We aren't disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. We're stating what we believe in. I apologize if I came off as "aggressive" in any way, but I feel that I should have a right to preach my views with the charisma and gusto of any other poster or speaker, or whatever.

I see your point, and I'm willing to listen to what you have to say. But then again, our views should recieve the same respects.

There's no need for having a billion quiet servers, so I'm sure what they did was choose those that were the least populated, and cut them off. That way, they wouldn't anger nearly as many as if they cut of other, more frequented quiet servers (although frequented isn't a proper word to be used in context with "quiet," you know what I mean.)

I was walking around today, and I saw plenty of empty servers, with no signs of life. So for those that like to play on their own time, the options are still available.

I dont becaus ei hate lag and it hates me. Just like getting booted from ideal servers!

Im just worried about the servers during invasions.... o_o not pretty..

JM Ohara · #64 10-02-2010, 09:43 PM

I don't even need an invasion. I'm getting booted constantly from 'quiet' servers now. Three times got booted out of El Sud. So not running back there again.

I honestly have my highs and lows of this update. Im getting more complaints from people like " Can you please leave rep stealing NOOB i was here first " or
"dude if you dont leave im gonna report you" and "i work for dinsey you better get out of here NOOB" im getting tired of these lies and bickering.Also more lag,booted more often and rep stealing.Ive had enough!

On the other side you get Faster loading,Get to meet new pirates,less of a chance of not being knocked out. But from this some what minor change of the servers only few good things happen for us, Yet i bet dinsey is having one amazingly good time with saving money sooner or later there gonna have to put the servers back.

And therein lies the problem. In my opinion, your request isn't really a reasonable one. There is no way in the world that Disney will keep servers open so pirates can have their own private little islands. Period.

There are no "guild servers" and to say that cutting costs is a bad business move doesn't take into consideration that business is bad right now. But like so many other online games, the option to lease a server isn't a bad one. That way a guild could really have their own little sandbox to play in.

Slouyx and Del are right. This really is non-issue. I just logged off. Out of 57 servers, 23 were ideal and none were full. That leaves 24 basically empty servers. 2 1/2 years ago, half the servers wouldn't be empty. Ever. Business is a little slow right now and keeping dead servers open and paying for the maintenance and electricity and upgrades makes less sense.

But look at it this way. Faster, more streamlined updates are a real possibility, aren't they? Not to mention the loading times...

Chimera Doll · #67 10-03-2010, 01:01 AM

It is an issue though....
But yes, I am glad pirates can load faster. That's great!

I hope they bring them back in the future for I liked it when some servers were really quiet.

If the reduction in servers means more money to spend on game content work, then I'm perfectly fine with that, but only IF that's what they're doing. Of course there's no way of knowing what they're doing with the extra money since they don't have to maintain those servers; we can only guess, really.

J.T. · #69 10-03-2010, 03:54 AM

I'm fine with this myself, but they got rid of a server I visit a lot, Fraguilla, it looks like. Also making it harder cause there are less quiet servers, I stick to quiet to prevent lag.

Tiberius Fireskull · #70 10-03-2010, 04:12 AM

You guys say that there are faster loading times now... my loading times have gotten slower... and I'm running on a good computer, with good internet connection... I still hope they put about half the servers they got rid of back. Just half. There are too few now, but perhaps there were too many in the beginning.

MacIronhawk · #71 10-03-2010, 04:26 AM

Let's look at this from a logical stand point, for anyone saying the loading times are faster.

They've cut back on servers, meaning at least half of the servers are gone. They've also released the Raven's Cove quest, and added in new quest features, which drags the server loading down, because one person may be able to see Senor Clucks as the chicken, or as the ghost. That's some work on the server to be done.

Now, we also have to think, players have been condensed into a smaller area, meaning there's more players per server now than there was before the update.

Loading times aren't faster. I've noticed them to be slower by about 20 seconds on my computer. Loading was lightning fast before the update, but my loading speed went way down, almost scary low.

Tiberius Fireskull · #72 10-03-2010, 04:45 AM

^ Exactly! Since the fishing update, I noticed a slight decrease in my game performance. Once this came out, BOOM. Lag lag lag lag lag lag lag. Lag and loading screens that take at least twice as long as they used to. It started when the fishing update happened, so I'm almost positive it isn't my computer. If Disney thought cutting back servers would help increase lag, it isnt...

Isn't it just possible that they are cutting back in order to just keep the game going? Or to save a job or two on their team?

And are HALF the servers really gone? This isn't a dig or anything. I just don't have a feel for the number of servers they used to have, pre-Raven's Cove.

Dog Firestack · #74 10-03-2010, 02:14 PM

Maybe they're trying to get a dev or two to help with the development with the game instead of server maintenance.

Slouyx · #75 10-03-2010, 05:47 PM

I am not getting any decreased performance from the game. I rarely get lag on this game, and from what I've seen fishing and recent updates have done nothing to decrease game performance for me. I doubt removing servers had anything to do with decrease in game performance.
