I guess  I never actually thought about how a server merger would actually work but it actually wouldn’t work that well at all. So what do they do with those dead servers then?

No sub means gently caress you, thanks for the cash for this quarterly. Amazon is making a serious investment in games--see their newly leaked plans for "Vapor." Given the success of NW so far, there's no doubt they'll be quite happy to sell you $30 expansions every so often in the future. I mean, ESO is now...how old? Like 7, 8 years? No-sub games can do just fine over time as long as they have regular paid expansions and healthy cash-shop offerings.

If the numbers keep dropping at that rate, not gonna be good for this game. Today's numbers can obviously change given it's showing 00:00 UTC instead of the other days around 20:00 UTC for the final stats.

MarcusSA posted:I wonder what they raised the cap to this time. This guy talking about "oh my god, 1500 iron ore to make a set of orichalcum tools!" I can farm that myself in 40 minutes, and my pick doesn't have +15% resource from nodes like others I've seen, nor do I drink the potions that give another +7% yield on top of that, and probably an even better potion I don't have access to. You absolutely do not need low-level players to facilitate this, whatsoever. The reason given for servers not being mergeable really doesn't make sense to me, either. Oh no, someone is going to complain their pubbie zerg guild doesn't own all the poo poo they used to on their backwater server, they'll get over it. This guy is literally complaining that it's "fatiguing" to try to organize a giant pubbie guild so that your faction owns all the poo poo on the map. The high level "resource glut" he's talking about only exists because everybody on the entire server is simultaneously grinding their skill up from the low-level poo poo. I agree that the 3-way faction split looks like it could potentially be a disaster, for the reasons he described, but that's about it.

Last night we had the syndicate blatantly exploit the handin bug to declare war on three territories under the space of an hour, luckily it seems the wars are spaced out quite evenly for them so they won't be under resourced in trying to field enough people.

ESO was in worse shape at release than NW - hell it's still a mess in many ways and is basically a casual theme park MMO with broken PvP. It took ESO about 4 years to become a game sort of worth playing...

The territory may yet fall to purple anyways since they're abusing a rapid click exploit to multiply the impact of PVP mission turnins.

Plancta Covenant has a tradition now. Every time we win, we gather in the church and listen to Pope Zangrief (shirtless hero on the altar) give us a sermon on slaughtering innocents in the name of the spark. All hail.

This game feels like playing EVE’s faction warfare if you took out the PVP and it was designed by cowards who are terrified of losing. It’s a beautiful game with fun combat and an engaging grind, but there is absolutely nothing compelling or lasting. I think this game is dead by the end of the year if they don’t pull some magically huge content or mechanic updates out of left field.

Biowarfare posted:If you match week over week it doesn't drop. last thursday was 585k. This thursday is 587k. The bump is weekend - the other days match up pretty closely so far. We shall see, the thing is that up until the max count, there were huge queues on at least a dozen servers at all hours. The limiting factor a week ago was server capacity as they were still adding servers to handle demand. My backwater server had up to 600 person queues last Thursday. Today? Max population I saw was 1600 and at 11pm PST tonight there was not a single server with over 2000 people or a queue, so while the number actually playing might be the same, the total number *trying* to play has shrunk greatly IMO. We'll see over the next week or two for sure, but my own observations on my server tell me that the population is already declining rapidly.
