I assume they all leave early today for holiday weekend?

(Or do the people in charge of that sort of thing tend to stay on weekends)?

If they were to open a second server, do you think it'd eventually suffer like Vulak is now and be low population?

I mean by UF/HoT almost any server is going to be dead. Fippy has just as many raiding guilds as most servers do/did in HoT, except they're all paying $15.00 for it.

The reason Vulak had such severe population problems is because of the guilds there. The top guild dictates the nature of the servers community. If you harass and hack and steamroll everyone every chance you get for no reason and GM's never step in then people quit and your server becomes a ghost town.

If a second server opens up and the top guild helps nurture an actual community rather than trying to "dominate" people I would expect it to have a much healthier population than Vulak did.

Fine line. I do agree with you, but how do you foster that on a server like this, where pras pixels, and sharing? wtf? Noo? We still have mains that need that Trak BP! F that! we are better! GIMME!

It seems to go downhill quick.

I haven't kept up and just saw this opened up yesterday. Is this time locked or server has to kill X to unlock the next expansion or what?

Honestly if I were leading the top guild I'd do FFA for the first three months of every expansion and then start rotating mobs with other competitive guilds after that point. Not every mob all at once but start incorporating more and more. People see content, you still get the majority of the loot, enjoy competitive EQ and foster good will during the rotation periods as well.

I was fully involved with many of the classic-luclin stunts EoE pulled, and will fully admit I had fun "being #1", but your world sounds cooler.

Fippy had some of the worst most aggressive cockblocking I have ever seen. The GMs spawned a emp ssra for citizen because of the shit that went down involving that whole ordeal. I watched people train vindicater on us while we were killing KT. TL box armies that would take out kunark dragons at 4am. It was insane.

Supposedly they upped the server to "well over 4k" characters. Still full...still no second server. They are going to end up waiting until after the weekend and ruining both servers.
