hello

i think this game have hugh potential, and have a perfect game idea.
but the world seams to be a quite empty, so my suggestion is freezing maybe all 3 servers and add a new fresh server,
or use 1 of the old, to force everyone on to on server, to make the world feel more alive, and that will attract more players and keep the ones currently playing.

If this is done now or when the game is released, is not so important, but i would be good rather sooner then later,
then unfreeze servers when more players come to join in, i have noticed lots of people stop playing, and i dont think its the game thats boring just the lack of interaction between players.

plz give some comment how you feel.

This tends to happen to all the servers after a given period of time. New servers opening up would rectify the situation (on the new servers) for awhile. I don't know what it is about fresh servers, but population tends to spike significantly when they open up.

Wait® until server transfer

the game will be one large server anyway once transfers are possible

Hopefully not. I believe that at any given time there will be at least 2 separate worlds to choose from.

Not really, as far as I recall the devs said the trips will require silver to transfer, I don't think it will be cheap so the ability to transport materials will be greatly limited. I imagine the same will go for raiding as you will have no homestead on the new server and thus you will need to build a vault for yourself before you can even think about attacking someone.

The only real reasons to move between servers as far as I can see will be to trade high value items like high purity seeds and to simply migrate your entire operation.

Well if you go attack someone on a different server, then they'd need to come back to attack you and pay silver as well. And depending on if you are a large base with multiple people, many different people would ahve to pay to attack back.

I think people would pay silver and transfer just to do different things, like a vacation sort of. If someone is bored with their area, why not visit a different server for a bit?

I really think once this is out of beta, you will see an influx of people. I got a beta key, and my friend didn't from the website - so it's empty because they arn't opening the flood gates quite yet..

The website gives out like 600 beta keys a day. I doubt there will be many new players who will join because "they couldn't get into the beta".

No, but there may be a lot of players that come back because the beta, at the time, was lacking tons of content or had some really broken mechanics in it that killed the joy of the game.

We have three colonies because it is a beta and this needs to be tested just like everything else. Just because transports aren't available to other colonies yet doesn't mean the system for it to be there doesn't need testing, too. In the future, new colonies will only open when necessary based on player population.
