Cerberus Continues To Suffer From Low Population

[Kylos]

Very much so. You're on Asura so you got zero clue how it is here. Your population is an average of 1.4-2k players at any given time (I know people there who used to run with me). Cerb is 200-400 most days. I've had my own linkshell for years, and I'm ALWAYS recruiting, whether it be /yell, ffxiah.com, asking around with the people I know, asking my dads social LS if anyone can do our times. Please don't assume I have not gone above and beyond. I've gone so far I've got players to jump from Asura and other servers to join us. It really has been that bad for a very long time. But no one on Asura (unless you came from a server like Cerb) has any idea what it's like to form parties here. It's ridiculous. And so is the AH.

There is nothing more I can do .. other than paying to fix a problem SE has created by allowing so many to jump servers and leave some like Cerb (and others, not just here) like a barren wasteland. Like I said earlier, we can't do that as it means abandoning everyone who relies on our linkshells. Without our linkshells the server would be even more dead. So many players I met over the years jumped server ages ago. In fact .. one of my former linkshells had to disband for that reason alone.

We make do with who we have here, which are mostly casual players who cause no drama whatsoever. I love running with the people we have. They do help me sometimes if I ask them nicely, but I don't expect them to. It's not just Sinister Reign or Dyna-D, it's all content and the economy. Luckily my group has already destroyed Omen many times over and got us one Aeonic .. but was it easy? Hell no.

It took us many, many months to figure them out with what we have. Over a year to make an Aeonic. We almost finished our second. With a populated server we'd likely have more done. My LS has not had a dedicated BRD for well over six months despite always asking around for one. I've had to gear up jobs I didn't want to gear just so we had the options, as have some of my LS members. It's made us a tighter unit, but man .. the waiting around.
