Really? When do you log on?
My level 20 group logged on Solusek RO Saturday afternoon to over 2000
players and couldn't find anywhere to go (problems I do NOT have with
singletons. Or lower level characters. Its trying to get more than one
into a pickup group that is harder) We rescheduled for 1a Saturday
night/Sunday
morning. ANd there were 1700 on when we logged on.

I regularly have to scroll down to find Solusek Ro -- as it is usually one
of the last third of the most crowded servers when I am logging on, usually
beyond the end of the screen. Sometimes at the bottom of the server
select screen.

Sunday afternoon *seemed* to be better. Though I had a net 0-loss,0-gain
after a pickup group in Mistmoore (the first time Anna and I were in a
full pickup group. Though it was okay. I blame my two deaths more on
trains and the nature of the dungeon. Want to go back and fight more there!)

>The problem, in my opinion, is that we have too many high level players.
>After the "split" I can now log in to a 1200 person server (well within

Again, what time are you logging in? It was at 1400 fairly late SUnday
night when I was doing a /who all count

We do seem to have a LOT of high levels, though I don't know much about
the politics of that.

My characters are 20, 15, 14, and 4...

>Also, the whole server split makes me sad. I lost a lot of good friends
>even moving 200 people. I suppose that's the way it goes
>though................

Lots of people in my guild say the same. However, I didn't really
know any of the people they are mourning so it didn't affect
me the same as, say, when Mature sold her account. Windsong
and Mature used to travel together all the time. Mature
gave Faerain some of the equipment she still wears.

[When I went and trained tracking this weekend? The first
thing I told my friend, who plays windsong, was "Now I
can help you and Mature track down that Lion you were looking
for -- One of my first memories is the two of them running through
High Hold looking for the lion with the LionHide Backpack]
