I guess it's time

Yeap. I've been noticing each patch too there is a decrease in players over all. Patch week..or shoot, even a few weeks after the game was lively, now it seems little to no change.

Coming from a server that gets grouped with high population servers but really isn't (Siren), I've seen complete departures for a variety of reasons ("game x came out" "they did what to crafting?! I'm done!"), but even more have fled to the mega-servers in hopes of getting into statics or just seeing more people. My wife and I are planning on doing it as well once the house gets reclaimed. As anathema as it is to a game company to do, they really should merge some of the smaller servers.

Good luck since they wont even server merge for XI, which is part of the reason some people just dont go back. The community has been asking for server merges in that game for years, yet SE's alternative is just to lower the transfer price. Not greedy at all...

Oh, I know it's never going to happen, but there certainly are virtual solutions that could be done to give us the illusion of a more full server.
