This might actually be the most concerning issue with the game right now.

I think they try to fix to many things at the same time unstead of fixing things one by one.
I would prefer to see an everyday maintenance of 2h and fixing things one by one slowly but surely unstead of 1 patch per week or per month.
By doing this, player could feel that the game is getting better and better, which is not the case right now 
They think we’re stupid or something. We already know HOW… Give people transfer tokens so they can get off their dead servers. What else could there be to discuss?
I am one of the players that are on a server that averages at around 30-40 players.
I played today with my character in her 40’s, and I became very depressed with a knot in my gut. The server is dead, no life. The world is empty…
I won’t be playing with her as it is too depressing…
She has been with me since launch, I took time with her and enjoyed the scenery, the life… Now all that beauty is wasted, the server is devoid of life…
I don’t know how else to explain it, except maybe that the situation is desperate… something needs to be done NOW, not later…
Later will be TOO LATE…
I AM DEFLATED…

Oh gosh. It’s worse than I expected. I was sure they know how for about a year or something. With 2k serwer limit and zagzylion of serwers I thought that merging them was some fundamental feature of this game. Oh my…

This is the most important issue at hand.
Please give us tokens, this is such an urgent matter.
Yep, I had a 100 member Company, a territory and a thriving community. But low server pop started people leaving and then it just kept happening. Server merges are 100% necessary at this point but no news from AGS, just talking about yet again taking away server transfer tokens because some people are abusing the system. Yet again, punishing everyone for the actions of a few… Anyway, I’m done with the game and I was one of the most invested. But low server pop makes owning a territory impossible, defending it impossible, starting wars become impossible, using the market becomes impossible, doing any elite runs becomes impossible, doing OPR becomes impossible, any open world pvp becomes basically non-existent. Game is rapidly dying, last I checked there were a grand total of 50,000 people playing the game… For a game that just came out, that is pretty much dead on arrival.

They wrote about that today in offical news when they add free transfer token ppl start creating new chars on empty servers collecting resources after 2 weeks transfered to their main server. Maybe no is not possible cuz their turned off family share, also about merge they dont know to solve problem with ppl from empty servers a lot of them has increadible amount of resources and they can just destroy server economy.
God damn, just give us another round of transfer tokens!!! My company has 5 members who will be left behind and quit playing, if we leave our dead server!!! Cmon do something.
And yes, i really like the game and dont care much about the bugs.
Like a week ago there were 3 servers with 10 active people…
Dev 1 - Sooooo guys…about merges
Dev 2 - yeah…
Dev 1 - We gotta say something about it
Dev 3 - i mean, we are working on it
Dev 1 - yeah…
Dev 2 - You know what? its done when its done
Dev 3 - Damn right.
Dev 1 - Okat but we still need to make some post about it
Dev 3 - uhhhh
Janitor - Its not ready yet, tell them we are discussing it.
Dev 2 - Good one bro, thats it. We ain’t even lying lmao
Dev 1 - sigh

This game had such a great launch but has been totally mismanaged ever since. I cannot believe they didn’t have a plan for server merges on DAY ONE. At the very least, when they started opening up dozens and dozens of new servers to handle all the traffic, they should have concurrently created a plan to merge them back together once populations settled to lower levels. When the parent Amazon Corp. gets tired of subsidizing the losses this game incurs, I’m not going to feel bad for the devs that lose their jobs. They’ve brought it on themselves by not learning the lessons of the MMO’s that went before them.
Heck, even the streamers on Twitch were all talking about server merges on Day 1 once the initial rush subsided. We knew it was inevitable. Why didn’t AGS?

Since merges don’t seem to be comming now, we just need another round of server transfer tokens for everyone who has already used their transfer. It’s not okay to leave people on dead servers, not being able to transfer. Influence on economy should be managable, especially if tokens are only distributed to people who have already used theirs and can’t transfer back and forth to gather on empty servers.

I love this game but not able to craft because we do not have T5 crafting station is killing my vibe.
Difficulty should scale with server size, it should be easyer to upgrade a town on lowpop server.
It should be the same for invasion, most of them we are less than 50 we can’t win.
If we have one OPR by day it is like chrismass day.
This must be your next big priority, it is killing your game.
Server pop should be around 500 by server - but that only my point of view.
I hope it will came fast befor it kill my motiviation
Look everyone needs to chill. Yes it is frustrating for everyone. But if they rush out server merges and it breaks something and creates even more problems you are all gonna complain about that too and it is just a cycle. Yes it is urgent and they are doing what they can. This kind of stuff takes a while to test. So go take a break, touch some grass and when it inevitably comes grind to your hearts content.
These servers with under 50-100players are likely a quarter of just bots enjoying the freedom.
They will all get a token soon so they can sell whatever there is, endgame materials/coins/mats in masses on the server they transfer to for more coin.
This is top priority! Can’t even get a group together all I have left are quests in 65 elite zones and nobody buys a thing on the market . Can’t make gold to keep houses nobody does opr so can’t get gold that way . Can’t find tier 5 craft stations. I won’t play wars or invasions because of the whole kicking people thing, though I have never been kicked there is still a point to be made.
Patch notes: New World Update 1.1.1 - News | New World
SERVERS
- Technical groundwork for server merges
Is he coming?
I would rather they would get the groundwork for server merges right before they actually do server merges…
I don’t want any mistakes… this time.
Now for the wait till they implement it.
