LostCodex Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Hello, I just recently returned to the game because yesterday I received an email.. Hey.. APAC is "NOW OPEN" come on down and play! I sub and started to play again to my surprise I was already weeks too late LOL people are already on 50-70. Dint have much players on the starting zone which hyped me to have thought I would be starting out with countless other people and finally be able to get really good ping and in reality people were already done and starting area was quite silent. my point was why wasn't it sent during day 1 why was it send on like day 15 or 16 or even before that so that I could've prepped 😅 Marketing team what happened.. again as the title says im not complaining, thanks for opening an asia pacific server for us the ping really is a godsend. glad to be back playing an mmo I once loved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take this, sounds reasonable I suppose. that all aside glad to be back, been itching to play an MMO for the past few months. No need to apologize, I dint mean to sound ungrateful but yeah. it is what it is. Edited December 2, 2023 by LostCodex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausmisc Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Yeah they screwed the pooch a bit with the launch. Probably hurt the server's long term population a bit as a lot of people like to there from the very start on a fresh server. Maybe the emailing was a reactive measure to not achieving the numbers they thought they'd get. Hopefully it helps as most times when I try PvP I'm still seeing 4v5 warzones etc that never fill. Then again the PvP feels pretty poor compared to 10 years ago. Don't think they needed to be worried about overloading the server, I was playing on the second day and it was pretty quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my first thoughts as well, but population should be least of their worries I mean come on you're finally opening a "new" server certainly you've done your research on the player data base and estimated the numbers for those starting on day 1 why else would they open back APAC if they werent sure of the player populace migrating over. its like opening a pub without knowing the survey how many alcoholics live near, its basic marketing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have sent the email out the day the server opened. To be honest, it was a failed launch because they did no marketing & only told the current players it was happening the day before it was opened. And they only emailed out to you guys because I campaigned for them to do it or the server would fail. It wasn’t even their idea (it was mine), even though they’ve tried to take credit for it. Now they’re still preventing transfers & 7.4 is releasing tonight. Which means there will be even less players on the server than now because every current player will have to go back to the OS servers to play the new content. If they don’t open up transfers this week, I believe the server will fail 😞 Edited December 5, 2023 by TrixxieTriss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a reason to completely abandon the new server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're beating a dead horse banging on about transfers every single time. They'll open it when they deem fit, just accept it, move on. As below mentioned, prob 45min of story content. Hardly a server killer. I'm not logging into the US servers to play the content. If this issue is such a problem for you, why do you play the game? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll spend 45 minutes tonight on SF playing the new story. Maybe an hour or 2 checking out the daily area and WB added. Then I'll be bored again.. so I'll switch back to Shae Visla and keep on doing what I've been doing for hours every day since shae visla opened.
