More Servers "Missing"

[Captain Sharktooth]

That is really weird! Also I was just about to start a thread about that too! I hope it is just a glitch, because less servers = more people per server. On a side note at least Levica is still there! That is my favorite server.

Oh also, the Pixies guild server, Camaros is gone too

[Catherine Ironcutter]

Seriously, keep in mind not EVERYONE wants a solo server. Other people are probably jumping for joy that there will be more people on each server.

Trust me. You'll still be able to find servers where you only find one or two people in a hour of playing. This isn't the end of the world.

Of course, I prefer quiet servers, since I like to go to Tormenta and pound on the enemies there for hours at a time all by myself (I've gotten a couple of really nice famed there so far, actually...) Fragilles is my server of choice, followed by whatever quiet server the Pixies have chosen as the server of choice for the day. But if a couple of other people happen to be pounding on the Thralls? I'll go to the bridge. It's not a big deal. Make a list of favorite looting places, and run through them on your server until you find someplace with nobody there. If there's one person at Darkhart? Ask if you can join them. More people equal faster looting. Remember that

Great....Now our guild has got to find a new server to hang on.

As much as I'd love to agree with you, I can't. For one thing, most people would simply go to Vachira or Andana or places of the sort, which are the more populated servers. Also, like many others, I choose to work alone - without strangers to bother me.

I'm sure there are logical reasons for the several Server removals we've had, but I hope "We want people to socialize!" is not one of them...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, though...

Yeah, I agree with you. Isn't there another way they could reduce lag or?

[ruisen2000]

lol, I think POTCO is trying to hide the fact that there's not a ton of ppl playing POTCO anymore...
Man thats a short list of servers remaining!

[JM Ohara]

Ok so I talked to Live chat about this while I was asking about a different issue. At first I got a very interesting response.

"We are not allowed to comment on server removal at this time. Where did you hear about the server removal."

*Scratches head* I said to him, Um, the in game list? I proceeded to list a few of the missing servers.

So the live chat guy says to me, The removal of the servers is the finishing of the removal from last fall. We hope you will enjoy the new format (blah blah blah)

In short, as with the other removal, this too is permanent. DRAT!

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Good job Disney! You have once again succeeded in making your players less than satisfied with your game. Keep up the work so you can continue to make us upset!

[Captain Del]

I highly doubt these removals are due to lack of money, nor lack of players. I don't see why every time POTCO does something to reduce the game, people suddenly jump on the Dooms Day wagon, while when they release a new update, people are all rejoicing. If POTCO had no money, then why would they be working on Infamy, when they could work on their finances?

The sad thing is that they are probably doing this, for the "Everybody be social!," reason, especially with Infamy coming along. But honestly, it's not like you can never ever find an open spot in-game. Now the server list is pretty much even - instead of it being 30% being Ideal, and 70% being Quiet, it's closer to 45 - 55.

And for those of you that are concerned, I just walked by three completely empty servers, out of the three Quiet servers I randomly went to. Enjoy.

[Crestshot]

It still seems rather ridiculous. I mean, they JUST did a server removal. If it was something like lag, I could understand that. If it was something like money, I could understand that, but it's like Del said; they've obviously been working hard on Infamy, and other good updates over the past year. It sounds as if they have the money to do that, rather than concentrate to severely on their finances.

If it's for the "We want you to find new friends! Crew day, yay!!!!!!!!" they can find some other pirate. I'd rather not have more chances to get bugged, bothered, and abused over the internet.

And, on a personal note, Seriously Disney? Both Navermo AND Camaros? Partners and Pixies, ASSEMBLE!!!

[Tiberius Fireskull]

^You forgot Mosona. According to Del's list of remaining servers us Sorcerors need a new server too... count the Sorcerors in. We've had that server as ours since summer...

[titanic95594]

This is just great. No more quiet time in Tormenta anymore!

Exactly! They JUST removed a fair amount of servers. Even if they felt they had to remove a few more i would've been fine with that, but dang, they removed far too many! I was just logged on and there were more ideal servers than quiet ones. This will just create more problems among pirates who already cry about rep stealing, etc.

I will miss Cortos, that was a favorite of mine when i wanted quiet plundering...Camaros and Navermo were also among the 4 or 5 quiet servers i preferred.

I went on live chat earlier and asked them a few questions about the test server maintenance and the live servers being taken away. The rep told me that they are doing a heavy duty maintenance on test and the same to many servers on live. He said if the servers were gone for good then they'd announce it on the web site. However, do to his vagueness, the servers could be gone for good, though he made it fairly clear that they were coming back.

With this in play, and there being a maintenance on the servers, my GM brought up a crazy awesome idea....... PVP SERVERS!

Idk about you guys, but it all makes sense and links together. I think PvP servers would be the best thing to ever happen to PotCO.

[Tiberius Fireskull]

True that it is possible that they may be testing some PvP servers... but I'm not sure that they would take a bunch away, this many too. I would think that about five PvP servers would do...
