Got the game, some more questionsFollow

#1 Mar 05 2007 at 12:37 PM Rating: Decent
about a week ago i asked what expansion i should buy and stuff and today i went out and got everquest titanium and am also gonna to purchase serpents spine tonight, now I have been watching these forums recently and one topic was talking about several servers getting lower populations by the week. Now i want to know what server still has a decent population or guilds that are still willing to take new people in? I might be able to get online tonight so I would appreciate the help thanks.

As has been mentioned before by others, the best way to get a good feel for a server population is to create toons on several servers, and go to POK or the guild lobby and see how many people are on each server at a set time (say 9pm EST).

I reside on Maelin, and I know there are still lots of active guilds on the server. Go look on the guild lobby boards, and you can see who is recruiting.

I'm thinking of doing progression server, don't know if it's busy or not, otherwise I'll just go back to Stromm. I'll post here what I did, and if you all need help, and are on Stromm, you can send a PM to Fortrue.

Friends > server population.
You will enjoy the game much more with people you know.
I think I would rather have a server with 5 people that were my friends than a full one with people I didn't. Of course I have made many friends but starting out it helps a great deal to be able to talk in Real Life.

Than again how many people in real life still play EQ? As opposed to WoW

Seeing as Sony won't release any information about subscribers (and, to be honest, I can't say i blame them) I would hazard a guess at around 40-60k Subscribers. WoW, I believe has 8 Million?

According to the International Programs Center, U.S. Bureau of the Census, the total population of the World, projected to 03/06/07 at 20:22 GMT (EST+5) is 6,580,557,430.

I thought the poster said he had RL friends that played EQ. I would certainly play on there server and not be to concerned about the health of other servers.

True, I guess playing with friends would be tons of fun!
