It's time to push Connery server population into Emerald server. It's tough to find fights on Connery even when the population is at it's highest. This game is and always will be at it's best when the population is large. Or make the characters portable so we can pull them out of Connery.
i main on Connery but been goofing around on Emerald. Im an average player at best on Connery but i have been running amok on Emerald
Ye I've been playing Emerald too past 2 months, after 6 years on Connery. Connery has a handful of 48'vs48's during primetime, tho Emerald usually has double that. It's about time to merge them & just open more conts to divide the pop. Hopefully even working on a medium map Koltyr 2.0 jungle forest zone. Seems it would help player retention tbh, since more pop means players are more entertained, means the retention is better. Which then brings new players when they hear of the big battles, from those who switched over to one mega server. Seems the Euro servers want to merge too. Just make sure you're able to merge them without the result of the server lag that the Arsenal update had.
I'd be curious to see what the overall player levels are. Server merging is usually due to low population / game popularity.
Steamcharts will show how many players are playing at any given time, it won't show the players who who the launcher from the website but they are probably not more than 10%
If we had the ability to freely chose which server our MAIN CHARACTER could play on this would actually, counterintuitively, spread the population out. Don't like the continent on Emerald, a bunch of players would actually jump on Connery. Don't like how your leadership is screwing up on Emerald, a bunch of players would jump on Connery. Vice versa. Otherwise if we're stuck on one server, forever until the end of time, then everyone's going to bum rush the 1 most populated server and stay there forever until the end of time.
Theirs another thread on the steam forums about this. Suggest this is priority #1, to merge us west with us east & merge the eu servers. Seems if you want to maintain 2 out of the 4 servers, than 2 servers have to be mega servers. Just make sure the ping isn't effected so that Camikazee and the other Aussies are able to play still from us west that they're with, to us east. Yet maybe camikazee would play often, less battlebit, if he got to experience the pop that us east has. I don't know if they need to have 2 servers to select. Seems just auto mega server per continent works. Isn't the pop already channeled from map alerts. Also would be sweet after a merge, if so, if every map allowed for 30, 45, to 60 more people.
