Nice Haiku brah.

Noticed a decreasing amount of posts,- no surprise in fact of the long offline period of Uthgard, player losing interest and there isn ´t much to say anyway. So the majority of forum visitors is silent.
Keep on going with that,- the less posts are made, the more time the staff has to take care about getting the server relaunched . I know, I´m just dreaming.

I don't think that is 5 7 5

We should start a haiku thread.

Uthgard I love you
But hate that you will return
In Twenty Sixteen


I'm sure I screwed that up.

The only reason for casuals to stay on Uthgard 2.0 longer than on Uthgard 1.0 will be the PvE content once SI is released. The 8vs8 community will probably increase and make sure the frontier zones will be a casual desert asap

Agreed, and I have been saying the same for a long time Bloodwyne. I really do appreciate all the work the GM's have and continue to put in the server, however, I have seen very little to any changes/fixes that will "fix" what was broke with the server. I called how Genesis would fall into the same disarray that Uthgard did. Sure enough, it happened, and from what I have been told its even worse than it was on Uthgard. Less people in RvR zones and ZERO solo action in RvR zones. At least Uthgard had a smattering of both during American prime time.

As I have said time and time again, the only true fix to this problem is population. This will be "fixed" for a time when Uthgard re-opens. Once the RR gap starts to develop you will see more and more casuals either quit playing or shifting focus on more BG players and more general PvE and leaving the RvR zones. Fast forward a year or two and you will be in the EXACT same population situation that Uthgard had before closing.

I wish I had a more positive outlook, but people don't understand that this game is not for casuals UNLESS casuals make the effort to go out and play in RvR zones. Perhaps the Elites can prevent this for awhile, but I have a hard time believing that over years of time they will not revert to their normal selves killing everything in sight and being critical of anyone who does not view the game exactly as they do.

This all of course makes me ask again, why we did a reboot just so we could be in the same spot 1-2 years down the road again. Are we going to reboot every time there is a RR gap between casuals and hardcores? Yes, I know the items were also a problem, but you could have wiped the money and items and left the toons....

I was basically told to shut up regarding this sort of thing, by both staff and players.

That being said, even if nobody wants to hear anything I have to say they still have a problem which needs resolved. Casual players are the lifeblood of any server and so are new players. Saying it isn't so doesn't mean it isn't so.

They either acknowledge they need casual and new players and figure out how to get/keep them, or they are sailing the Titanic into arctic waters and polishing the brass railings.
