This post should not be locked for any reason. There is a legitimate concern by the community for directions that the dev team is taking the game. Locking this post indicates that the devs are indeed NOT listening to the communities concerns and want to silence anyone that points that out.
 
*A gust of wind blows as a tumble weed rolls through the abandoned city. Kredos runs into the empty building scavenging for food and weapons in preparation for the OBVIOUS zombie apocalypse about to fall onto the empty city. But as minutes turn into hours...hours into days...days into weeks...and weeks into months....the zombies never arrive. Kredos eventually realizes...this isn't Day Z...its just empty*
 
As I was browsing for information on WHEN the megaservers happen...I noticed a similar theme in how the community responded to suggestions by the dev team. An example of this is one of the stickied threads on the top of the general forums in regards to megaservers. If you read the replies including on the first page...the majority of the community is DISAGREEING with the direction the dev team is taking the game. If you say "the devs are listening" in every video you post....then why do you not take the advice of the community you are listening to?
 
In another post I mentioned the lack of marketing for this game and how most people in other MMORPG's do not even know what Wildstar is. Some of the replies I received back is "It is coming!"....that sounds great and all...except for the fact that in November and December a ton of games are dropping including new MMO's and expansions. It's just hard for me to see how waiting on marketing is going to "help" the situation as new MMORPG's and existing juggernauts reemerge onto the scene....

Much people i know just arent logging until megaservers and fixes to classes are coming, they love the game but the 2-3 week vacation they take will recharge they desires to play with a improved game. I have seen this effect before,  1 month before an expansion in other mmo all servers are ghost towns and the day they launch its crowded.  
And well you say a lot of people disagree but dont say about what or how much and well i like the change, the medic ones (my class) seem great and give the flavor that we are lacking with the normalization of gamma rays, so your argument dont have a floor.

For the time being, it seems that the most populated servers are:
 
NA:
 
-Stormtalon (PVE)
-Pergo (PVP)
-Evindra (RP PVE)
 
EU:
 
-Hazak
-Ascendancy
 
The game will bounce back, and after the megaservers and drop 3/4 (I guess they're coming at the same time now) Carbine will most likely make another advertising push.  Take a look at the patch notes, they're pretty extensive.  From what I understand, Carbine wants to iron out some wrinkles before they start trying to entice people to join the Wilstar Community again.
 
Until then, you're missing the party on the above listed servers - that's where everyone seems to be these days :)

			We suposse are getting this next week, cause they already tested it in ptr. and not like the patch in the interviews they never changed the date frame for the megaservers.	
----
			It's a smart move, I agree with Srfrogg23 post. I imagine there marketing push probably won't happen till drop 4 to 5 seeing that they ought to fix all most of the bugs and then ensure the game meets up to all most people's expectations, such as Quality of Life changes. It really ought to have released at that point instead  of when it did but oh well, gotta live with what you did. So I expect the marketing push to be about drop 4-5, when the current community is satisfied with how the game is (besides problems regarding lack of critical mass).

I'm not getting what it is that you're pointing out, what direction are they going in that you don't like?
Is it megaservers? Do you think megaservers are a bad idea? :o	
----
			Thing is, people who are generally happy with the direction don't bother to argue about it. Their stated reasons for the change in schedule and the megaservers align with the VAST majority of feedback they were getting back before they announced those changes. The people complaining now aren't the ones complaining then, but on the whole there are a lot less of them, and it's too late anyway. The die is cast. These solutions take time though. Patience is something neither flavor of player has really exhibited.

			Since we actually have a main thread for megaserver feedback/concerns here - https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/topic/111868-megaserver-feedback-thread/, I'm going to lock this one up.
