Dyvet Poll - Merged NF areas across different servers?

[eble@work]

Can anyone confirm a poll is up on Dyvet asking for votes on merging the NF areas?

Might be an idea of the GOA GM to e-mail all old players inc myself to tell them we ’might’ be merging NF with populated servers.

I’m sure a few people including myself would reconsidering subs then and the overall population of Dyvet might increase.

It’s only by chance I came to FH and I clicked the linked by mistake about 10 mins ago.

Cheers

hi eble dex here

/https://forums.freddyshouse.com/general-discussion33/226018-login-pol-dyvet-server.html

asked the same sort of question in general bit but no one really seems to look in there so heres a link .



it is.. about a 6 question poll as ya log in asking if ya want.

like leave NF as it is but the area made smaller or leave it as it is but cluster the server with a foreign server, or somit like go back to OF, was a lot of different ideas,
maybe some 1 has some been listening to the community the last few months. not sure if zee germans are getting the same poll.
if so then it would be wierd asking them if they want to merge rvr areas with other foreign countries seeing as their own rvr has a nice population.

 

[Stallion]

the poll is not server specific, all who log on to a GoA run server will get it

 

[luribeauty]

Tha poll is just feedback for mythic,I got that one not so long back when logging in on us server's,myself im quite happy on us server's.Got more money,friends and also made my own vid.

This is certainly a very optimistic move by GoA. I think it makes sense to cluster Dyvet RvR zones with other clusters because this will in turn bring players back to the game, therefore the PvE population will also grow again.

Of course, there are issues. For example, whether the other foreign clusters would be willing to merge with small ones such as the english cluster. I'm not so sure they will. About the New Frontier zones, well I'd welcome a change back to Old Frontiers (although I don't think the poll mentioned that) or even a reduction in size. The frontiers seem almost like a PvE zone to me as they are heavily clustered with mobs in places and terrain not suitable for fighting in.

Whatever the opinions on this poll, it is certainly a very interesting one...

well news is coming today on chronicles gonna wait up see what they have to say about it.

Why would they not be willing? A cluster of the big servers with the lower populated ones would mean alot of people from the low pop cluster/server would come back and play their old toons. A cluster of Dyvet with bigger servers is probably the best thing they could do, would bring back alot of old players to the cluster.

its the same poll that was on US servers like 1 week ago

 

[eble@work]

Thanx for the replies people.

I'll keep an eye on this is it proceeds tho I doubt anything will be done before WAR is released which in itself will mean the end to large numebrs of players in these EU servers.

If rvr zones were clustered im quite sure alot of people would come back to play their RR'd chars

 

[Eeben]

i would come back for sure if they did this!!

This poll got me interested. It's a bit late to take action, this is something which EU servers needed a year ago. Seriously though, what can Mythic actually do? The situation for EU and US servers are both unique.

Mythic can do a final cluster for ToA servers in the future if the population drops again. After this they can't group any more players together as the rest are speciality rulesets. I doubt classic server players would be very happy if they were forced to merge with a ToA cluster. ToA/classic servers can't share a New Frontiers, as the rulesets are different.

Mythic's best solution is probably to reduce the area and make NF fun, otherwise it'll cause problems later on when they can't cluster again.

Now, take a look at EU servers. The majority of the 7,500 online players are all on ToA servers (only 100 on classic and pvp), the only problem we've got are language barriers for servers. Yet again we can't merge servers further, although the potential for a shared New Frontiers would be great - assuming they could do that with multiple languages.

So, the ideal solution for both sets of servers is different. What will Mythic consider?

Oh so voting for OF rollback

/edit, I'm sure reverting back to OF will mean alot more subs. I personally never understood why NF was kept for this long, a walking dissaster is what it is. Sure I too did enjoy the 8v8 part with NF but that had more to do with balanced and fun / exciting 8v8 then the pathetic excuse of a RvR landscape NF really is!

OF had its child-diseases but all that had to been done was copypaste landscape to make the main rvr areas scale better to the growing population and to add 1-2-3 more milegate exists out of each "enemy" portal keep to ease the frustrating of the "AMG alb zerg".

I will surf the zergs and ding rr10 on my gimped ass wizard! Finally! xD

Septina, I was referring to whether the foreign clusters would be willing to merge their RvR zones with Dyvet. As for myself, I would love that to happen although I am a bit sceptical as to whether the Germans and French would

And i was simply asking as to why anyone would be negative towards getting a population boost to their server.

 

[Raven]

to be fair, would you want the ***** that killed dyvet to join your cluster?

I can live with that, I just want to play my old toons again on a server with more than a 20 primetime population.

 

[DeathsBows]

well they put it on fridays news now...

The survey that was announced in last week's reporter appeared in game on Thursday, so you have until Monday to reply if you haven't done so already. You will have seen that we proposed to combine servers of different languages. Of course it is only a matter of combining certain less populated servers with others, and not all the European servers. You should know however, that the server clusters can only be in one language. A British client can be used on a German server, for example, but the majority of in-game information (such as quests or names of items) will be in German, only the interface will be in English. Besides, the use of a client from one language with a server of another can cause some minor bugs.

Whatever happens, servers clusters are not the main topic of this survey, since it is also about the content in New Frontiers. The subject can be investigated further in another survey, exclusively geared towards seeing if we shall in fact implement servers cluster, and what way we can go about it.


well at least they are thinking about the problem with low populated servers and different langauge problems when clustering

 

[Haldar]

we'll see.....

 

[Septina]

Bet your ass that if this poll actually goes through they will cluster dyvet with deira. xD

Cluster dyvet with the other EU servers. Its the only way to keep it going in the long run. Who cares if i can't read the in game info 100%. Its the lack of enemies and low population atm on dyvet that isnt working...we can manage with the language barrier. After all, isn't the european union all about intergration?

 

[Meril]

Wtf, dident they say that they was unable to to that .. cluster servers that is ... cant trust em! dont giv em anymore money!!!11

 

[eble@work]

My main fear is they will decide to follow Mythics lead on the new 'NF' and wait for Mythic to patch up the US servers meaning you won't see anything on EU servers until about December 08 as were always about 3 months behind on patches.

With WAR out and people wanting to the try the next big thing, could spell the end for a lot for what we have been after for so long.

It's a crying shame but what can you do.

"they" didn't....requiel did. The more I hear about this shambles the more I see how utterly useless the guy is and how doomed Warhammer is with him in charge.

 

[Shamealot]

Well i think it is a good option to do so. But a bit late.....

 

[Netcode]

Just words as usual
Sounds little to good, but i guess when they saw how the roxx US did they open their eyes?

 

[Arethir]

Oi, hehe, my daoc acc was still active :X So I got to vote CLUSTEEEEER! Although, I guess it really wouldn't change alot, as my acc's been open for months now, without me using it :/ Even with ToA'd chars on .de servers!

I had a conversation with Roaken, he said a same thing.
