Weekend 16:00 and only ~50 people at the fleet

With a million subs spread over 216 servers you get about 900 per server during peak times


Its not yet a population problem but a population management problem

Its also the illusion of losing players that we are fighting we need a third of the servers merged. We launched with too many servers

If people are playing fewer hours total, how does that translate to 'loosing players'?

OP, come back here and tell us how many people are on the fleet the night ops reset.

Rift saw the same drop in activity as pockets of players became geared enough to go into log on to raid mode.

People who play several different mmos complained about the gear grinds and most of these game makers reduced the amount of playtime it takes to get gear. Now half the people STILL complains about the gear grind and the other half complains about not having enough to grind for the sake of progressing their characters.

I wish mmo developers would abandon the fantasy that they can make everyone happy and just make a game the way they intended to make it.

So there are 50+ players on your fleet alone and you can't befriend any?

Maybe i'm blind, but you didn't mention what server, which goes for most topics of this kind, so, change server, problem solved.

A healthy total pop should be 2000 to 2500 people at prime time.
It's not that I don't have friends or if try hard can find 4 people for a flash point after hours of /all spamming. It's just NO FUN that way.

With your argument a total pop of 16 would be enough to call a server healthy. But that's terrible wrong. 16 players was a cool number back the days where I managed private LAN-Partys. But for a MassiveMultiplayerOnly it's just a bad joke.



EU server. Else I wouldn't use the normal EU time notation. Or would one of you do it?
And I play at one of the better populated servers allready. Most of them have far LESS then 50 people.

I just don't understand how people can be so thick as to equate people playing fewer hours with loosing population. It's an ignorant statement.

In a way yes but when you have the population spread out over so many servers people get the impression that the servers are dead because of people leaving and not because the pop is spread out so thin,

Right or wrong perception is everything and right now the perception is that the low pop is because players are leaving and not because they a spread out
