Sarlona now default server for new installs/players?

[AdamSmith]

Sarlona seems a lot more populated since the update!

Yes, Sarlona is now the recommend world for new installations and players.

[TrinityTurtle]

Asesome, it would be lovely to see some new faces now that I fired my old net company and can actually play again.

Yes, Sarlona is now the recommend world for new installations and players.

Did I blink and miss something? Shouldn't the less populated worlds be recommended? What's the rational for this? (I understand Wayfinder is a ghost town, and therefore a bad choice, but aren't there other options?)

Hooray o glorious day!

TYVM for this!

Woot woot!

Clearly you've been on the Moon for the past six months!

As Cannith and Orien have both had the Default in that time!

With Orien taking the default a coupla months ago Sarlona became the LEAST Populated Server {except Wayfinder of course}!

So - Yes - Sarlona is the right choice now!

[FranOhmsford]

P.S. Yes this is a month old now but it's clear to see on the Monthly chart that Sarlona {Green} is the least populated server since Orien {Purple} got the Default:

On the Quarterly chart you can even see Orien jump from bottom {except Wayfinder} to second top.


Cannith btw has done brilliantly in keeping so many of the newbies gained when it was default - Unlike G-Land.

Aww come on Thelanis, you gotta give a better showing than that...

I think it's the slightly darker yellow of Argo in last place now Droid not that of Thelanis.

Still - Argo, Thelanis, G-Land and Khyber are pretty close and after Sarlona I think Wayfinder should probably get the Default back before any of them.

Orien and Cannith were both a good 2,000 logins per day lower than Sarlona when they got the Default and needed it badly!

Sarlona's clearly hurting too and hopefully that will change now!

BUT Argo, G-Land, Khyber and Thelanis not so much.


Maybe Argo after Wayfinder's had it but Wayfinder after Sarlona.

Frankly, Sarlona needs some help.
The server has been DEAD for quite a while now.

[Kwyjibo]

You guys can have Argo's turn as well

Thanks. Great explanation!

[Serim]

Wayfinder hasn't even seen a Mark of Death completion yet. Please devs, we have great players on our little server, but we need some help to increase the population. A server merge, or free toon transfers maybe??

[Seikojin]

Awesome, time to start recruiting!

[Ambelza]

Yes, Sarlona is now the recommend world for new installations and players.

I haven't been able to log on for almost 3 hours now due to the server being full. Too much time and money put into this game to be told I can't play when I want.

Um..what? That's not going to work very well, since I've been MIA doing irl stuff a lot, and I MIGHT have spent two days off channel because I'm an idiot who forgot you have to reset channels after an ETR. I also forgot you have to reset EVERYTHING. I usually etr/htr back to back. I blame the cold eating my turtle brain, I should be hibernating dang it.
