This only confirms my suspicion that the population was getting low for CoX and that
Paragon/NCsoft had to do something about it.
I'm glad that they saw the light and are taking the necessary steps to rectify the situation.
I had the transfer half of my toons to Freedom server just so I can find players to group with.
Thanks NCSoft/Paragon -
Quote:What I'm suggesting is only merging a few servers not all into 3 or 4. Just enough, to balance the servers. Only NCsoft knows these number they can easily crunch them and come up with a fair amount of servers. Just at the top of my head 3-4 servers need to go away. There are 11 right now and only 2 of them are in yellow most of the time, Virtue and Freedom.Originally Posted by Stray Kitten
Just to throw my two cents in, you know the lag you get on the ITF missions 3 and 4 and the lag you get from raids? Those are there because of server load. In otherwords, those happen when the server is getting hit with too much info to process everything in "real time". If they merge the servers, that would either a) become worse or b) force them to invest in new server technology that can handle the higher load. While (b) isn't a bad idea from the player's perspective, server hardware is in no way cheap (Don't believe me? See what kind of hardware you have to have to handle 500 simultaneous users, not even counting all the math that these servers have to do because of the server generated physics and drop tables) meaning that business wise, it would require them to sink an untold sum of money into this proposed merger, thus meaning less money to pay the developers, thus meaning less new content, *insert other dominoes that this would cause to fall*. -

Why is there so much doom and gloom regarding a server merge? It seems to me: that it would be a win/win situation for both the subcribers and NCSoft. More activity for the subcribers and less overhead for NCsoft.
Why do we need so many servers, when the subcriber base is so much lower, than what it was, during the peak years.
More active servers will make the game more enjoyable for all subcibers. How can NCSoft facilitate more activity with its current subcriber base? Even Stevie Wonder can see: These servers need to be merged. There has got to be plenty of ways to merge servers and still allow veteran characters to maintain thier old home server idenity ( badges Titles etc).
IMHO: It makes obvious buisness and customer support sense, to merge servers, and Do it soon.
The Grill Master!
game looks alive with Legions and such. Warhammer was another mmo that had so many
servers that the world looked deserted and empty besides the Npc. So they Merged servers.
This is something that NCsoft needs to at least consider or maybe they are and we don't know it yet. nuff said -
I hope the Developers are working on more travel power abilities for Heroes.
It would give players a chance to roll a new toon. Or respec them to be able to choose new
travel powers. -
I know that the economy is not so hot right now. But coming back to
CoH after about a year on the Champion server has been disappointing.The population is not what is use to be.
I go on the Freedom And Infinity servers and the population seems to be thriving.
I think that Paragon studios is going to have to take steps and maybe merge some servers.
I bought GR and I can tell you that is practically a ghost town except for the NPCs.
I don't want to transfer all of my toons cause is going to cost me a pretty penny.
