Eridu to Delos Server Merge

There are no servers killed. While you may feel a warm fuzzy feeling that unless a server is 1k per hour login or above then its home whilst others are fine with Eridus as-is.

That is the point lost here. Everyone has a threshold on what they regard is comfortable and we need to get off this loop that unless we have X size server its not fun or its “dead”

Every day people still login to Eridu and they have mixed feelings about it much like Delos.

So you give tokens to Eridu,
Say nobody moves, nothing changes
Say half moves, you make a small population smaller
Say most move, you just killed Eridu

So you give tokens to Delos
Say nobody moves, nothing changes
Say half moves, now both server does not have proper 2k population,
Say most move, you killed Delos

So you give tokens to both Delos and Eridu,
Say nobody moves, nothing changes
Say they both move half, nothing changes
Say either side gain most of the population, congratulation you killed one of the server.

Pessimistic vs Optimistic always ends with a logic trap.

Say none of the above occurs.

It still comes down to consequences vs likelihood. If it all zeros out then Eridu is again 10% vs 90% and there’s your answer for the final push merge yes/no outcome. If it goes a different way, well thats the answer too on sentiment between the two servers and why diversity of choice is still valid.

We don’t know what we don’t know and all we do actually know is people are making a case to govern how others should enjoy the game.

Stop trying to tell that guy over there this is how they should play the game and focus on your own. You don’t like Eridu, move. You like Delos stay. You don’t like Delos move. and so on.

Keyword: “You”

If you are or belong to the low percentage that wants a token. Just buy it off the store if it is that urgent.

I am indifferent tbh on merge or don’t. So for me its moot but others it should be free …you give me the $29 or whatever it is to move and i’ll make sure i find people to hand it to :rofl:

I originally did transfer from Delos to Eridu for free. So…

Not true, I’ve never wanted to transfer (and couldn’t use a token if they gave us one) and only want the survival of our region’s Legacy servers which the merge would 100% make content more accessible for people on both servers. So don’t speak for me again. Again.

At this rate this server is going to die. @Delakron You said you would keep an eye out on the server. Please have a close look. its clear that the server is dying - There is literally nothing much to do on the server. At the end of the day this is an MMO. If an MMO has no people to play with people are going to get bored and leave. I think your innitial gut was right. This server was flagged to merge right at the begining because you had some criteria that was met. PLease dont apply different metrics to this region. We clearly need a merge or your slowly forcing people to quit because they are unable to play the game as its meant to be played. Please reconsider asap.

Out of interest I’ve been tracking the individual server numbers roughly for the last 3 weeks or so. AGS data would be more accurate and draw better conclusions but:

Early 5 dec - AP was peaking at 5.1k players, sutekh at 2k, Delos at 1056 at 10pm.

10 dec when trading post was disabled - AP peaked at 4.2k.

12 dec - AP peaked at 4.5k, Delos at 1160, Sutekh at 1620, Eridu 430 at 10pm.

13 Dec - AP peaked at 4.7k, Delos at 1044, Sutekh at 1732, Eridu at 463, primordial at 1463 at 10pm.

14 Dec - AP peaked at 4.2k, Delos barely scraped 1k, Sutekh 1597, Eridu 377, primordial 1195.

20 Dec - AP peaked at 4.4k, Delos at 1111, Sutekh at 1771, Eridu 358, primordial 1286.

Conclusions:
dupe/TP closure caused a lot of people to stop playing and not return.

Eridu population peaking at 350 is too low for a healthy population. Best can be said is at least it’s not at the 26 player peak servers like last year. People are either transferring independently to Delos or quitting.

Delos pop peak around 1k - will increase to approx 1.1k if a war between certain companies occurs as Sutekh players will play on Delos for a short time.

Primordial pop is falling faster than legacy player pop since Delos and Eridu now out number it when it initially hit server cap on release and had third fresh start server already merge into it. In early November Delos fell to approx 1.2-1.3k peak after fresh start and bled to about 1k while primordial is at 50% of its previous peak.

Delos and Eridu merge would create a healthy pop server, current set up is 75% of pop is on one server and 25% on another.

Sutekh is most active server on AP and is opposite of EU where legacy worlds are healthy and fresh start worlds are dying.


yeah, MMO without ‘Massive Multiplayer’ is just Ooooohhhhh…
only those who favours their company interests surely against the merge, like I said before, afraid to lose territories, afraid to compete with better players, etc
“Eridu is a special server with unique community” is such a bull if we can’t play the game’s features properly

Please merge the goddamn server, eridu is dying. it’s hard to find people to do expedition, world boss, ecr etc. @Delakron

What’s funny is half of Eridu has now already just quit or transferred to Delos so when they do come back and finally merge the server there will be even less people than if they had just merged it a month ago. When the OP of this thread posted asking for the merge to be called off the server was maxing out at 450 peak players, now it’s barely 250. Must be getting a lot of war opportunity for all those players left though.

Well it’s happening now. And by ‘now’ I mean next Wednesday.

Guys them announcing that the server merge is happening is not enough. Better Keep spamming this thread to make sure it happens this time! Last time they scheduled it apparently we wernt loud enough to say that we actually WANTED the merge so they cancelled it. Make our voices heard. We want the merge. Its clear that they can change their minds even after making a decision lol!

nah people who complained about last merge already at delos lol…so no need to worry this one getting cancelled again

Dont trust AGS on this one. Hahah. Last time it was a small handful of people and the decision changed rofl. Totally possible again

They have been very quiet, I logged into Eridu to see who was whining about the merge. You could hear the crickets. Player count was 140 yesterday, we need this merge.

“I Am INdiFfErENT WIth ThIS MErGE, bEcAuSe everYTHinG IS sO Perfect IN ERidU…
thIs serveR MergE HurTs My WEE-wEE”

Tbh I would go back to a low-pop server tomorrow if it was possible. Less lag, more nodes, fewer bots, no annoying chest runs. If you like PVP or mindlessly running the same dungeons over and over, more population is better - otherwise it’s just an irritant.

Well tbh Delos is basically dead cause like 30% of the AP player base play on it and 70% play on Sutekh so you basically have a low pop server to play on anyway.
