TOO MANY SERVERS! Merge please!!!

[Scypheroth]

We need a server merge...seriously you guys have 140+ servers!!! YOU DONT NEED THAT MANY!!! HELL 90% of the servers are all LOW population and you guys lock character creation on them!?!?!? My server 00088 has low pop and hardly NO ONE is on maybe 30 ppl TOPS if that on a good day NO one does events NO ONE does prime wars because NO ONE shows up....

You guys need to do server merges ASAP OR open up all the servers to more char creation!

Low population just means that the number of created characters on that server who are playing at that moment is low.
There is a hard limit on the number of player characters that can be created on a server.
Once the server hits that limit, character creation is stopped. It prevents too many characters from being created and lagging the server for everyone.
See that little Search bar over yonder? --------------->

Use the Search next time and you're likely to find the answer you're looking for instead of forcing others to tell you yet again.
Search bar. What an amazing tool humans have created.

i didn't ask a question, i stated what they need to do! So maybe get off your high horse thats rammed up your rear and try to not be a complete pile of human garbage and waste of life? PPL will respond to you better! No one likes a smart ass, and you took the crown.

Contrary to what some believe, the server situation is far more likely to kill the game than any wipe. I can't imagine the devs wouldn't know about it already though.

Many of the servers def feel like ghost towns. Use to be I would run up to blackfell and could switch through the 10 worlds and find and buy literally anything in game I wanted.

Now all i see are empty machines and tumbleweeds

By design players will always see an enormous server list filled with a variety of seasonal campaigns for individuals to choose from, all staggered with different start and end dates. That's on top of the PvE and PvP choice. The community was always going to be horribly fractured like this.

This situation is not likely to improve with the next season like some players are hoping, it's probably going to get worse - because now we'll have multiple PvE and PvP scenarios instead of just one for PvE and one for PvP.

I'd like to think they're monitoring the levels of activity in each bracket and only open an appropriate amount for each subsequent season.

That way, next week when all the oldest servers come to an end, we'd see half the amount open for season 2 - condensing the active player base and making for healthier pops.

I will always agree with posts like these. The stupidiest most mobile way to do servers. Absolute garbage that needs a fix asap

[Neneko]

Unless they can fix the lag wars, then no, 20 players in the same area and the server goes haywire but you want them to merge server now, absolute madness.

Personally what I think they should have done (and should do) is utilize the feature they already implemented into the game; the teleporter and use of other 'worlds.' There should just be one server per region, i.e. North America, China, etc. Each person should be able to use the teleporter and go to the designated 'world' we want to go to, the teleporter is like a lobby, and the worlds are like servers, lock the player into the server for 7 days so people cant abuse it and move around a whole bunch. This way it's just one giant server and friends can join as they need be, if there's a limit on one of the worlds, then those people in that world should be given an opportunity to transfer to a different world before their 7 days expires so they can join their friends.

Many MMOs already do this. One server, multiple instances of that server, and these are one-server games. It's not difficult, this developer seems to think it is.

I expect some changes at the start of the new Season, lets see what happens.

Sorry but you're wrong. It seems the only way to push issues to the top of the devs to do list is to flood them with the same complaint over and over again. e.g. the ♥♥♥♥ storm HD2 went through not too long ago.

I dont think they put much thought into it at all. When you open the shop you can quickly see where most of the man hours went. How to squeeze the community for every cent they can.

Most cosmetics can only be bought as sets and most of the sets cost as much as entire game. Functions that should be free like changing the look of your character are locked behind a paywall, "excuse me what?"

I'm having my fun with the game right now and I would like to buy some cosmetics but I cant justify the cost.

In it's current state the game is just keeping me busy until Space Marine 2 goes live

I don't care if you didn't ask a question.
That's the information that matters.
Accept it or uninstall.
Those are your choices, kiddo.
Welcome to reality.
