I am a Artemis guy

but I always got opr and m10s to do
that’s enough
enjoy it 
Its funny because I’m from Artemis too, and there is no playable pvp content before 5-6PM and after 12pm …

well that’s weird 
due to my time zone, I’m active from 1:00PM to 6:00PM (CET) and able to join some OPR
maybe you can pay attention to chat channels ?
You actually can if u wait an hour for 1 opr. Not good
Ok then
let’s wish another merge
Its very risky to do another merge on fresh servers specially because u cant transfer away from fresh servers.
When they will release ‘balance patch’ or any major patch on fresh servers we will stay on 1h+ queue if we are lucky or even 10h+ queue.

Combat changes will bring back players COPIUM

I fully agree with this.
You need to consider other factors like the new harry potter game releasing etc. I think it needs to get a lot worse before considering merges again.

Hogwarts has swimming to !!!
What are you talking about? The servers were already in that state for at least 2 weeks
It was peaking at 1200 players, then at 1100, then at 900, now it’s peaking at 600-800, some teenagers movie game has nothing to do with that, peak hours only last for 2 hours, the rest of the days the population is below 600, making it impossible to sell or find lobbies unless you have friends who haven’t left yet.
It’s an MMO, which stands for Massively Multiplayer Online yet there are more people on Warhammer private servers than on those servers.
So many saboteurs in this forum.
It needs to get a lot worse
Why? You get turned on by it or something? What would you want people suffering?
A server is already quite dead with only 1400 players, 600 is literally a dead server, considering there are TONS of bots, afk players and war loggers who clearly disconnect after wars are over.
I’m extremely happy that AGS has already confirmed new merges for Fresh Start, I seriously hope they never take advice from any of you two.
just force players to leave they’ll comeback I’m sure
I have no words.

This is why I went back to Barri, even before the last merges. If I wait 5 mins for OPR, I start getting pissed.
Artemis is completly dead outside wars, literally made me quit fs and go back to Barri where its like 10 times more active pvp wise, and its been like that for at least a month

I feel my reasons were made obvious in my previous post. I will however start by saying I totally agree that a server with 600 people is fairly dead. Servers are obviously going to have peaks and troughs in player numbers.
I feel like we should be peaking above 1500 on a daily basis and we aren’t currently so yes it would be nice to fix that.
Currently they’re peaking at around 1k on average. I’m on Kronos which was at 1200 last night when I checked. So if we merged 2 of those servers we would be getting close to cap of 2500 at peak times. So what happens when a major patch drops and all those characters that are dormant all try to come online… I want to play the game and not sit in a queue.
I’m not trying to be a saboteur and I’m sorry if I seemed that way. I genuinely love this game but I never want to get home and not be able to play.
Ultimately the issue is AGS servers can only take 2500 people and I wish they could take double that and keep a healthy population of 3000+ people.

They weren’t peaking around 1k on average before the update, a new update was released and 1k was the maximum it could achieve now it’ll just go down, Kronos, your server, is the one doing better with 1200 peaks, that doesn’t mean others shouldn’t get a merge… every day this game loses players, I’d even say every hour.
Artemis needs to merge with Crassus.

Like December update? Like the Leaderboards update? Those players are NOT coming back, that’s why AGS has already confirmed NEW merges, that’s why 3 different FSS merges have been done since the release of FSS, even AGS know those players are not coming back, even I started deleting them from my friend list, I’m just discussing your stance on this, because merges are indeed COMING, it was shortly announced after the Leaderboards PTR or a bit before.

When you expect the population to be a complete wasteland before merging considering a huge chunk of the active playerbase are bots, war loggers or afk crafters/tp players you do come out as a saboteur, no server should ever drop below 1500, if there’s a big update then get in the queue, like it’s done in every game, I’ve been inside 18k queues and waited to get in, those queues will never happen in NW.
Warhammer Online RoR has more active players during peak than my server, that’s not normal, when even Ragnarok Online private servers or WoW fully PvP private servers have more active players than my server in New World.
Barri and Nysa a month ago were always at 2200-2400 active players, the game is simply bleeding players everywhere and now Barri is at 1800 and Nysa at 2100, but still, I’m sure people had to wait in queues in those servers and there were happy to do so knowing their server is healthy and full of people to do content with.

Definitely, merges are healthier for the game as it needs a decent population for a world to survive. The lower the population gets, the more people decide to leave because of the population. Hoping that some balance changes will suddenly double populations in a short period while doing nothing else is a recipe for disaster.

I’ve been through 3 or 4 server merges. I think New World is so niche that only a select few enjoy this type of niche game. Most Grinder MMOs fans will go to BDO. Most PvE MMO fans will go to either FFXIV, WoW, or GW2. Most PvP MMO fans will go to either Eve Online, Albion, GW2, or BDO. New World is pretty much a special MMO that only a special type of MMO player will consistently enjoy. Means very low population counts.
Honestly AGS should start tooling New World with low population activity in mind. Maybe AGS can put NPC AIs for PvE expeditions and mutations so people can do the content even when there is very few players online. Far as PvP goes, maybe AGS should make Open AI bots populate low populated PvP modes. With the exception of wars, wars should always be 100% live players.
yeah replace the players with AI , problem solved u rite
10h+ queue
AHAHAHAHAH
u serious?
3.5 players will return after balance patch, it’s a joke
We need merge for NA East to
