    Has the total population dropped THAT low now ?

    Making the AH common across all servers is a handy way to delay further server mergers. But it's a sign of things to come...

    WoW this has to be the fastest game to go down. Next would be closing the doors. Maybe they should do a ffxiv and take game down and do a reboot.

    I'm still waiting AA to die in what I been hearing for last 2 years from other people, and still kicking with it's own type of player base.

    Population of AA was never that great after the initial hype died down. On NA server it has 8-10K and on EU about 20K unique players, pay attention to the word "unique" since actual active account number is much much more due to allowance of multiboxing and multiple account creation. People hoard lands with multiple accounts, run trade pack "train" with 10 alters and make over a 1000 gold per day. This game would have been much much better if Trion did not allow multiboxing and multiple account, yes despite having a "pay for more chance" cash shop.

    I have toons on the EU server Kyprosa and can confirm that although there is a small dedicated bunch, the population has dwindled drastically in recent months..... I think a combination of greener pastures elsewhere, awful cash shop and folks sick of the usual cheating has done it.....

    If they would just open up a Sub Server with NO Cash Shop, I would definitely go back and play. So sad.

    Games always kill themselves in the end.

    AA has had a small dedicated playerbase for a long time already - BDO's population is still settling down - after the servers came up today in NA (and I mean 3 hours later) - only 5 channels were crowded out of 36 - meaning a ton of people play BD the same way they did AA at launch - a huge number of players are AFK - which inflates the online numbers.

    Now tonight looking at peak time NA - this was the lowest pop I've seen yet (again I am not saying the game is empty - hear me out) - I am saying there were many channels that were not crowded - and not a single one was overcrowded - which is the first night ever since launch to have this happen - to not have a single red channel on any US server during peak time

    AA launched a year and a half ago - want to compare apples to apples - lets wait a year and a half to see what BD population is going to be?



    A year and half later BDO will have more players than AA has now. Because let's face it BDO is exactly what western players want : playing skyrim with optional multiplayer environment that allows them to chat and party with others from time to time.

    Game is too much cash shop based and if they put everything that is in cash shop into some in game system or vendor then within a month players will be running with full mythic gears and within 6 months server will be dead since there is no traditional end game and gear grind is over and done with.

    Thats what MMO are. You get to max level. Then you grind a raid for 6 months over and over until get you'll get Max out in gear or close to it. It's just doing the same thing over and over.

    Making the AH common across all servers is a handy way to delay further server mergers. But it's a sign of things to come...



    Unfortunately the game pop is at it's lowest point in over a year now and yeah that's why the AH's are all merging, no one is buying anything, activity on the market has come to a crawl. The game pop went down to almost nothing, literally, till Trion put it on steam back in March 2015. This put several thousand people on the game. Unfortunately over the past year they have lost almost everyone gained from steam. If things don't change and they get some huge influx of people there will literally be only a few hundred people left by Q4 of this year.

    The game as is? Utterly doomed, it's got Pay2Win jammed so far up its clay pipe it can taste plastic.. That and the hackfest etc etc etc

    I hate Trion now and will never play another game of theirs even if it looks decent...

    Bring back the beta version of the game before they raped it !!!

    And you would be paying for that unfinished version of game for 1 and half years?
