I think this is a phenomenon that will hit other ENTIRE WORLDSETS too.
7 servers in my worldset, peak user of the best server is down to 800 players and falling… the others are mostly under 500 players (mine <400).
I waited on using my transfer to see if any are healthy… they are all losing players. They are all in a death spiral.
Even if players in the worldset all in unison transferred to the single highest pop server… it would be 3500 peak hour users currently (but all servers are dropping so fast it will be 2500 in another week).
Physically it isn’t even possible for players to transfer all to 1 server… many already used tokens and are locked into a server.
The whole world set system is messed up… (major region locked fine, but essentially regions within regions… not fine).
All servers will die in my worldset. FYI - all hit capped 2000 concurrent users during the first week.
Rerolling is a horrid thought based on how economies are. Add in the people who were hooked up and now sitting on Bis and not banned…for 24 hours, who have ratcheted their way to the bulk of the lands…nope. A reroll would suck now. Maybe later, not so much, but now, bleh
I disliked locking people into world sets… It is a rather restricting thing to do when it comes to a MMORPG.
Hopefully in the future they are able to design a server system like FF14. Where you are able to transfer through servers or even regions if you want to. (Able to visit other servers when you please for a short period of time to play with friends) Theres no reason why anyone should be locked into a server with only 2000 people on a MMORPG.
