Very good job illustrating the dynamic.

EDIT And as an aside, you've made me a little depressed by the thought of how much of my past summers I've spent playing MMORPGs. I think I need to change that, beginning this year.

I've never seen more people on in summer than the rest of the year.

Though it is worth noting the wall of text represents valid opinions for the post creator, specifically, to make a decision on whether to keep subscribing or leave the game. Since that decision appears very clear by the post's contents, there's only one thing left to be said: Farewell, sidiouswumpscut. I wish you the best and hope you find what you are looking for in your next game.

I hate all of the vague date frames this company gives. I hate that they never commit on anything that involves a time frame. Hate it. Just venting, i know there is nothing i can do about it....at least i care, for now.

Yeah, I hate it, too, and it's not unique to this developer. All MMO developers do it because it's a complex system. Nothing anyone can do about it, though. Not even the developers.

Well, it is cheaper than many other summer activities. The important thing IMO is to get out to do some outdoor activities and fit in physical training. Otherwise, can see nothing wrong with enjoying time on an MMO.

Most gamers don’t play games 8 hours/day and at least aspire to see scantily clad women, which good weather blessedly brings. Normal people, even gamers, play less when it’s nicer outside, i.e., the summer. It's been this way in every MMO.

I’m going to give you a free argument tip, which you will probably choose to ignore. The strongest arguments engage your opponent point and engage reality. If you simply repeat a point that people know to be false, you weaken your general argument. It’s not really a debatable point that MMO servers decline in Pop during the summer months, and pretending like there hasn’t been Pop decline on many servers is avoiding engaging with reality. Bully to Fatman and whatever other servers have seen Pop GAIN, but that's the exception.

Maybe BW could release their server Pop numbers and end the debate. heh.

It'd be way more encouraging to know an approximate date than something as vague as they've been dealing since launch. Would give people hope. The vague answer is just slightly better than "maybe".

The question is, will this actually fix anything?

My specific issue is I can play durning the day only, most servers sound busy in the evenings with almost nobody playing during the day and the few who are on don't seem interested in doing any of the endgame content. I have had a lvl 50 within about 2 weeks of launch and spent endless hours spamming LFG on the spacestation with zero luck in finding even a single group during the day. I have spoken to many different guild members trying to find one that has activity during the day and nobody is active during the day.

A cross server LFG tool is about the only thing that could help people like me to get to actually see the endgame content because no matter what server I go to, there will be no chance of finding enough people playing during the day for me to run with.
No matter how hard you try, you can't beat time.
