will suspend people caught doing this like holding NPCs hostage and locked. They should go pretty hard with 30 day suspensions early on of players caught doing this to stop it before it gets started.

Considering these type of large boxers have been on every server since Agnarr I would see no reason to inflate numbers to make any server look better than another. Plus these numbers are not wildly different per server. Most servers are only 10-20% better or worse than another server. Most...

What server do you think didnt have that?

General chat is still a decent accurate way to get how many people play on a server. The number of people who leave general chat across all servers should be similar. Example if 20% of people leave general chats then they will do so on every server they play. This means the numbers from general...

Thats defiantly going to suck for getting early faction for Tormax head turnins for yelinak.

The one great thing Vaniki did, even though it was a total failure in population terms, is that it kept most of the regular tlp toxic players off Yelinak. Since there is only one server this time around those people will surely infest the new server as normal causing more issues than happened on...

I am sure there will be people who in the begining are going to go around and do this but I really doubt it will last long. Of course alot depends on the small details on how it works and we wont really know until the server is out but I still stick to my prediction that the server will be more...

Money on what? that the new server avg max pop will be higher than Yelinak?

I guess it depends on what you mean by die. Yelinak held a decent player average every expansion. This new server will have a higher population on average than Yelinak for each expansion because of three main reasons. One is the weird expansion bonuses, most casuals seem happy with it. Two is...

When there is money involved I am sure the professional AE Plers will find a way.

If the mob is not tagged to you how would you hold aggro though?

It would make a lot of sense to just disable it inside DZs since it could be exploited alot easier there. OW on the other hand could be interesting. You could park your CH rotation under Yelinak outside of the FTE raid and never take an AE, or get aggro or take a faction hit.

Not sure the encounter locking will be nearly as big of a deal as people think.

I get the feeling they really really want to try the system they announced though since they put a lot of effort into it already. If they just change the server to FV loot and left the encounter locking I think most people would just accept it at that point.

Not trying to say its popular. I would rate is a 3.5 of 10 right now from people I talked with. 1 being least popular and 10 being most.

Not just going by forums post. People almost never post positive messages. I am going by post and people I have talked with. Personally I am neutral on the idea myself. I do see alot of potential problems but I dont think it will be as big of a deal as people think. It will mess with AE Plers...

The basic consensus seems to be Legacy chars - Neutral Server wide bonuses - Positive Encounter locking - Mixed leaning negative

This is one reason I wish they would do 2 TLPs a year separated by about 6 months apart. This way they dont have to worry so much about rulesets as long as they are not terrible aka Vaniki.

I dont think DB ever wanted to do a FV TLP and never want to again.

Any pvp ruleset would have been far worse... This server will be more popular than Yelinak but less than Mischief. I suspect the event locking may be scraped before launch BUT I get the sense they are really happy about it and want to try it.

This is why they should not have done FV rule sets ever... every server will suck compared to it and its like getting someone off crack almost impossible. Its going to take years to get people to forget about Mischief.

I see this server as being slightly more popular than yelinak but less popular than mischief.
