While I don’t discount the reports about server population I am wondering where the numbers are coming from.
steam charts since november has been about a 90k player decline LOL
Thank you.
When they disabled the api which allowed server numbers to be shown I didn’t realize Steam had a way around that block.
Valhalla is one of the most popular servers in the game. Before the mergers, I made an entirely new account just to play on this server because my old server was dying.
Now Valhalla, previously often touted as the game’s premier PVP server, is struggling to fill OPR matches. Even during primetime on Friday I had a queue of over an hour before getting into a match.
There are still a lot of players on the game and on Valhalla, but our top PVP companies transferred to Eden and now PVP is dying rapidly on our server. When I go outside Windsward north gate and see nobody standing around or dueling, I’m a bit saddened because it used to be full of people chilling out, dueling and chatting while they wait for OPR queues.

Asgard is dead? What are you on about?
You might find 0 people if you farm wolves, yes but not if you are actually doing something important. Did you miss the amount of massive PVP from Ebonscale last night? There were literally 50vs50.
Nobody is playing Dynasty because the dungeon is bad, not amazing drops, kinda bugged and heard is a bit overturned but that might be cap.
People don’t play OPR because there is nothing in it but bugs, after the Feb patch things might change but even so there is an OPR running almost all the time.
The price of certain mats got expensive because people don’t want to farm or because most of the people understood how to make gold.
People don’t register for invasions because they got used to being kicked all the time so the company’s own members get it.
Yeah, the game is in a really bad spot, Feb most likely will decide if things will go better or not but Asgard ain’t dead… there are so many things going on, so much drama, so many things behind closed doors. Hell, there’s even an alliance between 1 company of each faction to sabotage one faction from green.

what would you understand, I’m from the Bandits clan, for the covenant
I am aware of all these stories, but these are already faded echoes of those big warriors that were a month ago
you yourself said that no one goes to the dungeon because it is unsuccessful and that no one goes to the ODA because of bugs and no one is engaged in agriculture
that’s all, there is nothing to do in the game, people just come in for 40 minutes a day to recapture or capture the city and that’s it, there is nothing more to do
Steam always tracks the total numbers of people playing the game – that just comes from Steam, not from AGS. It’s Steam reporting how many Steam accounts are playing the game at any given time.
What AGS did was block the server-level info so that we can no longer see what individual servers have as population. This was inevitable, imo, given the story that they are telling, and frankly I don’t remember any other MMO ever having live data on a server by server basis of actual population being available to players.

Asgard is a people not a place.
There are Asgardians all around not just on one server.

Dead game boyz, when they merge servers (again) we will have 1 server with 2k people on it and thats it

Saturday at 1:30pm in Windsward there were maybe 15-20 people in town. Even as recently as a week or so the town typically had about 40-50 people,
It certainly saddens me as this was the first mmo I have played in years.Yet like so many game developing companies they over promised and under delivered.
Not sure there’s an mmo that appeals to me now. Nor does there seem to be one on the horizon. Certainly hoping this isn’t my last experience with an mmo.

Appreciate the suggestion.
Problem is I am into 3D more realistic looking games.

it’s 100% not that.
Servers are dead / empty / consolidated to the main 3 or 4 servers.
the lag is a direct result of incompetence by those in charge. If there were outside circumstances they’d post and jump at the chance to blame it on a DDoS attack or something but they don’t even lie about that.
They don’t care dude.

I am talking about the people that are lagging out every time they try, and connect to some servers. You don’t have to look far to find all the complaints. The intermittent lag detected issues are just one more thing.
I didn’t mention anything about an external source, besides why would anyone bother to DDoS near empty servers? It would be pointless.
I did pose the question of it being a contributing factor, and considering I know people that quit because of the issues. I would say your 100% theory doesn’t hold water, and is purely a fictitious statistic.
Ps. It’s kind of rude referring to someone you do not know as dude.
Not even the “main” servers are high anymore, its so damn sad. Give it another month and they will become low status most of the time, like the majority

I’m sorry for your loss …
I wonder what will happen if they join servers and by any chance they fix the game and players would return… can they split servers again back to what it was?

open a new one and introduce a transfer
if the game comes back to life, then the queues will not be such a big problem
