Ghallanda has hit the Iceberg - abandon ship

[LeslieWest_GuitarGod]

True, everyone is not leaving. But it's also disingenuous to pretend that all is fine. Ghallanda has already lost 8.5% of its active player base (ddoaudit.com), and that's only going to increase assuming that player transfers are reinitiated and the time extended. Orien is consistently almost TWICE the population on Ghallanda, which is now the second lowest population server. Most of those leaving are the guilds leading high reapers, raids, and some very established players and guilds.

I don't think "Ghallanda has hit the Iceberg", but the passengers are still sailing away in lifeboats at a significant number. 91.5% (so far) are staying, and I wish them the best, but there is definitely a trend.

It was not a trend, and I don't pretend. I am straight up, always. It was an impulsive panic move made by a few but I cannot blame them. They made the decision they felt was best. It's a miracle this game is still being developed and reinventing itself. DDO is a legitimate find still for people after all these years. So I feel Ghallanda will be just fine.

I am saddened to see some guilds make a move, and sure that hurts, but some have actually come back, and many more will arrive anew thanks to making Ghallanda the default server. Hopefully more come back. I am ALL about that guild life.

Ghallanda will always be a GUILD FRIENDLY server. We aren't going anywhere and we are ALWAYS willing to run with new blood, and any no drama guild or pug with the right drama free mindset.

Bottom line -- Its VERY IMPORTANT to see GUILDS THRIVE. Its 2023... I dont give a **** if they succeed ON GHALLANDA or ORIEn or ANYWHERE ELSE. Lets SUPPORT EACH OTHER because when GUILDS DIE -- DDO dies.
