ForumServer decaying
|
Don't know who you are. Bandwagon is u going to mid, period. And considering u already have 2 50's, that move was made some time ago, meaning u got to 50, got farmed a few times by mids with relics, numbers and rr advantages and chose to reroll easy mode. There is nothing random about my "shot" at you. You did the typical mid thing and accused somebody of crying/qq'ing/complaining when all they did was state how things look in DL on an average weekday evening. This is exactly the toxicity on the forums that drives ppl away. I guess i could address all the other pve related bs but not really worth it. Evinak - Eldritch

I see no decay of the server, there are still 1k to 2,5k players online when I check, rvr is more lively than ever, even with mid alb and hib zergs crashing down on each other, fighting threeway fights like in good old times, only differennce is that everybody seems to know more or less what he/she is doing this time around, so tryhard 8 mans are having a hard time wiping whole zergs.
I speak for EU times here, but somebody said it also happens during NA times... If anybody has expected a 3k population to persist half a year after the initial onslaught, it was just an unrealistic expectation in my opinion  ... This happened on no server of any mmorpg I played since daoc and these are quite a few by now |

LOL he called Team America an '8man guild' They're jokes. They consistently add and half the time die when they add. The problem is fighting 5relic mids that add or run 2fg consistently. You fight them, have them beat, another group swoops in and adds. You spend 10min rebuffing a pug where half of the players are semi clueless. You rebuff, go do it again. OR, you fight a decent alb group that extends well and you have a pug who doesn't understand how to fight these setups. You die, when you should have won the fight if it wasn't for a DERP. I don't care to lose a fight, but not when it's because of stupid errors on a 16 year old game. Most people play the game for fun, when they're not having fun, they logoff. We haven't been able to field a full guild group yet to coordinate and that's due to RL things and the amount of time it takes to hit 50, many players just said screw it and gave up. We are teaching PuG's how to daoc nightly, and that's tiresome. Let's not forget how dull and bland 1.65 is and that devs do not care about 'fun'. I'm still playing casually while I wait for Genesis or another game to release, but I won't be putting RL things on the back burner to play anymore. [url=https://www.cialispascherfr24.com/]link[/url]

It's funny that you attempted to put what looks like quotation marks around "8man guild" as if that was something I said. I actually referred to them as organised. Which is true in a sense that they know what they are doing and run with certain players. Of course I was making a comparison the pugs that are running against them. The rest of your post is pretty solid though. It reiterates a general sentiment around here and I appreciate it.
As for that, well, maybe you are blind or maybe you just have something in your eyes?  My mind’s made up, don’t confuse me with facts.
You mustn't assume that your personal situation is a reflection of every other person that has logged in to Uthgard. |

What ? There are still 1-2,5k ppl here, thats just enough for classic daoc. In rvr theres a ton of action you just need to roll out there. |
|
You guys can't expect people to be expert 8v8 players just because DAoC has been out for 16~ some years. It doesn't work like that.
Some people never got to 8v8 in the old days. Some people might have just hit their first 50 on a new realm on Uthgard. Not everyone played the game for 16 years straight and we've even got people who barely touched Camelot coming to play on Uthgard. So yeah, while you've got some skilled people and a few no-lifer poopsockers, I think there is a large portion of the population who still is learning 8v8 tactics/skillsets. |
|
Yeah, you're right it's "just enough" and it's declining, see the problem meow?  |

So its a bandwagon move to go roll to a realm and play something that was needed with past guildies vs staying in a realm that I liked but couldn't ever get any help getting anything that i needed done, and when I wanted to alt, I was spammed with messages to get on bard..and my alts never got groups because hib doesn't do LFG...and if you aren't focus pulling for pve in hib its irrelevant...and I played a groupable much needed class (bard). I would have loved to get a bm or hero rolled up...yeah...tell me more why I should have stayed...I'm dying to hear it. You can only go farm in SH and help people get xyz for there templates and then watch them never once return the favor before saying screw them. It wasn't just a single guild or anything it was the nature of the rvr crowd in that realm. Either you had a preset 8man or you were on the outside looking in.
If you just do the following that I already posted in another thread it will do wonders for your realm.

There's a ton of people in RvR zerging, 8v8ing and taking keeps, and there's even more in the realms Pveing. I'm not sure we're playing the same game...

Last night Emain was so filled up there was about 5fg running in bloddy Hadrians.
This server is by no means dead or decayed. lower pop but still higher pop than some servers had at their peak back in the days. Considering Prydwen EU had 1750 ppl on a good day on prime days and we still have no problem putting up 2-2.5k here you can put your exodus talk to rest |
|
If relics are a problem. They get taken back when low pop realm lot of. Have a time lock for 1-2 days until it can be taken again. So a realm taking a relic have some time enjoying it

If you only look at players online, sure its declining. but hey its spring/sommer almost and other games are out now. its a normal drop like in any mmorpg. but if u look in game there a ton of action and players everywhere. made so many rps last days...yeah server dead xD |
|
Ofc its declining and will be declining more for sure at least until the end of the year... and it would also do so if you had all the QoL implemented you cry for. A decline within the first year is simply normal... It generally follows a hyperbolic curve with a steep decline in the first months and evening out in the end when most people still playing made the decision to stay. But again thats how it always worked in any game in the past and will most likely always work for any future game... Just take e.g. "For Honor" as an example, at release in February 2017 there were up to 15k players online every day, now it has only 1.5-3k... In comparison Uthgard is doing pretty well for a 15+ year old game imo And for sur NOT "decaying" |

This thread.. wow.. hahah.
How on earth can people be saying that the server isn't decaying? Of course it is. You cannot logically deny that. And all this shiz about it being summer and its "normal" at this time of year - what a joke. Making comparisons to brand new games that have lost population numbers in one breath, and in another stating "you knew what you signed up for" - just lmao really. This much of a drop in population this quick on a server that people "knew what they signed up for" is far from normal and healthy. Get a clue. My mind’s made up, don’t confuse me with facts.

I think this may be one of the keys to the problem with Uthgard. Midgard is literally like Sweden in a political sense, in that, while yes we are playing for our own individual enjoyment, we also realize this is in a very real sense a very social and very group effort and WE are in this together. We can create a better experience for ALL, including ourselves, by helping out others. Helping others to get to where we all want to be, the end game and RvR. Kind of like how Sweden thinks philosophically and politically by actually helping out their fellow Swedes, if in need. (I am no expert on Sweden obviously, but what I do know, this seems to be the general attitude of the average Swede. It also applies for places like Denmark, Norway, Finland. The other Midgardian realms.) From my anecdotal evidence, and what others have told me of theirs, this is NOT the case on Hib and Alb. I had a guildmate I had not talked to much before ask for my assistance yesterday, and I happily did (by creating armor for them). My hope in doing that is that they will grow up to be big and strong and help make the server better by sticking with it, and fighting along side me in the near future out in the frontiers. (They also were from another realm apparently before this, and told me exactly what has been said by Ruckuz1983, that their experience in all aspects has been much more enjoyable on Mid. Mids have been much more generous with their time and effort to help others/lowbies especially.) I haven't touched the other realms, so I can't really say what they are like from a personal perspective, but I have heard the above situation several times now. I also experienced the generosity of Mids myself leveling up. I suppose the point is, that while the Devs do share a large brunt of the responsibility of trying to improve the server in all aspects (they have the power to do this in the most direct way possible). The players themselves are NOT powerless, and CAN do things to help the server themselves. An example on how to do this would be the above. I am by no means trying to accuse Hibs and Albs of being selfish and such, just that I've heard a lot of the above and perhaps they can help themselves by being more Mid-like, if they aren't doing so currently.
