We are completely sick of playing on these low pop servers and “on the horizon” isn’t reassuring enough when it comes to server merges. I find myself not even wanting to play this game anymore because the server pop is so low I can do literally nothing except grind my face off on trade skills which are painfully boring. God forbid I have to buy ANYTHING on this server now too because even the most basic of materials are going up exponentially every day due to the lack of people grinding those materials.
If you arent willing to quickly get more server transfer tokens out can you at the very least let us buy them, I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t allow for that as it stands to do nothing but make the company money. These servers are dying extremely fast day by day and it’s making the game unplayable. I sit in a queue for outpost rush for 2 hours before I finally give up. Nobody can put a watermark group together anymore, no corruption trains are running. The place is a damn ghost town. LET’S MOVE.
Take your time with merges if you have to, flush them out and make sure they work right, sure. But don’t make your players suffer through this crap because you guys were ill-prepared for the launch, the transfers, the server caps, etc. You folks are going to get to the end of the patience rope real quick and it won’t be enough to give us a “stoic x2” title… Please move this along quickly…
I agree. My server pop is around 200 but I haven’t done a single OPR since one of the major company decided to transfer to another server.
The server pop was alright when i transferred around one week ago, but now after the huge dupe happened we lost a huge chunk of player base, and now after the major company transferred we are kinda empty now.
The reason why i play this game is because i wanna pvp, but if i have to wait at least 3 hours for a single OPR, nah thx ill quit.
Maybe i’ll come back after they do server merge, or find another better game to enjoy and never come back, who knows.
Merges yes, tokens no. All the tokens do is move people around, one server might gain, others die. And those who’re desperate for more players end up causing the largest servers to have 2k+ queues, and they can’t even play anymore.
you got a token for free and you picked your server yourself so to be honest… dont expect handouts when you repeatedly make mistakes.
make a character on server you think of traveling to and judge, dont just blindly jump… merges are similar… keep in mind you where given a freebie and it didnt need to be used right away…
We got a token for free becasue AGS promised it as a way to get people to servers they knew would have to be merged at some point. It was not a handout.
You will never know what’s gonna happen to the server pop unless you can tell the future.
Like you will never know there will be a dupe glitch and server lose a lot of players because of that.
incorrect, they gave a free token to all and without limitation of server choice besides those who where full. The token was so you could pick a server to your prefference but it was still free…
other mmo’s still merge servers but they also require transfer a fee for those and they require subscription as well… so quite literally them giving you a free token is a handout.
and you wasting that free token is your mistake alone.
if i go and throw money out the window then i wouldnt blame gravity or the wind for it falling…
… some peoples greed and inability to accept fault is honestly speaking baffeling
the future quite literally is not set in stone be that game or life… and you expect a free token whenever you make mistakes becourse you rushed a choice… take this as a lesson… dont rush things… wait a bit and make an educated choice…
I didnt make a mistake when I moved but stop acting like the free token was given out because of other people making a mistake. AGS made the mistake and the token was their way of trying to fix a situation they created.
Except that what you said was from your own experience. Let me tell you a story of my server transfer. I was in a mid/low pop server, transferred to a mid/high pop server (Gaunes) and 2-3 days after I did that, people from Gaunes started transferring away and now this server is pretty much dead. It has about 330ppl in peak times.
Please tell me again how this turn of events is foreseeable?
Simply the Math doesn’t check out. There way too many servers and way too few people for all of them. Not saying that new tokens should be handed out at this time (free or not) but we definitely need server merges. And after that if there is still an issue in some servers, then only in that case additional server transfers should be handed out to affected servers, not everybody.
a free token is a free token
you wouldnt expect blizzard to do the same so why expect higher treatment from a company giving you same type of product but cheaper…
following phrase comes to mind: give them a hand and they take an arm
i quite literally expected having to pay for a transfer token, i havent used it yet as i am a calm person who bases choices upon experience and i dont expect the next token or future transfers to being free as this game has no subscription cost, only cosmetics and expansions.
this turn of events is foreseeable based upon the last 2 decades of mmo’s just look at population alone from world of warcraft how their servers are upon releases… if this is your first mmo then treat it as experience and try lookup old mmo info later to make better choices next time ^^
If blizzard said hey we opened 100 new servers go there and soon we will offer free transfers yes I would expect them to.
Thats what AGS did. I knew before buying the game that I would get a free transfer token. Not because we asked, they announced it. Did you pay attention to launch day?
I started MMOs with UO, please try and impress someone else with your vast experiences.
They should just add paid transfers. You had a free chance, you wasted it and its your fault. Free tokens would cause whole companies to move again and random servers will die. With paid transfers, only the really unhappy players will move.
AGS gave tokens but not to new servers nor specific ones and they didnt mention merging either. Blizzard has only offered free transfers many years after release and only to reduce high load servers mitigating towards less populated servers, this was within their interrest as server load was high.
this is a fresh mmo and you want from low to medium or high not for server load but as you made mistakes yourself.
WHERE CAN I MOVE MY CHARACTER TO?
You can move your character to any world in your region, except:
You cannot move your character to a full world.
You cannot move your character to a world in maintenance.
You cannot move your character to a world set that you have an existing character in already.
You keep telling me I made a mistake and you are talking out your ass. I joined the game 1 week after launch, knowing I could not join my friends because their server was locked. I joined a newly made server knowing I would get a transfer, transfers came out and I moved to that server with my friends.
Long story short at lanuch me and multiple friends got scattered across multiple servers, we did some research and found a new server we wanted to move to, a few days in we find the new server incredibly toxic and not enjoyable at all.
That i support and respect mistakes can be made but there should be an option especially considering the transfers are now fixed we should soon see buyable tokens ^^
mind your language and accept you made a mistake, that is how you move on in life, i made the mistake conversing with a stubborn person and i linked the direct response from the company to correct your false claims regarding merges. i will now conclude this conversation as it has turned immature and isnt constructive.
Just merge the servers and make it fun find all servers that have roughly the same active numbers and make them fight.
And when you are done get rid of the stupid gold tax on everything as you will merge the servers to what effect? Players will still quit over tax and broken content and bugs.
People have been banned for creating characters to “check out servers” - the process to rectify it is horribly slow. This isn’t a viable option right now.
