We'll find out soon how the transfer system works. Oceanic will get theirs in the next few weeks.

I thought it was ridiculous to wait 2 months to allow Oceanic server transfers and I'm not even one of them.
It just occurred to me that as soon as they open up the transfer process to everyone, server populations are going to be in chaos for a while. I'm thinking of maybe staying put on Rubat Crystal for awhile until we can see how the population shifts are going to shake out.

11 people, one lvl50. It's an MMO. Let's say that again. It's an MMORPG. Massively Multiplayer Online.

Eleven!
There's more than 11 people.

2 million people , 50 servers ... 40 000 per server.

even if it were 100 servers, thats still 20 000 per server.

The servers are divided up by instances , and worlds. They need to cut down on the instances. I'm sure there's 50 copies of Ebon Hawk floating around, they need to compress that into 25 or some such , thats all.

Plus the game is new (jan 20) people are still doing story, so if you're a 50 , yeah it's pretty empty up there.

heck , I had to go away because my piece of crud computer couldn't take it anymore and I'm only just coming back with a new computer. You think I'm jumping to 50 anytime soon ?

There's plenty of people. They're just not 50.
Survey says : need more story....but we already have more story than anyone else ! ... too bad. need more story.

Sorry, but if you think 200+ on both sides is a 'dead server' then you don't know what dead is lol. Try 50 per side during peak times (and this on a server that a certain questionable 3rd party site puts in the top 20 of US servers...)

... Eh, are you seriously trying to say there are 2 million players online at average? Wow.

And obviously you have no idea what you're talking about. "/who" gives you the number of people currently online for your faction. Level and instance is irrelevant. -11-.

We could pre-order in July? Whatever.

I am not sure they are all that accurate. In another thread a poster mentioned having a gui;d meeting with 60 some members showing up and the world pop showed 9.
Anyways i believe the game is about a million subs at the moment which averages out to about 460/server during peak times which is an average of less then 14 per zone
10% of the sub base is one at any one time. Look at L.o.l. and W.o.w for examples of this..

Now we have way to many servers and players on sub light servers quitting rather then rerolling elsewhere.

Yes, servers are divided up by instances....but when you do a /who it shows instance numbers

You can try to ignore what people are saying all you want or just put blinders on and thing everything is fine. But I will simply ask you to re-roll a alt to Dragon Trail and see how much fun you have.

I logged on to Fatman last night and when I hit the fleet I saw 23 Simple /who showed me 2 instances of the fleet. 2... Dragon Trail during its prime time at 8 PM had a whopping 33....single digit instance.

It isn't the same. Not even close. 300+ people in one fleet and 33 in another. An order of magnitude difference. On Fatman general chat is flowing lines per second, Dragon Trail or any other dead server it is lines per minutes. On the one server you see nothing but people everyone. Guild tags, player names, a sea of blue text. Ghost towns you see nothing but scripted NPCs minus a few text tags near a daily quest, trainer, or some other random place.

Your numbers are off.
Meanwhile, in Tera general chat -

"The sad thing is, arguing with fanbois on the forums was more entertaining than their 300 million dollar single player MMO from 2008"

Someone claiming to have worked with EA sprouted up on the 4Chan forums, of all places. While it would be easy to roll-eyes and click away, what the chap had to say was rather interesting, as he detailed how his job at EA was basically to "troll" forums and websites to create viral marketing effects and deflect bad press from the inner circles of gaming.
