    Yeah, I've been watching the server status page, it went down, pop is Low now

    Unless you're refering to Selo's which isn't relevant since it will always be a low pop server....

    Then why are people still playing on the server? It's not down. The server select says down, but that is just not true.

    As if this can be fixed by simply programming. This issue is relieved by one, and one thing only. Money.

    DBG would rather not spending 10s of thousands of dollars to simply handle the day 1 traffic. Like ALL other EQ1 launches, literally ALL OF THEM. The next day, there is no issue. It is always that day 1 hype that draws in the players by the thousands. People taking off work, avoiding studies/family for the day 1 launch etc. After day 1, it will be just fine due to the player count severely dropping.

    DBG is no Blizzard. They're not pushing 100s of millions of Dollars every month. They can't invest a large sum for better servers simply for 1 day out of the year (the average new TLP cycle being 1 year)

    if you really want to avoid a headache, stress, anger .. Wait until the next day. Or simply do what I do and be patient knowing their servers can't handle the day 1 crowd.
