Server Merge, Reduced Shards, New Patch Schedule Info

[Shamiah]

This was posted on Discord. Putting it here for those that don't use Discord:

We are reducing the number of shards for the larger servers. Havensong, Black Moon, Whispering Lands, and Aevos will all be reduced by one shard.

Today during maintenance, we did some backend work in preparation for potential server merges. We will be taking snapshots of the server populations over the next few days and will evaluate early next week. When we have a full plan, we will share with the community.

In addition, we will no longer be utilizing weekly patches. Game updates (data or content) will still happen on Wednesdays, but they won't be every Wednesday. The plan is to move toward periodic updates, much like our previous Seasonal format. A roadmap with production goals is currently being reviewed and we hope to have that to the community soon.

Three months in and reducing servers already? Game is dead.

Needs to be finished before I consider it dead.

Reducing shards is not good. Extra shards are very helpful for people to find camps that are open. Why remove them?

So they can pay less for servers of a dead game.

finding a camp on aevos is a bit of a chore now.

Not a great look.

Good thing they are splitting the small community even more,
with the addition of "PvP" that all 5 people asked for, instead of you know..
FIXING the slow, tedious and boring basic gameplay — which leads to basically nothing.

Looks like you don't value your own time and have very low-standards for MMOs.

Only because you are for some reason taking your own opinion as a measure of what is fun for others. I cannot empathize with your confusion. I have never for a moment been unaware that others like different things, at least since attaining consciousness.

And this is a very early access test bed, not an MMO.

For someone claiming to have consciousness you seem oblivious to the fact that Pantheon is infact an MMO.

I'm not so sure about that. Massively implies quite a few people and today it didn't even break 3000 concurrent players.

On a couple of the larger multi shard servers, at off peak times, we were way too spread out. Its much hard to find or form groups when people are spread out over 3 or 4 instances. Chat does not cross instances so finding these groups is super hard if you are not in a guild and on Discord.
