100% agree, would also love to see if some of those servers are server locked “aka fresh start servers”
No! i do not think and hope this would ever happen. What limit should this be? 3 moths, 6 months? This would completely remove any reason for some players to give this game another try.
Hate this ide, i dont like a moveing playerbase. Its also going to ruin the allready ruined market even more.
Adding new fresh servers with transfer restrictions at launch won’t do anything about queues in current servers! Most people won’t create and levelup new chars if they have even a lvl 30 char! Believe me
I dont belive you, my company and many other players are so tired of playing on a server without a gold value and where the big and rich company have unlimited amount of gold. For many of us this is what we are waiting for. A fresh start on a server where there been no gold dupe, no rich company with 5-6 shell company and 2 sister company.
With the changes to war, territory and level progression i think this ide is the best one on the list by far.
So you say you and ur company are ready to give up on ur max characters and go levelup new ones in a fresh server but when i say delete 30-40 inactive characters so they go start on a fresh server they wont play anymore? Which is it? Ppl leaving their current max characters to start fresh from lvl 1 or people not wanting to play the game fresh after their months old inactive lvl 30ish char being deleted? (Many of them don’t even remember they have such characters i swear).
As someone who started at launch and came back about a month ago with close to 300 hours played and only a level 40 ish to show for it, im frankly appalled at your recommendation.
I put that time in because i was chilling and having a good time, but fell off the game due to life happening. What youre suggesting would completely invalidate my entire character, effort and enjoyment that i was having, simply because the way i enjoy a game is different than yours, and you want to penalize me for it.
What youre recommending is frankly ill thoughtout and childish.
You are talking about two diferent things. If i have a character on lets say Barri, its not going to take up any space as long i dont play with that character.
One is the players choice and the other (that you are talking about) is the DEVS choice. Even if i choice to start fresh dont mean i never can return to my old character. Again, your ide is permanent and forced on to ppl, my is optional and provides options the players can decide themself.
Bro its not my fault that they merged all these servers together because ppl like u quit! You cant play with current queues anyway and ur are also preventing ppl like me from playing. And believe if you get into game u will understand ur level 40 character is nothing compared to max progress unless u have some tradeskills maxed. And they can’t put u in new servers because those servers must be fresh start any sort of advantage or not being transfer locked ruines new servers so fast and ppl will come here cry about it. The best solution is increasing server cap to at least 5K which 99% won’t happen now. So either they upset ppl like u by deleting ur low level characters or upset the veterans that stayed and kept the game going. If they’re wise they choose the first option or they pull a miracle and suddenly double the server caps before BS launch
Adding fresh servers will not accomplish anything, bots will be bots and no life will no life, that’s just how it is. A new server will not change that.
Yeah i live in reality. Giving ppl choice specially mmo players won’t make the right thing to happen. Most ppl simply will not give up their current characters on Barri,DT etc. These are same ppl that come on forums/reddit and ask which server is best pvp pve etc. You think they give up DT and go start levelup in new server? Some may do it but majority won’t!
Idc about their choice man they must leave and go fresh there is no choice here. I said in previous comment devs have either miraculously double server caps or decide between upsetting those people or people with 3-4k play time and alot money spent on cosmetics and transfer
As a player on one of those server i do not see this solution. It is just going to pospone the problem and make playing even harder on some type of content.
On my server its almost imposible to get lodestone or ironwood. 100 new players are just going to increase that problem.
Take the botting problem seriously is a far better ide. would make up atleast 100 players and help fixing the market. But we have all been asking for bot fix since release
You do realize that other people enjoy games differently than “omg im maxxed level there fore my playtime is more important than a casual players game time/experience” right? There are quiet a few examples of people playing MMORPGs and just fishing the day away, not even scratching max level content.
Im sorry that my life allowed me to come back into a game that i enjoyed and i was able to pick up where i started instead of having to waste away grinding back over things ive already done, to simply satisfy youre elitist attitude to game development.
As i said, i “quit” the game because my life had a bigger priority shift than playing a game, but good for you that this is that important to you.
Onto the actual issue of servers being over crowded and returning players bogging down the system. As one poster said earlier,a solution would be to just put inactive players into a suspended state if/when another merge happens, and when they finally return, they would just be placed whereever the best accessible server would be. Might require a name change but at least the character as a whole is there.
I do agree on the point of making a higher server cap, but along with that, theres technical issues i think AGS needs to resolve, as server stability seems to still be iffy on those high load days. Then theres the whole economy/profession nodes that would have to be addressed, as higher players, with rhe same level of nodes equals a scarcity issue that just makes it unfun for crafters.
Who is insulted? Where is insult? If you mean my tone im just mad because i exactly predict what will happen and can’t prevent it cuz i have no power. But i kinda feel insulted now that after spending so much time and money and support for this game i have to sit in very long queue because of ppl that kept shitting on the game all this months and now just wanna take a look. I swear if game had sub most of them won’t even bother resubbing the game after a year. They will leave again soon but AGS is insulting their loyal players because of quitters and blamers
Are there any gray cells at the author of the thread? So the AGS are to delete the characters of players who will return to the game, because there will be queues? I suggest that you give an example and delete your character.
Yeah thats what im saying if you don’t care about progress so u won’t mind ur current char being deleted go chill and casually play on a new char in fresh server and fish and quest as much as u want. And i repeat its not about what you feel etc its about ags making the hard choice. My bets are they will prefer satisfying their current loyal players not super casual that won’t touch the game in month. They probably won’t spend a penny in shop etc
What make you think players who stopped play the game at low/mid level dont care about progression ?
What if there is still queue after deleting some characters? Should they delete more? Lets say if all characters that have been inactive for one week is deleted the queue problem would go away really fast right.
But do that make it a good fix? A problem can have many solutions, not all of em are good. Many bad solution can fix a problem short term. It dont make it a good fix/solution.
I suggest you take some momentum and hit your head hard on the wall, buddy. I come from Poland, we played with the company on Polish servers that are no longer there. Due to the fact that we were working, we had a break from the game. After returning, we were thrown onto another server, international. Was our company going to lose progress because we were on a break? Now we already have a part of the GS 625, some are just finishing it, and lvl 60. Does your idea make sense to you? Do you think we would be pleased if our achievements were canceled and we wanted to start from scratch? I will skip the fact that we paid for the game, and I have 90% of the skins from the store. Do you think I would be happy if they did what you write about? I recommend you to follow the action I suggested to you at the beginning.
