I'd like to post this on the Asheron's Call Forums. If someone can do this then much appreciated.


This is what many people want. A new Darktide. Where many people from white servers can come and start in a new world with fresh blood.


There are so many people, I guarantee it, that have had a thought about joining Darktide but the people on DT are too high of a level for them to


even feel motivated enough to start there. All of these level 275 reds rolling around, of course there is going to be that one guy or guild that


will make it hard for them. I know it is a mood killer for all those people, I guarantee hundreds of people want to play in an all PK environment,


but there is a major struggle for all of those people who are interested in PK. I know that there are pros and cons but you never know until you try.


People below me on this post can flame the board all they want, but they wouldn't be the truth of the matter. People are INTERESTED in a new PK server.


I know you might be worried about losing people from other servers. But what you must understand is that AC is going on a downward slope. This could


actually be the spark that AC needed. Can you imagine what this can do for the profit of this game? The fun and enjoyment that people will get out of this?


One friend calling another friend to tell them, "Hey! A new PK server! Dude this is what we have been waiting for, resubscribe your account fast!"


So many people will rush to it. I remember when I played DT maybe a year after the game came out. My friend and I were level 20's fighting level 50's and


just having fun fighting REAL people. Not these monsters the entire time. People need a new and exciting environment. I can absolutely guarantee you


that people will resubscribe there accounts and jump on that fast. Do you see the fun fighting against other people who control their characters compared


to fighting just monsters that are automatic? Not ran or seen through the eyes of another human being? This is YOUR chance to find out. All I am asking is


for at least two weeks for a trial server. See how it goes and if you find out it was a waste of time then cut it off. Just know that this is a big opportunity


to start bringing people back. I'm not saying that I am a PK fanatic. I like going on the white servers too from time to time. Most of all I love managing my own life.


Not just playing a video game for hours and hours. I am trying to say that this is a wonderful opportunity for you to expand on your players. See how many people roll in.


Please consider.


Thanks.


Louie

With 275's its stupid to play DT. Levers should have never been taken out. Turbine ALWAYS screws things up. They accidentally made a good game and they have been working on fixing it ever since.

It is a good idea, but not very cost effective because of the server space. I mean the servers that AC requires isn't much, but yet at the same time it is extra money that Turbine really isn't making out of this game. So for them to be able to set up a completely new server just for PKing and cross their fingers to bring some joy to the existing members may be a bit far fetched. I'll follow through with you on it, but only because I want to see some new potential people, and to contact some of my older buddies to come back to our home.

At this stage in AC's life cycle, you will see in PK what happened in whitespace when the last new server opened. People left established guilds which foundered on their respective servers and vacuums were created. The new server never was able to establish a population significant enough to make it enjoyable to play once people began to hit their target goals.

What people really want on DT is a way to level to 275 and get good stuff without being destroyed by the people that are already at that level.

THEN they want to be back in a populace of people who are equal to or less than them in level/gear/acquisitions.

This situation of a new server would only be useful as a leveling server if you could bring your character over to DT at the completion of leveling. Otherwise, once you hit 275 on a PK server, who would you fight? Not enough PK people to fully populate a PK server to make it reasonable for the goal of PK which is to Kill Other Players!

People like Player Killer who say, AC is Dead, and flame on every post just for giggles is a major reason why this game is going on a downward slope. Add up enough Flamers and you can burn a great idea to the ground. Do something useful please a flame on the threads that nerf good dungeons, not good ideas. Thanks.

Yes, but Verdantine is a white server. A new PK Server will only make things more challenging for players.


When you say that people really want a way to level to 275 with great armor and weapons and a full hearty set or w/e without being killed is like me irl wanting to be what I have always dreamed, the best soccer player in the world who floats on clouds and shoots at goals that are made out of heaven's gates. It is impossible. People who love to do that, but it will never happen.


And you can't look at it that much into the future without following the progress first. You are talking about babble! What I am trying to bring to the table, to get the people who have control of these servers to give this a real shot. For a week or 2 days even. Just to see how much people take a liking to it. I'd like to speak to someone who knows a little more about what goes on inside.

creating another server only splits the population off more, further decreasing the playerbase, this is a bad bad idea.

Yes, I agree that it splits the population more, but it isn't a bad idea. Think about total population increase. Server population will definately shift. But the people who come back to the game that aren't in the population as of right now will definately be THRILLED. Many many people have been wanting new pk servers. But replys like yours has only kept them shut, and there are way more people who choose not to have a say on these boards, or to have their voice heard on the matter than there are people who choose to strike this idea down just like that. All I am trying to do is give this a chance.
