Merge the Servers

Merge The Servers:

This is ridiculous, if not 251-800 'people' online, then each person has like 4 robot alt accounts.

Fuse the servers so that each sever has a population of at least 9-10,000 people online perpetually.

You can't even get your shouts answered anymore.

Altana's derelict and decrepit corpse indeed.

[Alhanelem]

No.

As it is right now, the people on smaller servers LIKE being on the smaller servers. Little to no RMT and less botting too. And we can still get stuff done.

You can take Shiva from me when you pry it from my cold dead character.

This problem was created by the community. If anything, Asura should be split, since it's overcrowded and has more players than any server had at the game's peak.

[Catmato]

Do not merge the servers.

Merge the servers.

There's ~250 people on Quetzalcoatl right now 1:38 PM EST Monday 24/6/2024, so:

If most of those people are using multi-boxes to be able to accomplish their objectives and goals, then each party is 1:5 player-to-essentially robot (well-scripted multiboxed character), then:

that means that only 1/6 of the player population are actually alive: 41. There are 41 actual people on Quetzalcoatl right now, 41 is an unserviceable state.


And if you're curious: [/sea all population]/Party size = anatomical, real world people. This is how it works on average because the multiboxers are one person, and the empty characters are five but still make up a countable subscription but you can't interact with them to get anything, you can only interact with the party leader, so only the party leader is worth a damn.

Merge the servers or make server changes free. This is unplayable bullshit.

Edit: let's be real here: if more people with more robots are put in closer proximity together then you get stronger Gods, and that's the real meta here: cross-server migration and metaphors.

My robot can:
- Use water as fuel
- Electroprecipitate metal ions and minerals
- smelt and refine metals and minerals
- synthesize medicines
- activate medicines
- purify water
- create disinfectants
- cure diseases
- clone myself
- clone other species
- clone myself into other species
- create the other gender
- clone the other gender
- clone the other species's other gender(s, ?)
- create clothing, and art, and societies
- travel off planet
- repeat the whole process described from start to finish on the other planet
- over-populate the other planet
- then meteorite your planet with a meteorite of procreating clones created from the other planet all while being a pair of Jordache Genes.
- and cure cancer. '-')-b
plus free shipping on all goods purchased because we retrofitted everything here on Earth.

Buy your Principessa and or Widget today!

Edit: By 4:32 PM EST we use clone meteorites to generate electricity.

Or maybe just buy yourself a server transfer instead of demanding that SE take care of that for you.

Because it's systemic across multiple servers you unknowing unthinking lout. :mad:

[Alhanelem]

Because it's systemic across multiple servers you unknowing unthinking lout. :mad:The only systemic problem is the community (reddit in particular) saying "hey everybody, move to Asura".

The people who remain on the other servers are happy there. If you aren't happy, then you should server transfer. Don't presume to speak for everyone that isn't yourself. And being verbally abusive doesn't help your case. This "problem" will solve itself over time, either people will move to them or everyone will move off them. SE doesn't need to take any action.

You just spoke for every one else which doesn't help yours.

And this problem over time is like 10 years old already. So: you just killed your own point. Stop fan boyiung SE and help them make things better for the next 20 years.

[Alhanelem]

I didn't kill anything. Like I said: we're in a largely equilibrium state: Most people right now are happy where they are, and if they aren't, they will change that on their own. Stop presuming that you have the right to speak for everyone that isn't you.

Beyond this point, I think I'll just let the likes on the posts above speak for themselves.

[Dragoy]

I'm more in the "do not merge" camp, but I do think the price for transfers is pretty high.

Not sure free would be good though. Auction houses might get... weird... for example.

[Jordache]

Then make it a yearly free-bee exchange program - once a year you can move for for free, everything will resettle in like 6 week anyway, reforming all the same keratinized everything. But you get a breath of new.

I'm on Quetz, and I don't want servers to be merged. If I was concerned about low pop on a server, I would do just what Alhanelem suggested, transfer to a higher pop server.

Alhanelem speaks without understanding the apex that's being conveyed here: It's not about low pop on a server (which is part of the complex situation) it's that the servers are non viable for fun and adventure because the small populatino number has coalesced those populations into linkshell-based groups that are pathologically dependent on the LS group itself and no longer know how to interact with the greater server population at large. There are brealy any shouts or yells leaving everything to these isolated linkshell groups that are dominated by the same type of Alhanelem-esque deleterious social fabrication, there's a lot of social manipulation within these linkshells and the stagnation needs to be vented.

If you've ever change servers, not LSs servers to experience the META-vers of Vana'diel you'll understand exactly what I'm talking about - and so do the developers. That's my SCH.

[Alhanelem]

You keep trying to sound hyper-intelligent but your entire post is one thinly veiled personal attack. Personal attacks are not logical arguments. You are fabricating problems that don't exist and using someone like me as a conduit to bolster your claims, because if you bash someone who isn't popular on these forums, surely people will listen to you right?

*rolls eyes*

Stop thinking like you're important, this isn't about you you self-centered narcissist. If you weren't so stupid you would have figured this out by know!

No, but not cowing to your sadistic suggestions either, capiche?

Leave the server distribution as it is. I am one of the players who finds the smaller server populations making the game more enjoyable. I left the game, then came back to find the game enjoyable again. Aside from the quality of life improvements, the distribution of players across all the servers causes a state of equilibrium. If you don't like your current server, then go to one that meets your expectations.

This is true except that you have to pay to do that, with no guarantee that the server you go to will be better, then your only option is to pay again.

If there was no fee to jump servers then this would be an acceptable solution, but as there is, it's unacceptable. You have no control over how your server will be and your only option is fees if you pick wrong. You get monetarily punished for being dissatisfied.

It's not about small server size populations, although it makes it a component of the problem: its about the player composition of the smaller servers' populations being mentally retearded (french sense, not developmental), no one functions at a server level anymore, only within linkshells, and even still even within linkshells its like 3 people who have 5 scripted accounts each. You have like 15 servers like this, no one cares but answer shouts. It's not vibrant and it just gets worse from there.

Also the fact that you might not get your character's name as you transfer server as there is no way to check beforehand (SE I'm looking at you), unless you pay extra to mule account, occupy a name slot for confirmation, then delete mule, then transfer the character.

[Alhanelem]

There still has to be limits on transfers to prevent abuse, a cost assocaited with it ensures people are only doing it if they really want/need to rather than simply hopping servers to buy stuff/mess with the economy etc.

Yeah that's why you set it to two [2] free transfers twice per year, and that is completely acceptable. Ever think that cross server transfers account for more of the stability/playability of your internal server economies than you think? Livability and Quality of Life.

And don't give me that abuse thing: you can transfer once every three days and abuse the whole system, heck half the people already pay over $30 /mo for all their empty subscriptions.

[Zattano]

A free transfer or 2 per year wouldn't hurt, but there are resources that returning or new players can use to explore server options before signing up. I hit Reddit for some info regarding the state of the game before returning, and found many suggestions leading to an accurate choice for the type of play environ I was seeking.

Also, just because someone doesn't agree with a point of view doesn't make it okay to start throwing insults around. Would be a more productive conversation without all that.
