Honestly, I agree with the original poster in this. I'm sure there are some great servers, but on my server, while it's not dead, it's certainly not exciting. There are no new people. No one to recruit. People flee every time a new server opens and leave dead weight. 17 people for a world boss fight is good? This constitutes the need for a new server? How about a server where you can have more than one guild per realm? Or maybe a server where it means something to get into one of the top guilds because you earned the right to be there, not because you're so starved for live bodies, you have to take anyone with a pulse?
Philosophically, I hate mergers. I despised it on Evony, for sure. And I get that as a new player, you don't want to be stuck looking infantile next to the heaviest hitters on the server. This says to me that there is something of a balance issue with the game as a whole. People are sitting all day just poking at this and that, but not actually engaged once you get to a certain point. You have to spend days and weeks to get past one heroic realm boss. You spend days getting past a quest boss. You can't upgrade your equipment unless you sacrifice your firstborn to the gods of chaos math. Honestly, it's a bit of a bore. And that's a real bummer for me because I came into this game really excited to play it.
It's not about having constant new material. I realize that comes in pieces as the playerbase gets stronger. There's just this utter limbo that is frankly not exciting at all. I can be very patient and work toward achieving something, but sitting and rotting most of the day and only being able to accomplish something for a whopping hour or so isn't really part of a good game experience in my book.




also, might I add, Morgan its not just me...
