I saw someone comment on the race war server - just thought I'd add my
experience:

YES, there are people on there who have nothing on their mind but nuking you
as soon as you pop in a zone - it will happen and the jerk will shout and
taunt etc. But that's only rarely. More often you see how much fun EQ is
with a lightened server load. TZ and VZ cap out around 1000 - IMHO what I
think should be the Verant's goal of keeping server populations. Now if
only they would admit it... :)

Case and point: in Oasis there were 35 people. It rocked, and it was all
the better when someone was attempted to kite specs got rooted by another
player. For those of you who haven't enjoyed the "specs to beach" cries,
perhaps this isn't quite as meaningful, but to those of us who have... I was
grinning ear to ear in RL. :)

So give it a shot if you're bored (or try the test server, its around
300-450), its honestly a lot more fun that the congested 1400-1600
populations you see almost NIGHTLY now and I cringe to think what this
weekend will bring. Now all that being said, I'm a hypocrite too - I play
my "main" chars on Veeshan. Scroll to the bottom of the list when you sort
servers by number, you'll see it. :P

--More work to follow this weekend on song stacking. Again if anyone wants
to help contribute you can find a zip excel file at

Have fun,
