A propositon for fixing populations

[GB.]

[quote=Captain River;888952]Sometimes it really just seems like you don't read the Devs posts. You had been pushing for server transfers for ages, and when they finally decide to do something about it, you just bash their efforts that most everyone else agrees with as being a great step in the right direction. They have stated several times that the server merges weren't about cutting costs and more about having high concentration of players in fewer places instead of sparse populations spread out (which is also very harmful for the game -- How many times have you heard someone say "no one is ever on, this game is dead". Server merges will remove that perception).

Yes server transfers.

You also seem to ignore the fact that they said they have increased server stability making their servers to support larger populations than before. So why would they need to open more servers when two will work just fine?

Support more populations? Proof please.

They have stated more than once they they are doing something about LSBs. Wouldn't you rather have them do something that has been tested and known to work, as opposed to just launching something to meet forum demand? While LSBs might be frustrating at times, making the situation worse by a change made on haste. Time and time again I see people saying "why haven't they changed this" despite the fact that we know the changes are coming.

Stating perhaps but sadly not soon enough to prevent server mergers.

Again, they need to change things for the better, not just change things. They can't use live servers as a testbed and, as with avcom and other changes, if they do it wrong, it could screw everything up. Major changes to the game need to be done thoughtfully and correctly, not just rushed through the door.

I have been saying this for what seems ages, temporary band-aids only give FLS a few months more time at most.


I really appreciate your love for the game and the fact that you're so active in the forums and the test bed, as well as a strong supporter of promotional efforts. I do find it tiring to read your pessimistic posts about FLS efforts and personal changes you wish to see being reflective of general consensus, which in the case of server mergers, is just not the case.[

Then don't read player suggestions, I am more than complimentary, some would say fanboish on other forums.
I have no intention of being quiet until populations show signs of real improvment, server merges looks like another temporay band aid, they did it before & it never worked.
