Please unlock the servers before you kill the hype Brimstone generated

[NWShotty]

None of the locked servers on NA East have hit queues except Valhalla. Servers are dying since people cant play with their friends or are forced into Olympus after Eden already pulled most of the new players.

The PTR has more players than Olympus

yes server should be opened up das ago.

[swervey]

pls unlock them ags

[jessillyious200]

yes plz most ppls friends wont just jump to a new server when you open them. unlock and let ppl play. this is almost 100% same as day one didnt you guys learn? making more servers isnt the answer increase the population 1 more time (third times the charm?) make em like 3.5k pop or something large enough for there to be enough room for ppl to come and go. /rant. A while back they stated it was because they didnt want 7k ppl running around starter zones and taking the resource’s but like isnt that part of a mmo? did you guys miss that part?

They look to be in a healthy state atm.
And of course the PTR has a lot of players, BSS just hit. And 3.5k per server? You are joking right? lol 2.5k is to much as it is.

Called it.

Brimstone Sands launch - server concerns

Hey all, I love New world and am a returning player after stopping around December 2021. AGS have done a lot since then and I believe if the game launched as is there would be millions of active players still. Yes there are still issues, but it’s better. (as a PvPer, and someone that can’t play a lot due to other commitments, the lack of equalisation in arena bothers me for example) I wasn’t really happy with how AGS handled the launch, especially locking servers. Anyway, point of this post …

Specifically these two points.

1. don’t think Amazon should lock servers, please do not prevent friends from playing together. This killed the game at launch for many of my mates that were forced to roll on another sever and play alone. (they came late so half of us didn’t want to start again). MMO players are use to queues at launches. Yes some of the queues were ridiculous though, on OCE servers though it wasn’t that bad.

2. IF they do lock servers, do not keep them locked for too long. Another issue that occurred that several servers were sub 1500 players about 2 weeks after launch and they kept them locked for a month.

Please upvote/comment on this to get some attention. Happier players & more money in @ags pocket— sounds like a win win. If a server starts hitting a consistent que (Valhalla), then lock the server.

This should be the only reason to join a high pop server. It’d be nice if AGS would develop a referral system. Where on a locked server you can join if you have a friend referral. If not, as in you are completely new, no friends ingame either, join on a selected server to balance the populations.

AGS WakeUp.Opening All Servers.Its now time to open. all players need to transfer all servers.

[Cirok]

They will keep them locked for a month too long.

Ye I wrote it several times already. I give my friends a max of one week to stay interested in the game. Then they likely won’t come back even if the expansion drops.
I tested it today on a new low pop server.
The experience for new players is absolute dog, you run around through an empty world of nothingness.

I swear people would rather lagg in cities than run through an empty mmorpg world for hours on end being forced to put up with absurd spawntimers of way too many mobs playing it like a solo rpg. How do they not learn anything even a year later

It’s WAY more fun to struggle for mobs cuz of too many players than run around completely alone without seeing anyone
