Wooht? :O - Phoenix Freeshard

I guess all the players got tired of all the BS, or just of the idea of wasting their time till januar. Or what happened to the player base?

I'm in American EST time and I've never seen i50 population any higher than maybe 150. It's usually 110ish. It seemed amazingly low last night with maybe 60 (event was done by the time I logged in), but I was perhaps on later than usual -- though not so late for American PST.

I have been looking for a better game. Emain dynamics suck, but that's where we'll eventually be after release. I'm actually looking forward to PvE, but that's mainly so I can have a low-intensity time waster, not because this game is a shining example of awesome PvE. My favorite PvE game shuttered a couple of years ago, and I'm just not finding what I'm looking for in the current offerings on either PvE or PvP.

The unexpected announcement that RAs would be changed to NNF RAs instead of OF RAs killed alot of my enthusiasm for the game. Sure, there are glaring imbalances between the realms but that is what made it fun for me.. not a homogenized extremely bland server where everyone gets access to the same RAs.

Plus it invalidated months of player testing and killed the fun of planning out how I was going to spec my future characters. (RA-wise)

I cant believe you would have a massive leave cause of Ra change, Imo it s rather the wipe of toons + i50 that do not incitate people to play.

It is more likely People waiting for the release.

Plus this "version" of the game, with i50 full pot full buff items for everyone is not reflecting what will really be the server at release.

the reason for this is that it's beta and people know all progress will be wiped. It was the same with Uthgard when the beta was in the final months. It also didn't have a big population.

Phoenix will do fine once it launches, should be a decent population. Not sure it's going to be the same as on Uthgard (4k+), but should be fairly good nonetheless. I'm guessing around 2 - 3k people online.

there were ~50 new created accounts on the forum in the last 48hrs, 2 months prior to release. i expect the servers to go up in flames once it releases, like genesis 1.0 did. 8-10k people.

I really love how 3 people blame the RAs lol.. Clearly majority like the Current RA system.

People always pick something that they don't like to blame something on lol..

People just got bored of waiting. I know I expected a release before the new year when all of this kicked off.

I'm just waiting for release now.
