Hello,
I play on Pleroma server - Arkadia Ultra world set. Not gonna dive into the details of all the politics of it, what i want to talk about is that this server been leeking players for over a month now since this Marauders company transfered over to another server. On top of that, for the past week it got even worse with all the events that have taken place with the game, all the exploits and whatnot, and this last couple days 6 of the biggest companies on the server just transfered over as well, leaving the server pretty dry on any type of PVP content to be experienced.
With all that i discribed, the company that i am a part of is considering to transfer over as well, reason being they dont wanna wait for an unknown period of time until the server merges go through to hopefully end up in a server with a healty population and balanced faction distribution. They want to have control over what they are gonna get themselves into and the way to achieve that is scout a server that fits what they expect and transfer over there.
The problem kicks in once a handful of company members, myself included, transfered from some other server back when the wave of transfer tokens were released in the first place, to group up with our friends and play with them at last. For this very reason the company decided to postpone the migration until the merges happen, however, this massive exodus of companies left us all with no pvp in the foreseable future until said merges happen, and who knows how its gonna be.
Getting to my point, i dont wanna be the reason 40+ players are stuck on a “dead” server, as much as i dont wanna be left behind and once again be playing alone waiting for another wave of transfer tokens.
My question is, is there a possibility that you, AGS, consider handing out transfer tokens for players that find themselves in this type of situation? Via submitting a ticket to support i presume.
Laying out the facts, this is a side effect of giving every single player in the game a transfer token on the first wave of tokens when it was released, valid for an unlimited period of time, when they were tailed to tackle a very speficic issue, which is players that chosen to start the game on a different server than intended. Having everyone earn a token made it turn all the servers into a molotov gasoline bottle, by the slightest sight of adversity, companies have been taking the free skip they’ve been given rather than deal with what happens within their server.
It sounds hipocritical to make that claim while asking for another token, but we’ve been holding on to our server watching every other competitive companies take the exit and we are getting out of options on what to do in this server with regards to pvp content. I will add that company members are even willing to crowdfund tokens for those who already has used their free ones just to get everyone moving over together, so if instead of handing them out, it be a paid microtransaction it works just fine as well.
I understand that this type of volatility might make it more dificult for you to work on the server merges, however we want to keep playing the game and, other than that, the only option we see in the horizon is find another game to play as more and more of new world player base has been doing. We dont want this game to dye out of players, but yall gotta give us something to help us help yall mantain this game alive.
Ancious to be hearing from you, sincerely. Labbin
