Few weeks back Funcom said with alot of comitment that there would be no server mergers. Now it sounds abit diffrently...

Daedren: How are the current subscription and server numbers? We’ve hear rumors of server merges and severe population declines on some servers. Any plans for these?
EE: I’m not at the liberty to discuss subscription numbers due to the fact that we are a publicly traded company. The latest number we announced was the 415.000 customers per August 14th. We will certainly do what is necessary to entertain a healthy community of players on the servers, and if we decide on doing anything such as server merges we will make sure to notify the playerbase when we can. Right now I can not give you any definite plans on this, though. We do, of course, register the feedback we’re getting on the forums and we’re taking it into consideration.
One thing said one week - totally diffrent the next. Typical for Funcom isn't it ?

Would you prefer they do nothing just to make some rabid fans happy at a financial and stbility loss? It's better they do what they have to keep things stable. It IS a business after all.
Very typical... however, it's a much better answer than the last official one. I'd prefer they merge down to a few core servers than continue along the path soe did with swg after the nge fiasco. It might screw some players out of cities, what good is a city on a dead sever though?

Then they should not make statements like saying they are gonna be closing the most populated servers for new characters so that other servers will have some....
Yes ... They said that...
What good is a city on a full server ? ..
Wait a minute, doesn't the game have 400k subscribers? Why would they need server merges with that many "active subscribers?"
/end sarcasm
Good lord, you read into things way to much. You don’t like funcom, we get it. But its either ignorance, or the hate that makes you not able to understand simple statements.
ADD version for you: No merges, when they do, they will tell you. But they have heard the requests for it from the player base.

Just like Warhammer is doing, Come on, are you new here? its a way to spread out the population.

That's bad, considering box sales at this point. It would be good if they were high, that simply isn't the case.
It also causes a problem when you consider every server is locked at the medium listing whether they have those numbers or not. Doing this will possibly force players on to completely dead servers, forcing even greater losses in customers.

Oh you forgot - they will tell you "when they can".
Funny how some ppl still actually can't read between the lines....

That works on full servers - it doesn't work on empty servers. That is NOT like Warhammer...
How naive are you? lol

So let me get this straight. BECAUSE you're a publicly traded company, the number of customers you have is PRIVATE?
I'm sure it makes sense to you financial types but that sounds like a mess o' hooey to me.

Reading comprehension FTW indeed... DId you belive the statement 2 weeks ago? lol
No - I dont belive one word these ppl say - And I like many others will continue to point out that this game has absolutly no direction at all. And the main reason is because they did NOT listen to players. They ignored them when they were told the game wasn't ready.
Its to late to listen now - And we all know they just listen when they feel like it - And they make up few lies in between.
Yes, because releasing such info is not his call to make.

well they better do something about merging servers cause i was just on deathwhisper ( promptly canceled due to obvious reasons) it was frankly a ghosttown on that server. barely a whisper from anyone at any given time during the day. even ont he forums its died down, but i also come to realize the subscribers on the forums are some truly rabid, agressive, angry bunch lol.
theyll bite ya head off when talking about anything negatively towards the game or factual about its current status.talk about some self destructive anti-social behavior they exhibit. thats another reason alot of people dont like to play also im sure given the type of people this type of game attracts. truly a shame.
3.4ghz Phenom II X4 965, 8GB PC12800 DDR3 GSKILL, EVGA 560GTX 2GB OC, 640GB HD SATA II, BFG 1000WATT PSU. MSI NF980-G65 TRI-SLI MOBO.
Umm hello if they merge servers then when the expansion and xbox version comes out the servers will be so packed it will be queued up. I cant believe you suggest this and the rest of you just need a good guild because last time i checked the game was hopping.
Yes yes we know

Im just sick of people thinking Age of Conan is doing bad if everyone just gave it a chance instead of bashing it those players would stick around and new players would come to and then the game could be the easy 2nd alternative to WoW which is a good thing because cartoon graphics suck.
Thank you for being honest at what your intention is with these vociferous posts supporting Funcom
You know the numbers are down and hope to prevent the inexorable state of current players leaving in droves
Sadly forums and opinions aren't a major factor in people leaving or not joining ...its the state of the game which is unacceptable for most gamers
Only time and Funcom can change this ...but for many sadly this is too late
"after the time of dice came the day of mice "
Actually I think the numbers are fine I just dont like new players reading these forums and becoming discouraged or nervous about their next MMORPG subscription. Its like making someone watch a Uwe Boll movie when there is a perfectly good Lord of the Rings right by.
I bet ILOVEFUNCOM works for Funcom, yes?
There's definitely something fishy about him. He's spamming all the negative threads with sunshine and "400k SUBS! LULZ" comments.
A VERY sound assumption. Some would even say amazing.
Fungerer som det skal
No im just disgusted by anti-FUNCOM statements considering how great of a game it is considering how long it has been out.
