Eden had the #1 population of US servers at one point, the server was kept locked until the player base was either killed off or allowed to transfer off with tokens, only till after the player base dwindled to below 500 players did they unlock the server leaving the rest of the players that didn’t make it to orun and other mega servers wondering what to do, now eden peaking at 200 players? That once beautiful server destroyed because of mismanagement of locking servers. Please do not kill Orun now peaking at 1300 players? I understand players will come back with updates but I AS A PLAYER THAT ACTUALLY PLAYS YOUR GAME STILL EVERYDAY (sometimes idk why) don’t want to play a half dead game for 3-4 weeks out of the month only to be waiting for the player base to drop immediately again after less than 5 days after a monthly update, it’s so frustrating and I’m sick of it. I have friends that would of love to come to orun but they will just have to be stuck and wait until someone from AGS would like to do something. Please again hear my words. Don’t kill orun and don’t kill other mega servers with the miss management of server locks. Maybe if everything wasn’t locked there wouldn’t be all players rushing to get into 1 server.
I mean, if they unlocked it, you’d probably get an influx of players that would lead to queues that would have both the existing people on that server and the new people on that server complaining.
Transfers are really just not a great solution to balance server populations because it’s so difficult to predict what players will do. I’d much rather that they just use merges. Another preferable solution IMO is to increase character slots, though that entails a few other changes/decisions that aren’t necessary with just merging servers.
I would rather have cues than playing on a dead server… The Dev’s need to be more proactive.
Yea, I agree with mergers over transfers. Each server should have +1000 players during prime time.
However, in regards to the OP’s concerns, it sort of looks like Orun is heading towards a death spiral pretty fast. A few weeks ago it had 2000 players and a queue. Now it has a 1300 player peak on a Saturday afternoon, and more like <900 other times of the day (like right now). Maybe it’s related to the recent trading post issues, but it looks like Orun might die soon-ish.
I play on Orun and I’d rather wait in a queue and be able to play OPR/find a dungeon group whenever I want than play on a dead server not being able to do anything.
Kippp you a wise man bro! I have moved severs and changed between my two characters depending on servers. But it is a pain where they get a good population, then the bubble pops and there is a decline, but this is made worse by the Devs being sooooo slow to react.
Open the server
Yes this ^ Orun feels like it’s declining fast #’s wise. I hate to be one of those guys yelling on the forums at devs/community managers but @Luxendra @TrevzorFTW can we please take a look at Oruns population and please consider unlocking it. If it gets ignored for long enough I’m just worried it’s going to get the same treatment as Eden and completely die. I would rather deal with a q then let it keep declining like it is now.
That’s because Orun has turned toxic as F***.
Other top population servers that went through the same mega server buzz, castle of steel and maramaa are dealing population loss as well and it’s literally in order of the time everyone went to the respective server, orun was first and at the lowest 1000 as of writing this, CoS 1200 was second, maramaa 1400 the most recent transfer hub.
No matter where you go on the internet you are going to find toxic people, it’s how humans are unfortunately, no one server is going to be gum drops and rainbows. people are dicks you will have to accept that when trying to play an online video game, block them and move on. The one thing you can help is not be toxic yourself by generalizing a whole server of people. Respect works both ways and why would someone try to be nice to you when you come off like that?
Maramma’s was going up, actually. They just locked it a couple days ago.
There’s toxic people everywhere, yes, but not to that degree. There wasn’t that degree originally and there wasn’t that degree when servers were first merged into Orun.
Also, give me a break. Calling the server environment what it is isn’t being toxic. You can name something without being a participant in it.
half of the people on orun got banned for duping dont blame the devs for the greedy people on your server and now most of them are crawling back to there old servers i think its hilarious
Your comment legitimately doesn’t make sense. Idk who hurt you but, it doesn’t even seem like you play this game if you think that’s how that works………
All I know is this is the first time I’ve wanted to play a game (that a lot of people no longer want to play) and the actual developers are preventing me from being able to do it because my clan is on Orun (natives not transfers) lol. I’m not even trying to transfer…I’m just trying to create a new character. This is crazy.
I would LOVE to have a que to wait to play, if that means when I log in I can actually play the game… PLEASE GIVE ME QUEUES
Totally agree
a friend of mine and their friends play on Orun…
so I want to transfer to it… it says its full but the populations is medium…
Free Orun! 
Don’t look now but Pluto has just overtaken Orun for concurrent players and it is NOT a locked server. When is Orun going to be unlocked?!
You are so right dude
