    Instancing has always been a problem for the game, really. Even as early as the open BC in at Ghelsba at one point. Also remember stuff like the Fellow lines or Campaign BCs when the strongholds were finally captured. And while they could just triple every pop point, I'd also suggest they just drop the server transfer fee and remove the cooldown, letting people hop to another server temporarily if they find a given area too congested.

    its not more people? its the same number. More people on one server and less on another doesn't change the number of people playing lol. And new people don't know how many people are on which server.

    (But really i'm simply not going to pay for a server transfer when all the people i know are here and i can still do most anything I want to do without a problem)



    Plus some people don't like overcrowded servers. Since the most I ever saw was around 2200 or so on Shiva back in the day and I'm pretty sure populations were more balanced back then, i'd consider over 3k overcrowded. Even on shiva sometimes I have to wait for ambuscade, so i cant imagine what it's like voer there.


    While I did HNM camping, I hated it. skill or party coomposistion are basically irrelevant and it was just luck of the draw (or botting)... waiting three hours playing isketch while checking for the pop every 30 minutes only to get out provoked by a botter was not really my idea of fun.

    glitched bots, taking up voidwatch pop locations and not actually fighting....... just popping, come on SE, we're paying for a service here, it's not difficult to see them

    The point I was making was that you said you prefer to be on Shiva because it is quiet. Well, if every server had 300 players, we wouldn't have a game to play, in my opinion. Which is why I said "More players, more subs".

    If every server had 300 players there would need to be several more of them, actually.

    They would lose more than they gain this time... the sheer amount of people botting is astronomical right now... but the amount of people quitting or complaining about it just aren't significant enough to match.

    True, but the more "real" people that quit, the less likelihood of RMT taking interest. My nephew has just quit as he is discontented with the way things are/have gone/going toward, whom I spent most my time helping, now he has gone, I'm barely logging in myself.
