Has your company considered leaving? That would help us out greatly and you could find a server with less pop and more resources if thats what you’re after. That would be so helpful

You didn’t do your homework and based the decision off of partial info. Sucks that that happened. Also Amazon needs some kind of notification when they’re about to lock a server. Although there are good indicators.
Why did the 15 of you not all do it at the same time in a coordinated attack then? You know servers lock when tehy become full and you don’t kno wwhen it will happen. Seems just like poor planning to tell some to head over but some were gonig to when they felt like it.
I don’t think you understand what it really means when a server is full, it’s not just about peak concurrent players. There are people with short play times, and long play times. Some overlap and some don’t.
What i DO know is, a lot of the larger companies left our server to jump into Orun thinking it would be better because it was near cap daily. And now a lot of them are trying to come back because it’s not nearly what they thought it was. OPR for instance on our server is back to back and everyone can get in. But on Orun you have so many people trying to get in, that you have to wait your turn. Resources are heavily contested and barren, and the lag is unbearable.
All of that, and there isn’t some mystical “open world pvp” revolution to get in on to make up for it like they thought there would be. I get that you might want to be on a scene server or feel like capped is healthy, but it’s really not. There are people trying to get off now for those reasons, and if that’s your bread and butter more power to you. But a lot of people are just wanting you to understand how it’s not better.
Edit: I forgot to mention the Que times can exceed 2Hrs to get in, that in and of itself is not great. And it’s made worse because people will use methods to prevent logging out when they are AFK which further increases the problem.
My server will not recover. I’ve been standing in Everfall for 2 hours and have seen a max of 4 people.
I do not care about que times. I usually play after work and I can remote desktop to my home computer from my phone and join the que. I wouldn’t be bothered one bit.
My servers peak was 201 players. Its the 4th smallest server. When my original server merged into this one we had over 1000 on at peak. I am supposed to trust going to a server with similar or less peaks will have a different result? Should I waste a 1 time use, non-refundable transfer token on a server that might fail? Or should I go to a high population server where a lot of people are transferring to with their only token and can’t leave?
I don’t understand anyone’s counter argument here. If we waited days apart thats on us. But if your talking minutes apart locks us out, that’s malarky .
That would be an amazing offer but I prefer to work for what I get. thanks for the sentiment though. I think you are mad actual pvpers are coming to your server and you are afraid to lose your precious everfall. pathetic. Why else would you waste time posting irrelevant information on my post?
You all are bullying this guy for not wanting to sit on a dead 200-300 pop server. You are what’s wrong with the game. People who are content playing with 1k players on a huge map with a ton of resources, you are the problem. people play MMO’s because they are MASSIVELY, MULTIPLAYER. If OP can’t get in a OPR game of course they want to get on a big popular server. There’s no chance he’d pick the 1k MAX pop server over the 2k full server.

We’re not. Reading is essential.
Love it when people respond to what they feel like is being said instead of wat they’re actually being told.
Also cap isn’t healthy. It’s the cap, there’s a difference. Healthy is like 1300-1500

That is very true if he wanted to lock the server which is what happened.
Then there are 7 servers in ALL of New World that would be considered healthy. That’s a major problem right there…
you’re not wrong. What I mean by healthy though is that lag is minimal and it “feels” like an mmo as in towns bustling with people and there are things happening basically everywhere you go. servers with like 600-1000 still feel fine. They just dont have that “massive” feel. which im fine with personally.
really it comes down to the tokens being unobtainable.
yeah if a popular server gets locked then it sucks. big time for anyone trying to get in on what would be a healthy community
But in the case like this
having free/purchased/more tokens would at least let his entire group decide to move out to a lower mid population server.
the people getting sick of dumpster wars on orun or cos could also chose to leave and make a diffrent home
Yes there are economic implications as usually when a full company moves they will first scout out a new server, buy up EVERYTHING in the existing server and mule it all out.
but those fluctuates happen all the time and it evens out in the end.
honestly 1 per month server transfer tokens. or just let people purchase it. should be fine.
for this case his crew can at the least return to their original servers or try a diffrent server that has a bigger population.
dead and lower pop server people that are sick of stuff can also chose to move into a healther one so we can have more than 7 total healthy server… maybe 9 or 10. (still not good)

You got caught with your hand in the cookie jar. Should have stayed still and waited for the merges to shake out. Transfer tokens are ruining AGS ability to fix the populations.
I had people at their witts end ready to quit my server was so dead. I was afraid we would fall apart and just start playing other games. We had to take a leap of faith. Unfortunately, we put our faith into the wrong thing.
I completely agree with this statement. If free-range transferring isn’t possible, a monthly token would help this game tremendously. That would fix so many problems and issues people have with the game. It would also help ensure servers all keep the same relative prices.
Thank you for your comment. I have honestly been shocked at the backlashed I received for wanting to have a better game experience for my friends and I.
This is kind of ironic to me because there are many in CoS (see other posts) that would really love it if people(such as yourself) would actually stop trying to get in because they don’t like Q’s and they don’t like how laggy it is being on a full server, but here you are wanting your enjoyment at the expense of others I guess.
They have the ability to leave do they not? Its not locked preventing them from leaving? If they don’t want to be in a high population world they can move servers. You are using a strawman’s argument.
It’s like driving a car in the passing lane, if you don’t want people lining up behind you and honking at you, move out of the way. Right now i’m being blocked from even entering the passing lane.
perhaps they dont have a token 
You caused the traffic jam, apparently.
Everyone was given a token from the 15th to the 22nd. there is absolutely no reason why someone who has been on castle of steel for a while does not have a token.
And no I didn’t cause the traffic jam, its people that aren’t driving the speed limit (the people you say who do not like such large population)
