  • how much longer will SDE keep kaiser server going?

    03. 29. 2012 10:36

200% boost exp event did't change situation in Kaiser. This is how it looks now in kaiser:

And this is how's Nebraska going same date and time

sSo dear SDE, mods, official and anybody else in power to be a man and make a decision:

SHOT DOWN KAISER, TRANSFER ALL ACTIVE ACCOUNTS TO NEBRASKA AND ALLOW DYING KAISER POPULATION TO PLAY IN NORMAL TERMS!!!

I play NF for a few years, I do have a lot of patiience, but when I talk to my friends from Kaiser, who are able to play 10-15 games per hour, while I cannot play more than 6 (7-10 minutes waiting for each battle) I get pissed.

I do not understand, why SDE keeps paying for server which brings only problems while they could extend nebraska to hold 2 or 3 times bigger traffic? For me there's no logic in decisions made by SDE.

Please, start thinking about it before 99% of Kaiser players quit NF due to this horror.

Do you still think that they care about this with NF 3d coming?.

Even if they keep this working it will die in a week.

They have been "working" on NF3d for over 4 years. I saw the first "demo" at the GNGWC Navyfield Event in LA in 2008.

Too bad they didnt merge MO and NY togther as most of NY wanted, woulda been a good balnce of new and old players instead of putting the two oldest servers and newestones, in fact Nelson it's self was a failure server that time and time agian we said would flop.

 

However these people on Kaiser need to know that what you see now was MO 2 years ago, and I still played and level a IJN CV and TW crew even on low population times, Just need to incourage new people to play or hope NF3D comes out soon.

and has put facebook ad's on. He posted this in a thread a few days ago.



All i can say is that i havn't seen them on facebook yet but this would be a good step to boost players.... i hope.

The best thing would be a merger.



I'm not sure that i agree with this (well i agree with the merge part but am told this isn't an option)

Not everyone on the server makes a new crew when a new nation is realeased.... infact i imagine it's probally only about 1/4 of people... or people make a new crew then go back to there old one when they get bored. So your talking about at most a 1/4 of players moving to try the new nation and most would move back to play other crews. Others would maintain a presence of both servers which would help with balancing the player bases out.

As to closing admissions to Nebby, it's already getting over crowded, so if for a month or so you didn't allow new players to join that server i think you would hardly notice the difference playing there, but it would make a huge difference to Kaiser to add say 100 new players (which i imagine is how many new players joina  months with maybe 75% of them giving up in a short space of time). Nothing permenant just a temp thing to help get numbers up. Equally if you read my post you wouldn't necessarily have to close players joining completly, alot of other MMO's have a "recomended" server for new players, why couldn't NF do the same?

A major problem on Kaiser, which hasn't been raised on this thread yet... is the lack of Blitz games. At most time's there are only GB's running and no blitz's at all! so new player's who join have to go into GB and it's very discouraging for them to be playing in games where they can have no impact.... or little impact. This is only going to make things worse as a larger percentage of new players will just give up on Kaiser.

My point was, it is already going to be hugely out of date. And will it be run like this version?

Nebby is nowhere near overcrowded. 2 years ago it was far more active on AZ (one of the servers that became Iowa that then merged into Nebby). Even Nebby's population now is dire.

Are you saying that 1/4th of the players on both servers have made Italy crews? To be honest, its far more than that, and to take away that from Nebby is just completely unfair. 

Sure, make Kaiser the recommended server for new players, but anything more than that will either not work, or kill Nebby. Apart from a merger, which is what is needed. Why are you so against a merger?

More players, more fleets, more rooms, more events.

I'm actually in favour of a merger but seeing as SDE have said they won't be merging i am making other suggestions to address the inbalance.

When i suggested about the Italian crew's i wasnt saying more the players over entirely. They can keep there current crews on Nebby and have the new crews on Kaiser. Anyhow it's past the point now as it's already happened but was just talking in hindsight.

My point would be that you will have huge population issues on Nebby if that was the case, because people on Nebby would be playing on Kaiser.

And SDE have said no to alot of things; They initially said no to a merge when we had 4 servers. Things change.
