109680-what-is-this-games-player-population

== Content ==
			
So I am new to this company. The last mmo I played seriously was ffxi and ffxiv... Despite the language barriers of their devs, they were always very good at communicating with the players and giving out info like player census reports.Does this game not have that? I've tried finding what the player population is and can't... Do they make that secret or something? Why? This is silly that it's so difficult to find an answer to such a simple question.The reason I'm concerned is because I have invested a lot of time and money into this game. But I know when to cut losses. Lately, I can't find enough people to do any pvp anything at all. There's nobody around half the time. It is just feeling... barren... Dead.... Like I'm logging into Diablo 2 or something.So... wtf is going on? I've never played an mmo that didn't have players like this. As I type this I'm going on my third hour in a pvp queue and nothing. Bone... Dry...Is this game dead? Should I get out now before I sink anymore time/money into it? Or is there a comeback in the works? Something to drum up subs?The REAL sad part is that I'm on storm talon... And people keep telling me it's one of the -more- populated servers... If that really is the case... Then just how bad is this game doing?And if a dev reads this...  GIVE US SERVER MERGES DAMNIT. Everyone is saying in game that the populations could fit into just 1 pvp and 1 pve server
 
... Maybe if you did that, the game wouldn't feel desolate?

Forums down for hours ... and this is the very first thread once it comes back up.

It's all because people picked the Realms with the cool names.
 
Carbine should change the name of "StormTalon" to "CareBears" and people won't be able to transfer off fast enough.
 
You'll see!

			Okay so we have TWO people that can't read.Let me break this down for you foos.I'M ON STORM TALON.IT IS STILL DESOLATE MOST OF THE TIME.I'm talking about a MERGING of SERVERS.Or is this game trying to pioneer the single player mmo model?

Yeah. I read just fine. You're complaining about population and asking for merges, right? I did read that part, didn't I?
 
There have been DOZENS of threads, just like yours ... Let me say that again, JUST LIKE YOURS ... in the last few days. You aren't posting some epic new topic and honestly, ten seconds of looking around would have told you that.
 
And yet, I'm the one with a reading problem?

No queue pop for pvp at 4am?!? Crazy. 
Are you queued for sabotage? Lol
 
Stormtalon is decent for population but it's an Na server. 4am isn't the time to expect action.

			4 am nothing.I queue from about noon til a couple hours later, than again through the prime time.And apparently, yes, reading skills here ARE broken....You people say whatever you want. My experiences in this game are reflecting the fact that this game sorely needs new players. I can like the game all day long, but if there's nobody to play the group oriented content with, then it's no better than broken atariAnd stop telling me to go to a pvp server. They added the content on both servers. And I'm not about to put more money into this game just for a server transfer, especially not with their ridiculous prices for it... 20 bucks a character? Yeah I could go buy a whole new game for that. Of course if they had a lot of players, they wouldn't need to gouge so much out of each one... Box fee... Sub fee... Credd transactions... Not to mention the people that get coaxed into server transfers.This is what I get for posting on these forums though. A bunch of blind fools that wanna defend everything wrong with a game until it collapses.Games hemorrhaging subs and you're stupid if you think it's the honeymoons over kinda situation... It's because of all the bugs and one of the worst support teams in the industry, driving all the players off. That and a major lack of innovation for it not being 2001 anymore.Pft, I saw a trailer for some indie game called no mans sky. Looks like REAL innovation. Wildstar is just the opening band for the main stage at this point... And the strings on his instrument broke... Can't wait for the mmos on the horizon to come out... I'm clearly just setting my expectations too high expecting this wow clone to retain a healthy playerbase.It's no fun standing around waiting 3 hours in a queue. That's a shitty game.

			PvP is beyond broken right now, no reason for most people to even queue anymore. I've been PvE'ing lately, waiting for PvP to be fixed

			Since we've already got another thread on population and server merges going here - https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/108705-carbine-please-help-the-empty-servers/, I'm going to lock this one up.
