• • Order Quiting?

  • Sure the populations on servers have dropped. Sure Mythic are offering free character transfers off low pop servers.

     

    I don't think that's enough. I think they should merge the low pop servers with med pops and close them down.

     

    At least they understand that this game doesn't work properly on low pop servers and are doing something about it so soon after release.

     

    I can't help but respect that, unlike another game developer who lost a lot of subscribers after launch and so far as I know even to this day have done nothing regarding merging servers 6 months after release.

     

    MMOs are all about the people and having people to play with.

     

    Mythic taking this kind of action now and ensuring that people get the most from the game will in the long run, create much better opinions of the game.

     

    The cost? Bad press concerning the fact that the overrestimated the number of servers they'd need to start with. Everyone makes mistakes, Mythic seem to be good at admitting them and fixing them ASAP.

    Yea I can see the developers conversation right now.

     

    Dev 1. Hmm the population imbalance is giving order a hard time. We better come up with a solution before people get fed up.

     

    Dev 2. Hmm...  I know how about we add the slayer class to order. They could use a few more "cool" classes to attract the masses.

     

    Marc. No way. There's absolutely no way we could implement them. It would be utter destruction to the games lore.

     

    Besides there is another game that mutilated lore in order to fix population imbalance, Turns out the vast majority of players don't give a rats ass about lore.

     

    Ultimately they have to get the approval of Games Workshop on things like this, after all it's not Mythic's IP.

    Therefore:

    Dev 1. Hmm the population imbalance is giving order a hard time. We better come up with a solution before people get fed up.

     

    Dev 2. Hmm... I know how about we add the slayer class to order. They could use a few more "cool" classes to attract the masses.

     

    Marc. No way. There's absolutely no way we could implement them. It would be utter destruction to the games lore according to our guy at Games Workshop. They didn't want us bastardizing the 25 years of hard work they've put in for a bunch of fat wankers who don't give a rats ass about lore. Sadly, Games Workshop do give a rats ass. Next.
