What would really impress me is publishing the number of concurrent players online.
Even that would be terribly inaccurate if you're interested in people actually playing the game at any given time.
The game basically demands you stay logged in 24/7 doing afk stuff if you want to progress reasonably. That inflates concurrent numbers well beyond what would be seen in normal games.

The real question, is what does it matter in the slightest?

Well EVE is much the same, I have corp mates who log in right after downtime and leave their accounts logged in until downtime comes round again.
They might actually play 2 or 3 hours a day, rest of its all station spinning.
After the upcoming Alpha clone changes there likely will be even more as even I'm thinking of making scouting accounts so the ones I pay for don't have to.

Black Desert is a unknown mmo from Korea that has been ported over to the West and is doing better here than anything in the West other than WoW.
Uhhh. The game had plenty of hype in the west upon release.
And to say it's doing better than any other MMO not named WoW exemplifies that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. GW2 and ESO are miles ahead in terms of success. What's the point is saying something so absurd?
Nope,
GW2 and ESO right now are not doing better than Black Desert.
See how that works?
Haha. Thanks, needed a laugh.
BDO? Massive server merges happening in Nov. It's not a dead game, in fact it should be one of the best around, but you don't get that when you have greedy parasites like Daum/Kakoa running games. Slime of the worse sort.

Another fail.
Game currently has 3 servers with 12 channels each. Now they are making 1 Mega Server with 36 channels.
Same amount of channels but now everybody in 1 Mega Server.
Like I said in the other thread. The game should have launched like this.
Again,
Always do research before you post.
2. How many channels will the New World have?
Each region will have a World with 36 Channels. This means that the North American and European regions will remain as separate servers.

That's basically a server merge though. People can spin it all they want though. Mega-servers, cross-realm zoning, etc... it all boils down to getting more players to fill in empty zones.

Its probably going to save them money, by switching to a mega server, and effectively merging all those 'servers' they don't need as many, it would be interesting to see just how many people are playing the game still, but there is an up side, by merging them all using mega server tech, at least now the remaining channels will be more populated. There is also the question of what is the population of each channel under mega servers, if the limit per channel before was 3,500, and after the switch to mega servers it falls to 500 per channel, then that would be extremely telling.

There is no spin because everything I posted is fact.
I never said it was not a merge. They are merging 3 servers to create 1 mega server which is great news to me becuase Sandbox games should have 1 world where all players live.
The topic of this thread still remains the same today as it did when I first posted it.

Nothing has changed.
Except a population decline, otherwise there wouldn't be a need to merge.
