I come back to the game and I see WEST SERVERS DYING even faster. MERGE THEM NOW!

^what they said.
That 2k peak looked like this yesterday - YGG 1,006, ELD 592, CAM 304, LILY 110 
The peak doesnât mean anything if it only lasts for an hour. Your average is trash. Look at the rest of the time vs peak. You have 23 more hours than the one youâre focusing on. Most of that time frame is minimal. I can get a high pop time by selecting peak too.
If it tells you anything, that time was taken at 4pm in the afternoon. Your time was taken at 10pm at night which is probably not accounting for the local time. Either way, a peak of 2k players isnât anything at all if the rest of the time your players are under 400.
I challenge you on that⌠Why are you looking at max pop when you should be looking at average. Max doesnât tell you anything other than this many players played in one months time. You can have 1k players one day and for 29 more, you can have a fraction of that. Not to mention, the pops are going down weekly. A month back isnât accurate.
If you havenât learned anything about server pops over the last months, you havenât learned anything at all.
The numbers you see right now will be lower next week.
You peeps need to understand trends. Youâre taking the highest pop possible and using that as an answer and thatâs not even close to being correct.
2k people playing on a server doesnât matter if the average is around 500.
And that does what? Gives the false sense of population rise for a brief moment. The following week, that same merged server will lose almost half of itâs pop.
Dudes⌠Weâve seen this literally EVERY SINGLE WEEK since the game went live.
When sorted by 30 days. it shows that the population is pretty well stabilized for at least the last 30 days on USwest. According to the info, the population max is around 2500 players at 7PM for the last 30 days. I grabbed a snippet slightly off peak for the max concurrent for usw here.
something else to think about is that is the max, âconcurrentâ players that day. Which means, there are more people on the server than this. These are just the ones that are logged in at that particular time of the snapshot.
The overall global numbers are relatively stable the last month.
For the trend to continue, that was very popular for the last few months, the global trend should have been well below 10 thousand players, however that has not happened.
In fact, the trend seems like it may even be rebounding the other direction. That remains to be seen this month through the patch.
In all likelihood we will see a pretty decent surge this patch with so much changing, and depending on how AGS handles everything, it may be a turnaround moment.
To many who are severely invested in watching the ship burn, it may turn out to be dissapointing. As so far, it does look like theyâve plugged the holes in the ship, and itâs turning around very slowly. My prediction is that heavy media presence, and streamer content will drop with content late july, and usher in the beginnings of a surge that lasts into the fall content release.

Are you ok? Even the most populated servers in the game go to a few hundred players in off hours. US west pop matches the same player cycle that 2k max pop servers have.
US west has a perfectly healthy server if the servers are merged.

I do expect a surge from the new patch but I expect a surge is all it will be. I can only speak for WC servers because I have been on YGG since the beginning and paid attention to it. What I can tell you is this⌠YGG was the third highest pop server most of the time. El Dorado and Camelot were above it. That changed over the last month or so and YGG became the top WC server. YGG had peaks of like 1200 ish. Recently a ton of people have come from El Dorado and Camelot into YGG. At least 1k I would say. Peaks are still 1200 or less. That tells me people are just not playing the game. People keep transferring in but peaks keep staying the same or lower.
I can also tell you, as you already know, I am not one that wants to watch this game crash and burn. However, things dont look good. Other than a couple surge days during double xp event last weekend⌠the population has continued to drop. The peaks over the last month have done what they been doing each month⌠losing 1k or more concurrent players. The trends are not good. People say every month since like 40k people that the population is stabilized. Here we are and its not stabilized. There is still a bleed of about 1k players a month. May have slowed down a lot, but it hasnât stopped.

I transferred into Ygg and want them to give transfers before the update.
Know itâs not going to happen but, it would be best for server health.
Transfers for recently active on Cam, Dorado, and Lilliput to Ygg. Even though not much of a point with Lilliput as the people there probably donât want to leave.

Why merge the servers when everyone is spending money on transfers? Get your wallet out.
On a side note, i think mergers/transfers were a horrible idea. Imagine the mess they will have when you have a large influx of returning players coming back to check out new contentâŚ
Wish it was possible for cross-server group finder/instances, but probably not or they would have already implemented.
Shelled out to transfer off Camelot to Ygg last night. Played for a bit and realized I wasted my money and just donât have it in me to log back in.

You dont like YGG? Iâve been on there since the beginning. Its changed a lot with all the transfers in but it was a real chill server and could always get all the content going on. Although my guild is dying out lately. Either lack of playtime from people or people leaving to other guilds so they can keep playing with others.
Ygg is great, sold a bunch of stuff and made 20k gold within the first hour or so. Just burned out in the hope department after that dev video. Always sugar coating their responses to things. RL giving me enough headaches I figured it was a good time to take a break.

I feel you. I took a two month break around January. Felt great. Came back refreshed. Might be time for me to take another break too as my company is going dead and Im losing friends to various other guilds.

Seen it so many times now. This should have been fixed before they made a new dungeon itâs literally like nuking an entire server when those types show up.
