Righty prydwen isnt exactly the most active server in the game :twak: so im gonna ask a lil question :) answer with 1 or 2,3 or your view on it :clap:



1. Give prydwen /level 30 in all realms for 1-2months to boost the servers population?.


2. Give prydwen /level 40 in all realms for 1-2months to boost the servers population?.


3. Give prydwen /level 30 in all realms and an rp boost per kill :D i dunno like extra 25% per kill for 1-2months?.



4. Your view



Altho it would be taking them away from other servers i still think those others servers could survive =( i mean cmon prydwen gonna be extinct at this rate.

Prydwen needs 500 or so more players in my view, the reason why the population is low is probably because the game was being sold from very few retailers in the uk and hardly advertised here.(since it's an english server so that could be the main reason)

Advertising could boost the server population a bit when NF comes maybe GOA could do this, i really do not know, i think prydwen will never get over 2000 players regularly sadly :/

It's going to need a fair amount when NF comes since the areas look big.Level 40 option is a nice idea but i do not think we can have it unless mythic enables it? or i might be wrong, goa rep could clarify this.

Although it may boost the Emain zerg population, I don't think it will increase the quality of the game. In fact, anyone below level <insert the agreed /level proposal here> will have an harder time leveling up because all those alts have done <insert the agreed /level proposal here> by then, this effect would last for 2 weeks up to 5 or so.

Ah but saying that the numbers of the players that may or may not join prydwen is unknown :) if there is an even number its quite easy to lvl up from lvl 30 or 40 with a fixed guild grp or regular grp :D and even certain alts of main chars have problems lvling due to not having a bb for moderna or a friend thats willing to let you leech.

making a game easier is not the right think to do as i see it, then more players will just leave. i think gamebalance is very important to keep both older players and new. at the moment this game is very unfriendly to new players. when i look on daoc-stats i can clearly see how there is a large amount of bot-accounts, its a bit scary... we need new players, people who havent played daoc before and who stays after the first month. more rp, easier leveling etc will just move players from one server to another and the dark age of dark age of camelot will just continue to be darker and darker.

4. Give Prydwen NF , because gank groups are the reason why rvr died off.
Watch snozski and alike /cancel after first week and laugh in joi. Pryd will be crowded as never before.

whats wrong with pryd? if one want more ppl zer.. RVRing, why not head excal? I dont get it. Imo it is already enough mids rvring, most albs dont dare to come out though unless they can stealth. People are still doing toa, yea.. still!, that expansion is to blame, not pryd. In hib i know half my guild still is in TOA, we have ML1 to 10 led by veno and he does raids with alot of ppl every day, ppl are still trying to get mt3 and stuff like that. When we are done with TOA, i guess catacombs will be out and force us into pve again :)

Not to mention all the tanks that will reroll to casters/archers when NF is here, means moooore time in TOA, its lovely innit? :)

advertising is the key and getting new subscribers.. but goa never have been good at it.. they havnt paid any attention to english adverts and hence the english population doesnt increase.. /level is never the answer

Pryd online pop used to average around 1900 lately its more like 1200-1500. Some will be seasonal. But the slow bleed of players will eventually mean that Prydwen gets to a level where it is no fun for the remaining subscribers.

GOA don't advertise in the UK and tbh they really need to. Using NF to base some advertising on for the UK is an ideal oportunity. Mythic are encouraging old players to come back with some freebies and GOA really ought to combine those two things to try to inject some life into Prydwen.

With the mother company Wanadoo they have behind them they can't really justify sayign there is no budget for advertising. Failing to advertise is just a head-in-the-sand attitude.

In the States Mythic intoduced the command that allows guildmasters to clean out old dead and totally inactive chars from their guilds without the need for them to be online.

GOA decided not to implement this on Euro servers. The only reasoning behind failing to give guildmasters the power to clean their own houses that I can see is that in allowing gms to do so, the true picture of active chars and guild membership woudl become aparent.

From being in a larger guild I strongly suspect that those guilds listing 90 members woudl find they had more like <30 if the guildmasters were alllowed to remove those chars and accounts they know are no longer playing.

If that is the reason behind it then GOA shoudl realise that fiddling the figures is fooling no-one ;)

Advertise the game, give away some incentives to get old players back and on a side note let europe gms have the ability to manage their own guilds and boot inactive chars, players and deleted chars.

You may not be able to blalance realms but you have the power to balance servers by flagging Excal as full and steering people towards pryd.

Dont know if this has been said already, but...

Mythic stated that /level commands made absolutely no difference to server populations on the US servers, and I happen to agree with that.

Leave Prydwen as it is, thanks.

Just an idea :)

Hib - Male, Female
Mid - Male, Female
Alb - Male, Female

Why not make it so they mate with each other :)

That will sort the population out :)
