I'd just like to point out that there are only 6 active worlds (Defined by those which you can join) in this Server.... This is the lowest world count I've ever seen..
And we have gold/the events to thank for this..
I am NOT saying gold sucks. It's a tool that can be used to an aid. But, as we all know, there are those that spend ridiculous amounts of money on the game for gold. Then, with the increased events, even more golding happens. This leads to full myth nukes being made in just hours. Even in a new world such as Dyme, there are those who are bringing a 2K city to 12K in less than 3 hours. When the world opened, there were already players (thanks to the event at the time) with myth nukes at 40 of a unit - yet the world wasn't even a full 24 hours old yet... Then lastly, nobody is taking on the new people anymore. It's one big giant hug-a-thon where everyone hangs out with who they know and that's it. Targeting new players with intensity because it's an easy takeover and allows for the experienced and super golders to grow quicker. Not bad for them, but it's destroying the community. All of this, is destroying the community.
I looked at the Thebes map, and the outer core oceans (ex. 64,53,35,56 etc) or the "Rim" is BARELY filled halfway. Yet it's in WW Age..
TSF mentioned in a thread of his asking about a merge of the EN and US servers.. Might as well. As the way things are going, there won't be a US server to even play anymore.. Six worlds... SIX.
It's sad watching this game go from a great MMORPG that won a game of the year award - that had a HUGE community and fan base, to honestly this sad, little, thing. The US server is dying.
I know Inno/Grepo is making it's money. Probably more than it used to with all of the events and packages that are given now. But following this philosophy will only drive more and more out of each server until the game literally has a community to fit only ONE server for the entire world. And the money won't be there either..
MODs, please talk to someone whose gotten into this philosophy of having so many events and random packages/boosts and show them the data. I know it's there. We all can see it. But with how things are going, I don't believe there's even a point to opening another world in the US server after Dyme.. Under the current philosophy, the community will continue to diminish until there isn't even enough to fill the corners of the core oceans in any given world player count wise.
And yeah, I'm kind of just venting here. But I remember this game being great. It's no longer anywhere near that now.
