More Servers "Missing"

Well... I don't know what to say. I guess I'll be on less because it'll be near impossible to find a good solo spot to loot. Cutting servers seems pointless to me if they have enough money, so obviously they're losing money so they can't afford to keep servers.

Obviously Disney doesn't care enough about this game to put money into it so it can survive and become a great online game.

Not true. Just because they remove servers doesn't actually mean they are removing "physical servers" these servers can be virtual and can all reside on a few physical servers. They may be removing some virtual servers but that is hardly a cost cutting move but more of a strategic or business move of some sort.

Also added to the list of removed "servers" is Bonaam which I used most of the time.

I have been saying that for the last year or so. This game will barely hold on to life until POTC 4. Then it will hold its breath for a few more months... Then just like VMK it will go out with no further notice.

I doubt it. this game is making A LOT of money. go on abassa. even the people who have nothing better to do than sit around and yell are UA.

I only see like 1 or 2 basics a day now. But really, disney is going to have to recognize that this game is a marketing tool and start putting effort. the only thing we can do about it is go on strike!

You forgot Mosona.... great, looks like the Sorcerors will need to find a new server... Sorry about your loss of Navermo Partners N Crime.

Wow, come on POTCO... do you really need to do this?

[WeirdBeard]

How come they took them out, ye think?

[Captain Sharktooth]

That is really weird! Also I was just about to start a thread about that too! I hope it is just a glitch, because less servers = more people per server. On a side note at least Levica is still there! That is my favorite server.

Oh also, the Pixies guild server, Camaros is gone too

Seriously, keep in mind not EVERYONE wants a solo server. Other people are probably jumping for joy that there will be more people on each server.

Trust me. You'll still be able to find servers where you only find one or two people in a hour of playing. This isn't the end of the world.

Of course, I prefer quiet servers, since I like to go to Tormenta and pound on the enemies there for hours at a time all by myself (I've gotten a couple of really nice famed there so far, actually...) Fragilles is my server of choice, followed by whatever quiet server the Pixies have chosen as the server of choice for the day. But if a couple of other people happen to be pounding on the Thralls? I'll go to the bridge. It's not a big deal. Make a list of favorite looting places, and run through them on your server until you find someplace with nobody there. If there's one person at Darkhart? Ask if you can join them. More people equal faster looting. Remember that

As much as I'd love to agree with you, I can't. For one thing, most people would simply go to Vachira or Andana or places of the sort, which are the more populated servers. Also, like many others, I choose to work alone - without strangers to bother me.

I'm sure there are logical reasons for the several Server removals we've had, but I hope "We want people to socialize!" is not one of them...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, though...

Yeah, I agree with you. Isn't there another way they could reduce lag or?

[titanic95594]

Great....Now our guild has got to find a new server to hang on.

[ruisen2000]

lol, I think POTCO is trying to hide the fact that there's not a ton of ppl playing POTCO anymore...
Man thats a short list of servers remaining!

[JM Ohara]

Ok so I talked to Live chat about this while I was asking about a different issue. At first I got a very interesting response.

"We are not allowed to comment on server removal at this time. Where did you hear about the server removal."

*Scratches head* I said to him, Um, the in game list? I proceeded to list a few of the missing servers.

So the live chat guy says to me, The removal of the servers is the finishing of the removal from last fall. We hope you will enjoy the new format (blah blah blah)

In short, as with the other removal, this too is permanent. DRAT!

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Good job Disney! You have once again succeeded in making your players less than satisfied with your game. Keep up the work so you can continue to make us upset!

[Captain Del]

I highly doubt these removals are due to lack of money, nor lack of players. I don't see why every time POTCO does something to reduce the game, people suddenly jump on the Dooms Day wagon, while when they release a new update, people are all rejoicing. If POTCO had no money, then why would they be working on Infamy, when they could work on their finances?

The sad thing is that they are probably doing this, for the "Everybody be social!," reason, especially with Infamy coming along. But honestly, it's not like you can never ever find an open spot in-game. Now the server list is pretty much even - instead of it being 30% being Ideal, and 70% being Quiet, it's closer to 45 - 55.

And for those of you that are concerned, I just walked by three completely empty servers, out of the three Quiet servers I randomly went to. Enjoy.

[Crestshot]

It still seems rather ridiculous. I mean, they JUST did a server removal. If it was something like lag, I could understand that. If it was something like money, I could understand that, but it's like Del said; they've obviously been working hard on Infamy, and other good updates over the past year. It sounds as if they have the money to do that, rather than concentrate to severely on their finances.

If it's for the "We want you to find new friends! Crew day, yay!!!!!!!!" they can find some other pirate. I'd rather not have more chances to get bugged, bothered, and abused over the internet.

And, on a personal note, Seriously Disney? Both Navermo AND Camaros? Partners and Pixies, ASSEMBLE!!!
