I do not like this change at all.
On every server today I have seen a lot of other pirates, although it is considered quiet.
I enjoy being by myself mostly and now I find I can't do that. Now I can't avoid rep stealers and rude people.
I would be okay if they took some servers away, but I think they need to add a few back if it would make a difference.

TY Chimera, you hit it on the head. There's no real quiet now.

Slouyx 10-02-2010 08:12 PM

It's not hard for me to find peace and quiet. Even since they removed the servers, I still find myself on a nice, quiet server. Even though now there isn't many ways to avoid other players, I now find it interesting to help a newer player. Usually, when I was on very quiet servers, I would just ignore a player asking for help. But since now we're going to be on the same servers anyway, I would just help them. Even right now, I'm on a quiet server. I still don't really see a problem with Disney removing some servers.
Edit: Yes, I have been in a guild with a home server, and I'm in one now.

Well, I guess some people are lucky lol. I can't find a true quiet server for the life of me. BTW for all of us ticked about the server removals, last year Pixie Hollow slashed their servers too. They got such an enormous backlash over it they were back within weeks.

Chimera Doll 10-02-2010 08:19 PM

Aye, I can't find a good quiet server either!
Especially for Raven's Cove lol, :P

I wouldn't want to have a giant backlash against Disney for removing servers. They were just cleaning up the game. It probably makes updating the game a lot smoother for them.

JM Ohara 10-02-2010 08:26 PM

I believe they are already getting a huge fight about this. The thing is, POTCO is a game, its a product. Its purpose is to make the customer happy. Clearly this isn't. From a business standpoint this was a very bad idea.

What Slou and I are trying to say is.. is there really a reason to fret over this?

I myself prefer quiet servers. Do you see my throwing a fit about this? Well, no. And why is this?

Because, believe it or not, there are still plenty of empty servers, even on Ravens Cove, on a Saturday, in the afternoon, a few days after it's released. My proof? I'm standing on it as I post this. There are empty servers out there - just requires a little elbow grease.

I will say it again. Understand, this update is fresh and new. Of course all the servers are gonna be packed. But, give it a week or two, and then go to a quiet server, and see what you find.

And, let me ask all of you this. Are you posting against this because you have a real hate against this, whether your gaming is lagging more, or whatever - or did your favorite server get removed? I'm not necessarily saying that the later is the case for everybody here, but there's no doubt in my mind that's the reason for a few.

JM Ohara 10-02-2010 08:39 PM

Actually, I'm just trying to explain why it is some of us would rather not see other players in game. Yeah, I suppose if you server hop constantly you could find an actual quiet server. I'm saying I preferred when they were easy to find, and you actually didn't run into other people.

That's the thing. I didn't have to. I was at a server, some people came and destroyed the enemies I was attacking, so I moved to the next one - still nice and empty.

Less servers means faster loading speed. That's a PLUS! I can get into the game within 5 minutes!

Yeah but my point is it's not that easy for some of us. Personally, in game, I have awful luck with servers thanks.

Slouyx 10-02-2010 08:49 PM

Even on the most "quiet" servers, I would run into people. A lot of players want to be on quiet servers, which mean your "quiet servers" become busy. It's nearly impossible to avoid. I still don't see a big issue with Disney removing servers, and I agree with Del. The "busy" servers we have now will probably clear out a few weeks after this update.
I don't base finding quiet servers on "luck." If I'm looking for a quiet server, I go to ones I usually know are quiet. If they aren't, then okay, I keep switching. I don't have a problem with that. You cannot avoid that issue, more or less servers there is. It's an online game. You're going to see other people and may have to interact with them.

JM Ohara 10-02-2010 08:58 PM

I suppose we are just going to have to agree to disagree on this. I fail to see the point of continuing to draw swords when people aren't willing to see both sides.

That is a very good plus.
One of my mates has a horrible computer and use to take like two minutes to load, now he loads in no time. :D
