Well GU4 is here and I cant even be bothered to check it out since it will make no difference to a dead server. GG NO REPLY SOE
Ultimately, it is utterly important that people bring the attention of SOE to this matter by expressing their concerns in a factual, constructive way via Twitter, Reddit, PSU and the official forums.
Seems like they hate us in europe... Everybody on woodman (that hasen't jumped ship already) is waiting for either server transfers or accountwide unlocks. And now GU4 and nothing still. Its depressing
And regarding people thinking its impossible to merge with other servers, they should just split it in three and merge with all the other eu servers
Recapitulation for those who are just tuning in: the current population development on Woodman based on the official numbers pulled from the SOE Census API: the turquoise graph depicts Woodman's population. (Source, based on official statistical data pulled from SOE Census API.) Main Conclusions based on Facts(!) presented above: 1. Woodman's peak population is around 1600 players (vs Miller's 3500 player peak) 2. Woodman has the steepest drop-off after prime time of all servers. 3. As a consequence of 2. Woodman is regularly empty, i.e., below 100 players; e.g. on March 12, 6 am a total of only 23 players online on Woodman.
What? Woodman is now the biggest server ! Silly Aiven. I would still maybe like a transfer though. Miller is where the big outfits are at, so its population is likely to be more stable.
well they will loose another server because of just ignorance but its their decision. there are so many other games and developers who care about their customers
Personally I would like to merge Woodman with Miller, because Woddman has a stron VS Pop and so the pop imbalance on the three factions would become better! Also the number say, that peak Woodman and peak Miller is wide below the 6k players a server could handle... I would looking forward to this
The Miller VS would ofc welcome our VS brethren from Woodman with open arms! Vanu smiles upon you! We would have to discuss the disastrous fail back during Empire Showdown tho, disgraceful to say the least!
Could I choose where I would be moved at because I have VS char in Miller and TR char in Woodman. I would not want to be a double agent.
merging servers has created tremendous lag. The last thing SOE needs to do is more mergers. They need to market their game better, make it more playable and have more task oriented things like the alerts - and other objectives - which will bring more players to the game. Marketing + improved gameplay = the only way to actually bring players and keep them in this potentially epic game.
I'm not surprised Woodman is dying, have you seen all the people walking around in mid-air, Sundererer and tanks hovering 5 inches from the ground, delayed packets, missiles spinning around in circles by themselves, and absolute ****e hit registration. Developers on holiday or something?
