The population will fix itself

Recommended Posts

I want to make a few points to those who keep crying "server is dying!"

I don't think anybody is arguing about the decline of server pop.  A few major contributing factors are, for one, the drama surrounding the development team a little over a month ago....and Alexsensual's dumbass brigade.  

 

Imo, the server has hit rock bottom already and will be on the increase starting with AQ launch.  Why?  Well, for one, there will always be a demand for a private vanilla wow server.  Two, and frankly, there aren't any better options out there. 

The drama that once surrounded this team is now a distant memory, and with the resignation of Shenna, the mercenaries who jumped ship when all that drama went down will slowly file back in after AQ launches.  

I played Kronos 2, and if THAT population survived the relaunch of Nostalrius, this place ain't going anywhere.  

 

 

In addition to all of that...in retrospect, it may have been better to wade through the queues until the hype died down so we saw a more nost like, and accurate reflection of the dedicated player base. 

 

The Nostalrius community isn't dead, it is very much alive....just, its split 3 different ways now, instead of on one server.  

 

A few things to consider.

They lost over 90% of their population when Elysium relaunched Nostalrius, so I wouldn't call that surviving.

Lastly, I meant to give a shout out to the GM and Dev team for persevering through the constant assault of Ddos and forum trolling/flaming.

I know quite a few guilds that still raid over there...and now that they merged the two servers, the population is respectable again.  

I'm just trying to encourage people not to give up because their realm population might be half of what it was 4 months ago...

Yea, those doomsayers are just ridiculous since the rate of decline is much lower than it was initially. The only server that people need to worry about is Zeth'Kur because that server is low on pop and keeps on losing it. As for Anathema and Elysium, that's like saying a fat guy is starving to death by going on a diet.

The population will follow the same trend retail has for years.

Possibly very large but temporary increase after new content is released, then a gradual constant decline once that content is cleared/played.

I've no idea why it's such a hot topic here, it's common sense.

half? yeah right, I wish it was at half pop still. When the server launched, ZK was at a steady 5k pop. Half of that would be at 2.5k pop. This would STLL be nice. But thats not the case. We are sitting at 900people online right now and this is peak UK time... fucking nuts. Half pop my ass. Try 1/6 the pop.

 

Good thing we can transfer to a real server soon!

K2 doesn't actually exist anymore thanks to the relaunch of Nostalrius.
