This is precisely why I am not giving up on my three box crew on Teek. With personas, free trade, and random loot available on that server, I have endless content to enjoy for many years to come, and I can do it at my pace on my schedule. I don't have to be on some raid guild's schedule because I can buy the gear I need from the bazaar and since its random loot rules, there's more than enough top tier gear to go around which keeps the prices low.
I would think that for a lot of people, Teek and Mischief are going to be their forever servers with these yearly TLP servers just being a vacation home.
They really should make it a built in thing in the game to tell you where and what the bonuses are each day. If I had known where the bonuses were, I might have taken the time to have gone there.
And... just like that, now I know where to go find out where and what the bonuses are each time I play.
This is actually a pretty interesting idea. I'm now intrigued to see what Grok can give me if I ask for a PDF of class by class best in slot gear per each expansion.

ai is a dirty liar when it comes to eq
even with very specific questions, it will just make stuff up halfway through your conversation with it
i once asked for summaries of some books, looking for sparknotes style rundowns, until something seemed fishy and i looked up the real sparknotes. the asshole ai had made up chapter names, characters, plot points - everything

It definitely has a long way to go yet, but its getting crazy good really fast. I wouldn't count it out just because of previous results. You might be surprised even on a month by month basis going forward.

Seriously. If a game takes up LESS of my time that's a good thing.
If somebody has absolutely nothing going on and is bummed that the EQ server is only taking up 50 hours of their life instead of 100 this month, it's a good indicator that it's time to go outside or find other things worth your time.

Sounds like Pharone was in an empty pick and didn't switch to a better one.
If anything, I'm surprised Oakwynd did so well. Would have expected it to be down closer to Fangbreaker territory. It wasn't preceded by a Teek that seemed to make people pretty happy, though.

Oakwynds population was pretty good until the tradeskill depot play exploit. It was cut in half within a few days of that and the just died out quick.

I asked Grok to give me a condensed version of a prompt you could use in any AI to get a similar response.

I still randomly remember my first trip to an aviak fort group in '99. A cleric friend invited me out there. Something about the long trek out there, the weird unique bird men, the cool design of this fort out in the middle of a massive zone. One of those "this game is something special" moments.

I did the same thing on my 1st EQ character, and Aviaks were my first outing with the new guild. Pure magic at the time!

I think the first holiday exp bonus for Fangbreaker is the 4th of July weekend. The resource hunter exp bonuses can be big. Combine the two and it would be an alright time to do a bunch of your leveling while you wait for level 60 Luclin

I think anyone who planed to level to 50 will be 50 well before the July 4th holiday.

It's not the biggest server but I'm definitely enjoying the random zone bonus, makes it actually worthwhile to go to zones you normally skip. And having a ton of low level zones available helps too, there's just more to do than doing the same crushbone-unrest-guk path again.
People are generally pretty helpful in helping people finding what bonus is active where, /join hotzone

The "this game is something" moment for me was walking around Qeynos, stumbling on the harbor right when a boat was coming in. It was also pouring rain at the time. Up to that point the only 3D game I'd even played was Mario 64, making it even more stunning to inhabit EQ.
I think that was back when my brain still properly produced dopamine because it's been like 17 years since anything made me as excited as that boat did.
