Prologue.
Before each user who decided to start playing, initial questions arise. As a rule, there are not many of them, but they are very important in the future. For example, what class to play, how to properly raise your character, and so on. Sometimes there are several servers in his game and one question is which server to start playing on. Each one makes a choice based on certain reasons. In my case, I considered two factors: 1 - this Loyal economy (the cheapest prices for popular goods) 2 - no lag in communication and sagging in the game. That is why I chose the 'Candus' server at that time it was the most profitable server.
Server problems.
In any game, of course, there are many problems. The Administration and the players themselves try to solve them if it is in their power. After reading the posts on the forum
I noticed that there are not so many dissatisfied, but the problem is described as an apocalypse. The main and probably the only problem that was voiced was the lack of active players. Before and after the server merger, the administration decided to merge the servers for two reasons (this is my personal opinion): 1 - combine the server to reduce the shortage of players. 2 - reduce their maintenance costs and other technical component. There are players on the forum who claimed that ping on all servers is normal and stable. This means that there are players who can play even on a dying server. Then the question arises why they do not go there?
Reasons for server crash.
Many people think that the problems are visible only to those whom they affect. However, this is fundamentally not the case. In my opinion, the players themselves are to blame for it. Since they created it themselves. There are a lot of players who have good ping on the NA server, and And newcomers can have good ping. However, it is impossible to play normally on the server since the economy is very terrible. Popular and popular goods on the server cost the same as on the Candus server or even more expensive. For any newcomer with such prices it is very difficult to play. To newcomers Bad.
Possible Solution.
In one game that I left there was a similar problem, but instead of the whole server there was a fraction problem. There were three fractions on the server, and at one time one fraction became very weak and could not participate in different events. The players simply went to another fraction, and Novices did not choose this fraction. The administration made the right decision and gave this weak fraction very good bonuses to help the players. This decision was correct but it was not enough. The administration could not do more since it was already an intervention in the game process In this case, different guilds in this fraction began to help newcomers and lower prices at the auction. Simply put, the players themselves also tried to raise their fraction. Perhaps in our cases the Administration thought about this, but what the players themselves do on the server .... The answer is simple - NOTHING. If the player stops crying on the forum and in addition to useless offers, they start dialogue inside the server and it will probably be useful with the Administration.
Epilogue.
Suppose I am mistaken and wrote a lie, but what the players themselves do to solve their own problem. If the Administration can at least somehow help, then this is only for the first time ... but it doesn’t matter what bonuses you get. The ratio of players on the server does not change Because they just want fresh meat, not a solution to the problem. The players who stay there do not want to lose what they have, and since there’s nobody else to kill, they just have to cry on the forum. There are now many players on the Candus server and very much It slows down and sags .... it’s difficult to play. So why don’t we pl Why on the forum creating dozens of posts on this problem.
P.S Well, admit my truth and shame the devil.
