They had really good chance with brimstone. Numbers are down, people left. Everyone knows what problems there are.
No matter free weekend, it will not bring 800 players on my server.
Problems are that they do not see the raids, cross server gameplay and weapons balance yet,
Have faith. And yes, they should merge if this weekend the numbers do not go up by much.
as you said man its christmas right ?
ppl are going for vacations and stuff
or spending their time with their families instead of playing games
most of the ppl playing NW are casual players
and casual players do other stuff instead of playing game…

He aint lol
Wow all casual farmers, that enjoying no competition when farming talking. You clearly have no idea what is it like to play on low pop servers,
- Where you want to go and craft stuff you have to do it in 6 different towns,
- When you worked your butt off to get all crafts, and cant craft anything because towns dont have any buffs.
- Even when you craft something, there is nobody to buy anything
- When you want to do mutations, but its almost impossible to find anybody to run with
- When game is built around chest runs, and you can get enough ppl to do chest run, because you missed that one big zerk at 6pm when everyone is doing it
Any more, my “casual” players? Casual players are hurt the most on the low pop servers buddy, wake up
or spending their time with their families instead of playing games
What a statement that is absolutely not true 
Such a weak justification. Our server used to have 1500 peak time during Brim release, suddenly its ghost town. Just like everybody else, just like all fresh start servers, people left the game for various reasons.
for this
i have used 2 free trasnfer tokens because of low pop
both times i trasferred my server population was 100+
so dont cry about your low pop to me until you get 100- players in your server and still play in that server…
chhers
They should have never released brimstone without having content updates ready to release in the following couple months. You would think AGS was a small indy company with how slow they release content. The roadmap is a joke.

At least Legacy players have the option to transfer their character to a higher populated server although it is a bad excuse and I’d rather see mergers happen. The fresh server (mostly EU) communities however are bound to die. Dead servers, especially on locked Fresh makes more people give up and quit.
The sweetspot they should be aiming to keep servers at is 1400-2200 players during the evenings. The shitty excuse a loud minority has come up with (see Eridu) should never be taken into consideration when merging servers. Servers needs a healthy population for features like PvP, recruitment and group finder etc. to work.
Buddy, i have over 2,5k hours in this game. I have outlived 2 dead servers myself.
Someone posted this in another thread. The holidays aren’t the issue.

Nah man, game numbers go up during the holidays because people have free time.
Christmas time is the biggest season of the year for game companies. Very easy to see from player numbers & financials.

Player base will continue to drive bomb now players have realised that there will be no pvp updates next year
there is a " pLaYeR bAsE"
and there is " Player Base"
from my experience most of the ppl i know in NW who is playing the game are 25+
though around my friends youngest one is 25 while avarage age is 35 -40
kids play game whenever…
adults have other things to do… so they are not as consistent…
looks like we started around same time 2,6k+ on me
good for you not giving up ^^
I don’t where you’re from but people usually go on vacations in summer, winter is the time of the year where there is absolutely nothing to do
they always take action when it’s too late, that will never change.
Theres alot of dead servers in ALL regions, ags really needs to merge more aggressively
Bruh play on a dead server Farm ori and Ironwood like a farming bot then Server transfer, What is it with EU playerbase always crying for Hand outs.
There’s a Reason most these servers only have 200 players in them our Seer FSS server got merged with a dead server and we all knew it was dead because a really toxic Legacy server guild transferred onto their from one of the more populated FSS while it was still open they were all overgeared and made everyone quit from their abusive behaviour.
Server mergers are not the answer the mergers take two dead servers and put them together and people quit because now you have 2 or 3 overly toxic communities and the remainder who stayed get fed up then you end up with another dead server. and then you end up repeating the process a few months down the line.
Just because thats what would you do, doesnt mean everyone will. I can same to all PVPers. just go and play OPR and 3v3 for next a half a year, why keep crying there is no PVP content.
you should listen to these toxic players and just let them play alone, let mr.mcbridelewis waste his life farming useless stuff on an empty server that no one cares about. devs obviously don’t care about the game. stop wasting your time with a game that doesn’t bring you joy.
