iv taken notice that server populations are a bit low. averaging only around 500 people per server. and this was around 8pm est on a weekend shortly after an update.
i have to say compared to the old days when it was common to see 10k its sickening...
i still love the game and the new content is great. but finding groups to do anything anymore is becoming a all day task...
is it possible to do a server merger or even better a advertising champagne to get people back or even new people playing. two methods can be done about this
1. Lower monthly fee, this will allow those who want to keep an active account. but budgeting is a bit tight, resulting in playing "free to play" options (or eliminate it entirely and add micro transactions for in game "toys") and become a free to play and explode in population!
2. Free copies that include ALL expansions at no charge, first month free, and still do the normal monthly transactions. this will give people a good reason to at least try it. they have nothing to lose!
