Question - did you transfer off of your server with a queue onto one of the new ones?
Yes, the ‘damned if they do, damned if they don’t’ thing doesn’t seem to change.
AGS is in a Kobayashi Maru loop as far as severs and populations are concerned.
If the pop dips people post about needing merges. They merge and other people post complaints about being forced off their fun tiny little servers or having their community destroyed by a merge.
The game gets a player bump and people start posting for new servers because of queues. They add new servers to address queues and people start demanding to be able to play with their friends after high pop servers get locked to push people to the new servers…and people who won’t transfer still bitch about the queues.
At launch people complained about queues and more than twice the number of servers came online in a day. As soon as pops dipped people started complaining about dead servers. Merges happened…rinse and repeat.
I dont care about any of this as a returner and no other returner cares, it all boils down to one thing in the eyes of someone who came back after a year: Nothing changed.
Yeah i obviously know things have changed, i am following the game even when not playing, i am just saying what returners and new players see, the internal struggles of a multi billion company does not concern me or anyone else, what concerns us is to finally manage to play the product we paid for.
Create the problem. offer a solution at a price.
i need to be into this model.
not working for a living and here for a distraction from the working for a living slave dom.
AGS be teaching me every day, if you choose to see it.
