srmalloy Posted Saturday at 06:16 PM Posted Saturday at 06:16 PM 4 hours ago, Diantane said: They should be merging and eliminating shards. Not adding new ones. As Glacier Peak said, there are players on those servers who are invested in their characters and don't want a merge, with all of the name collisions that would entail. But since you're so gung-ho for it, we'll make sure that all your characters are tagged with 'vulnerable to losing name' in the event of name collisions in the event server merges do occur. 1 1 1

biostem Posted Saturday at 08:33 PM Posted Saturday at 08:33 PM Perhaps the intent is not to have a single shard where it's standing room only. Nothing is stopping anyone from playing on a high-population server. While I do prefer busier servers myself, what I do NOT want to see, is a situation where we have to wait in a queue because it's too crowded... 2

You could delete all the shards except Excelsior and Everlasting, move all the existing players there, and neither of them would have queues with the current total playerbase.

Glacier Peak Posted Saturday at 10:50 PM Posted Saturday at 10:50 PM For everyone's awareness, 1,500 concurrent players is when queues begin.

So Excelsior, per the current forum count, has a little over 1000, and Everlasting has nearly 600, so there would definitely be a queue if the shards were consolidated, (assuming your numbers are correct)... 1

Diantane Posted Saturday at 11:10 PM Author Posted Saturday at 11:10 PM (edited) 9 hours ago, MoonSheep said: i believe it has been imported from another CoH community that exists, rather than Homecoming creating a new shard. it was announced a while ago out of interest, what server do you play on diatane? exelcsior has a huge population if you want more instant TFs, trials etc I play on Excelsior. the population used to be much higher here 2 years ago. If was fast and easy to put teams together for several hours every day. The LFG chat was extremely busy. Today it barely moves. Other mmo's have a lot more players -- in the tens of thousands per shard Because of this I have stopped forming teams (trying to). Today I am soloing a character on the red side. The red side population is extremely tiny. Edited Saturday at 11:12 PM by Diantane
