*** Official Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Thread***

My suggestion is you move to one of the above server I posted above and start again, Wraith and Retibution have players of all levels, I got peed off with Engineer so rolled a Bright Wizard so I am only rank 12 now.
 
Hey everyone

I need to enlist the assistance of about 4 - 5 people at some point either tonight or tomorrow night on Karak Eight Peaks. I am trying to get a Guild formed, but I don't have enough friends online all the time to do it and I'm struggling to get them organised. Would it be possible for a few unguilded alts on KEP to meet up with me in Altdorf at a convenient time so that I can form it? You can leave right after, I just need to get it going.

Thanks :)

I'm already playing on the better server :)

Karak-Azgal is the other big core EN server along with Eight Peaks. KEP might have slightly higher population numbers, but Azgal is much more balanced. Though really it's difficult to judge balance and populations with the number of players who've quit the game recently, hence why it would be nice to see higher pop servers like ours as destinations for free transfers :(
 
I'd really like to see some subscription numbers, now that the inital rush has died down. I'm still having a lot of fun and i think this game is a keeper for me after being an MMORPG orphan for years waiting for SWG Emu to finish - having a lot more fun in WAR than in my long stay at WoW really.

And i do play on Azgal and get instant scenarios, if it isn't like that on other servers mergers need to get going ASAP, i'm very sad to see GOA ruining a game that is utterly dependant on a large amount of players to be fun.
 
Seems like they're just trying to merge all the low servers, rather than moving everyone to a populated server =/

The only way they're gonna solve it is to shut down the other servers, force people to move.

In short, have less bloody servers!
 
One of the guys at Mythic already said that closing down servers was a sign of a failing MMO - they'll never shut them...but it'll be the best thing for the game, IMO.

Which is their biggest mistake and may even be what actually kills (not kills but sees the playerbase devasted)... this game NEEDS server merges desperately and they should get over the idea that it means the game is dieing, they had way too many servers at launch and mixed with that utterly retarded way of soft capping servers and raising the cap over several weeks has just left it in a state were a handful of servers have an adequate (but still bad with med / med) population and the vast majority are low / low.

They need to consolidate their player base now into just enough servers +1 or I can't see this ending well for them.

This.

I'm fairly sure they can consolidate all the EU/EN servers into 2 or 3, and it would make the game MUCH more enjoyable, but alas, they will not.

I'm just fed up with this game to the point where I can't even be bothered to reroll RDPS :p

Closing down unused servers isn't the sign of a failing MMO, allowing servers to run that at peak times have 13 people logged in from a guild alliance of over 600+ people, scenarios not popping at all (I started at 10am on Saturday and played until about 8pm and it didn't go into an SC at all) and the player base gone entirely from your server is the sign of a miss-managed MMO.

It is absolutely chuffing absurd!
 
Yes but closing down servers is SEEN as the sign of a failing mmo. I can understand why they'd the reluctant to do it, the games press would be all over the news like a rash, and you have very few new people buying the game, regardless of how happy it made the existing players.

I started an alt on K8P last night, just out of interest - even the elven starting area was pretty busy, looks like a lot of people are switching.

I noticed the germans seem to have copped on too - there are about 10 german servers, one is high / high, all the rest at low / low.
 
They didn't handle the start very well to be honest. Too many servers, queue limit was too low. Whilst the latter is fixed, we have people spread out everywhere due to everyone trying to get on one server then getting sick of the 1hr+ queues and picking another one. So now such servers as Karak Eight Peaks and Karak Azgal are thriving whilst others are just purely dead.
 
After seeing the server transfers available, i think that idea is dead, moving from a low/low to another low/low or low/med. Not good enough; even med/med doesn't provide the quantity of people to play this game to near it's supposed function.

So i've advised my guild to hold tight and should our old server or one of the transfer options becomes high (very unlikely), we will move our old characters. But for now, we are all happy on the very busy Eltharion server and i think this is our new permanent home. Everyone's just taken it on the chin losing our old chars, but you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs.

So, if anyone on Eltharion or thinking of re-rolling (it's busiest server, high/high midweek even) and looking for a guild, give Zorbie (me) a tell/mail. We got about 58 members at the moment and all this week have had a constant min. of 15 online at anytime, so i imagine at peak at weekends that to double easily. We are mostly T2, many players being rank 13-14, i myself am just 10, so new rolls won't be far behind and i'm trying to get everyone similar levels so we can do raids/content together.

I think the idea behind it is good. If you give 6 servers the option to transfer to a low/med server, even if half the population of each server moved you're going to triple the population of that server.

The problem, is are people going to see it like that or are they going to see it as "Well I'm on a low/low... why would I want to move to another low/low or low/med!?" like you just have.

If enough people moved, the destination server wouldn't be low/low :)

Which is why it's a waiting game. You can only move the once and it's irreversible. So Me and i expect many others will wait for now, which of course cancels out the whole prospect of the transfers lol. I'd suggest merging, but i know GOA neither have the expertise or intention to ever do that.

They are so short-sighted. Their idea at the moment is: "We got 6 dead servers, lets give them the option to mvoe to these 2, then we got 2 full servers!"...

..Wrong, that's like playing russian roulette, who are the ones who jump feet first with the chance that they will end up in the same situation with no chance of moving again. Just forcibly move everyone and turn a couple servers into test servers which GOA also can't do, there will be 5% who don't know what time of day it is who will complain, but the needs of the many outweigh that of the few. Thats my second old saying of the day :D
 
Why even give the players an option of a server move, just move them to another server and have done with it.

what is going to happen to the people on the server now otehrs have moved, going to be even less people than before. Personaly, and i did do this as it happened to me, i had a few chars on other servers and founf people lacking. So i just bit the bullet and found a server where people where on, some OCuK too and re-rolled there. left behind a few lvl 15+ chars, but at least now i have people i can have fun with.

If i was in charge, id email all the users on the bottom 25% pop servers and let them know that in 2 weekends time, all users from your server are going to be moved to the new server, free of charge. would have liked to have seen you move to 8peaks server V3g3tto, but hey, cant have everything now can we )

It was a case of better safe than sorry, eltharion being highest pop. server, plus co-leader had already moved to Eltharion and started up a guild so had to check it out.

I left behind my 25 Runeprist, i'd levelled up cultivating and Apothecracy (can't spell that for crap) too :(. I'd made a name for myself as a healer, with help of some UI mods, was pretty sharp.

I had mentioned K8P to guild, but it's ORvR vs. Core, i think ORvR might have more play options and a more stable future.

But yeh it's a shame, i speak to you guys on here, and Eltharion in game, should all be same server! :). Will see how guild goes and who decides to stay on eltharion.
