109258-possible-reduction-in-server-s

== Content ==
			
Hello Carbine,
         I just wanted to see if it might be possible to reduce the numbers of servers in the near future? I am not asking for an immediate change. I just want to see if it is something that might be considered. Some of the servers are appearing to dwindle in size. I do not think it is a bad thing or scaring me away from the game at all. I just see the large successful guilds transferring to the larger servers. I currently play on a PVP server and the Pergo server is the larger server by far with *Widow* (EDIT) right behind it. Well with the larger and better guilds transferring to Pergo and Pago. That is leaving the smaller PVP servers in a not so pleasant place. Thayd population is dwindling (there is no more instanced areas) on Bloodsworn. Well it is making it very rough to find replacements for raids in 20m because there is so few people on the server in general. Well what are we supposed to do when we get to 40m content because the numbers of players to choose from is VASTLY smaller. Which ultimately leaves us with one option and that is to merge guilds with the only other successful guild on our server. Which isn't optimal by any means. 
 
Now with the guilds that are left on the server trying to progress are running into the same issue and so instead of merge. They are going to transfer to the bigger server and still possibly merge with a guild there. That makes the servers we call home, condition continue to get worse. It is going to force the people that want to see all the content to pay money and go to the larger servers. This collapse of the smaller servers could cause people that would continue to play the game and pay to leave because not large enough population. I would love to see if something could possibly be done before it gets too late and we lose those good players due to player number deficiency.
 
On all of the small servers there are "Server Merge Petitions" going on. It is getting to the point where the players have to do this or pay. Why not merge all the smaller servers and have 3 PVP NA servers. Or merge all the PVP servers into 2 total servers. You know they can handle it. The smaller servers active population has dropped by 60-75%. I want to continue to play this game because I love the PVE experience. Please don't wait too long and lose even more players. Just look at the divide here in the bottom on server numbers. I just hear people mentioning and starting to quit the game and the #1 reason is the server is empty. No one is on, arena ques( cross server I know) are small, but no one to choose from to make the team succesful. If we were able to have a few larger servers people would want to stay. I want the game to survive and make it because I like it so much. We just keep losing good raiders due to the server size. There is nothing to do outside of raiding because there is no one to do it with. PLEASE PLEASE respond and let me know what is going on so when people start mentioning quitting I can give them a light at the end of the tunnel

There needs to be something done.
 
But not necessarly for the servers themselves but for the same identical threads opening every day, for starters.

			I see the other posts now and DAMN there is a lot of them. I usually don't come into general discussion area. Well I guess I just make my case and see what others think.

Where'd you pull these guild progression numbers from?
 
Actual guilds progressing in GA (slightly below reality because some guilds don't submit their kills):
Pergo(PVP) - 25 guilds
Bloodsworn(PVP) - 6 guilds
Pago(PVP) - 7 guilds
Warbringer(PVP) - 5 guilds
Widow(PVP) - 13 guilds
Rowsdower(PVP) - 5 guilds
 
Not to mention several of these guilds have more than 1 group getting kills in GA.

Thank you for the update. I was using the individual servers GA progression update. It looked like Pago had a few guilds that just started in GA this week. No big bosses down but some minibosses. It could be false info. Thank you for info on Widow. I could not find it anywhere. So I need to edit my post. Widow is #2 PVP server.
 
Bloodsworn is losing it's #1 guild to merge with another guild on Pergo for 40m content I believe. The transfer hasnt happened yet. But it is possibly in the works.

Wildstar logs will show all the guilds in all the servers.
 
That link it to Caretaker

Seriously though, where did you go for your kill numbers?  Only place I know of to look is wildstar-progress.com.  There are likely many more raid groups going that aren't on there because they:
1) Haven't killed any bosses
2) Don't want to publicly submit kills
3) Don't know where to go to submit kills

Exactly the reason I tried to use the forums for each server where some guilds that don't use logs post as well. I am just trying to demonstrate the drastic difference in servers. Some of the smallers servers guild have quit and/or transferred servers to merge with another guild for 2x20m's so when they complete 20m they can move into 40m. Right now our server is not populated enough to be able to recruit 15 more people for 40m. That is what spurred this whole post and etc. If they keep the servers to empty and dry, they will lose people at a much greater rate than if they condensed now and kept them fully populated. Even if it is bad publicity to shut down/merge servers this soon after release.
 
Don't spite the body to save the face!!!!

			Pago only has 7 guild progressing in GA, and one of them is world #2 in DS? That's pretty awesome.

I am sorry, I have not seen any of the forums posts like this or I probably would of just said something in there. But hopefully maybe the #'s of the post will make them realize. I just want to keep playing the game so damn bad that if all the good players keep leaving and no more people being injected into the servers (only the larger ones) then that would cause lots more to quit. If we consolidated the servers then maybe those players wouldn't quit because there server is a desolate place.

The reason you didn't see them is because one day Carbine decided to lock them all. You can search for them and see dozens of them locked.
 
Many people including myself didn't bother to post again.
 
I'm not sure why they aren't locking these threads now.
