ty sir thats true
agree
Half full invasions and not getting a single outpost rush at the busiest time of day is part of that “unique server” that the OP and others who convinced AGS to not merge must have wanted.

An interesting effect of paid transfers plus constantly dwindling player base resulting in merges.
None of this – not even the need for transfers or low-pop server merges – would be necessary at all if the PvP-based territory control system were simply deleted.
Not only would it solve a lot of issues but it would close a lot of exploits. Shell companies and the issues they caused would never even have been a thing.
AGS, stop trying to save OWPVP and player-controlled territories. It was a disaster from the start and continues to ruin New World in so many ways.

So…seems we were all wrong. Eridu was PUMPING last night. 450 players at peak time on a weekend while an event is on. If they merged into Delos there would be nothing but Queues. I’m so glad me and my best friend get to kill the winter warrior as a duo. It’s such a nice fun community challenge. Also invasions with only 20 people is really hard pve content i enjoy. M10’s are just so easy these days. Hooray to everyone on Eridu, we showed em!

Just merge eridu can barely fill invasions

Eridu can fill invasions better than Delos, despite having a smaller population.

22 people vs 21 people isn’t much a flex though.
You do realise Amazon has one of the biggest cloud hosting service offerings in the world and the actual cost would literally be a rounding error at most on costings. I think my AWS cloud account probably costs more to run than Eridu Server 
Sometimes people’s agendas in this topic crack me up. They get so worked up because a merge somehow is that important to determine if everyone is having fun or isn’t.
I do want AGS to offer free transfer between Eridu or Delos to really see where both servers population actually literally self selects literally. (Sorry your use of the adverb Literally … well triggered me literally) 
Every New World world is at least 11 C5.2xlarge Instances (as of 2021 and they’ve likely upgraded instance types since).
So roughly 3k USD monthly “retail” costs for if you and I were to buy the hosting but internal costing would be negligible / write off.
I’m assuming Amazon works much like Microsoft (well given most of microsoftees work there now lol) when we had Azure hosting for situations like this it was internal cost centre that ultimately meant nothing to us given most of the cloud hosting world-wide utilization availability were quite low anyway - ie to layman view “we were using idle instances the whole time”.
Worst case $0-5k per month to keep 400-600 people using a game. (Note: AGS has a $500m a year budget)
I have a Master Data Management solution in EC2 using Kubernetes which hits around $2k a month for testing …so i wasn’t far off tbh haha.
Well hopefully soon they will be filling Delos invasions
Eventually, but the Delos companies are gonna need to give people from Eridu an incentive to participate, because they are not as invested in Delos regions or companies.
If AGS stops delaying and ever puts in the war roster changes, it should be fine. the biggest problem is no matter where you war now you’re fighting the same sweaty mercs. map will be big enough for everyone with roster changes and war cooldowns

Silly decision - the servers need to merge. Eridu is dead since FS servers. All you’ve done is put off the inevitable for a while. That’s cool I’ll keep playing on Sudekh until the Eridu servers merge. Enjoy the peace and quite on Eridu lol.

until they decide to merge all servers into delos.
Sad that some whiners make other eridu players gotta transfer by themselves to escape the death of the server
The only reason Eridu people are complaining (those in favour of the merge) is that they don’t get a free token to transfer off Delos again. I find it a bit hypocritical to see that these people want more people on a server for content, but are also looking to transfer off populated worlds any chance they want.

I don’t get the sense of entitlement in the thread. It screams of “you have to play it my way or gtfo” attitudes.
Again easiest solution to this entire thing is AGS give all AP folks a free Character Transfer credit. Then in FSS they can exchange servers with one another in that particular segment and then legacy can exchange with each other within our segment.
Then if people leave Delos to come to Eridu and then Eridu leave to Delos, that would give a very specific indication on exactly where people want to be and why.
If after that we have a 10% Eridu and 90% delos - well no brainer. If however it goes to a 50/50 or something like that… well again you also have an answer where people don’t all agree a merge is good or bad.
The rest is just “you have to play my way or i’ll pack up my toys and go home”.
No more free tokens, it only kills more servers than it saves
