yeah i think getting people to sub and stay subbed is more important than them tracking

Honestly most people are on private servers now because 15 bucks a month isn't something that's attractive to them. Most of the large private servers are all more active than their live counterparts. Like this isn't even a secret thing anymore, there are massive groups of people behind these. They had to move out of country with a few of them to avoid legal troubles.

I'm kind of hoping that Diablo becomes Blizzards big title again, because they fixed the poo poo and brought the game to consoles. It's their only series with a growing user base.

I'd be interested to see just how many people are playing on private servers if there's ever a way to do an actual census, but yeah it's not even remotely close to WoW's playerbase now, let alone exceeding it.

Most of the people who quit WoW just... quit WoW.

I should clarify, I meant server activity. IIRC The Dalaran Wrath servers have a few thousand people compared to most live servers which are averaging 500.

But yeah you're right most people just quit wow and never go back.

I think the US server population is around 2-3 million in total for the live servers. Personally speaking though everyone who I knew played the game quit it.

Yeah, that's probably fair. WoW's never done server merges have they? Since they know it will game the game look weak, however necessary it would be.

They did a quasi merge with server groups all being poured into one mega server making sure that if you're on a PVP server you're not even getting out of the starting zone or being able to quest.



And forget about rare spawns, they're so heavily contested I'm surprised they have not decided to rework the mechanics so they're group tag drops.

I kind of want Starcraft 3 to be Valkyria Chronicles with space marines.

Or atleast the next non WoW Warcraft game since the movie is coming up. Combine Brutal legend and Valkyria Chronicles.

That big drop in the east was when China shut down Warcraft and a bunch of players in fully decked out gear all went to under city to lay their characters to rest in a tomb.

nice. i wanted to get some gear on my other characters but i have the absolute worst luck with lfr. i also dont like how lfr is designed right now where it's basically yet another version of the same content on the gear treadmill.

for those unfamiliar, heres basically how you get geared on a fresh 90 in wow:
do timeless isle -> do siege LFR -> do siege flex -> do siege normal -> do siege heroic

Hello there.

So we apparently had a problem a few days ago with regards to what is acceptable in todays society when it comes to young girls. Normally, everyone would come to the agreed upon conclusion that a dude did something hosed up and would be removed from our community with no qualms or issues with it. For some loving reason, theres a contingent of goons that don't agree and feel the need to voice that disagreement when it comes to said young girls. I really hate to break this to you, but your poo poo is going to get trolled all to hell when this poo poo happens. It's going to get trolled loving ruthlessly and I'm going to let it happen because it *needs* to happen.

Unfortunately, when this happens, the defenders of said gentleman that takes advantage of a very young girl lack the mental capacity required of self reflection and post poo poo like this:



I've been told that the people in power of Goon Squad, BobFromMarketings old guild, have apologized for their brief lapse in judgment. I've been told that they now realize the error in their ways that what that dude did is loving disgusting and there is literally 0 loving excuse to ever try to defend it. Even if you're really loving old and try to use some kind of idiot semantics argument about "well in the old days this was normal you see and accepted as well so anyways bring back slavery", you were wrong and dumb so don't get bent out of shape when you get trolled.

This is more words than I really cared to post about a loving MMO video game that *WILL* die in a span of a 6 months or less because lets face it guys, MMOs aren't really setting the world on fire anymore. I just want to leave with this though: I feel like we've got rid of the dude from the forums, and the forums are all I care about in this situation. This thread is for you to talk about the game, maybe organize some poo poo even though you already have offsite forums, and whatever game related. This thread isn't for your wacky hosed up opinions about a creepy dude and why what he did was acceptable in medieval times. If you don't have lovely views on things, you won't get trolled. This is a fact of life.

ArcheAge's end game is competing with 200 other players to get mob tags to get one of 6 different drops. You need 2800 of these drops to fill your 4 weapon slots. Half the time other players can also kill you while you're trying to achieve this task.
