Or atleast do voluntary transfers to a white server for free at the cost of your home and a new name?

I can understand why Dil or w/e his name is chooses to flame. He is uneducated and simply doesn't feel the need to read. That is how empires fall people. Read up.

I doubt there is a problem with servers being overpopulated, which is the only real financial reason that they should do this.


Not sure many former players would come back and stay for this......

I am not sure either. But there are steps they can take to make it happen. A simple 2 days of a new PK server being out could show turbine either a turn for better or worse. There has to be a risk involved to make things happen. You gotta risk it to eat the biscuit. If not now, then when. That is what I'd like to know. Is AC going to crumble to the ground with 8 white servers and 1 pk server? Why SO MANY WHITE servers? There has to be a new PK server. Just gotta be.

You are looking over the one major fact that makes this pointless: That it is simply not going to happen.

How do you think this is going to happen?

Why do you continue to spend the precious hours of your life on this matter?

Do you sincerely think that they are going to read this post and say, "Oh, SoulTaker123 made a fine post. Check this out Frelorn! I never thought of it that way man, yeah, let's do this!"

That is the way your psychology is working and it is silly. You can have trouble finding a fight on Darktide during certain hours of the day, what makes you think it is appropriate to open another whole server/world? YOU are just looking at the benefits. YOU can't see why this won't work because you are thinking selfishly.

What about all the people who have a job/wife/kids/mortgage and worked so hard to level up on Darktide? Do you think they will be able to fork out the time to hack it on this new server? Because money won't do them any good, they can't buy an account on the new server.

I just wanted to do your thinking for you on this one. Take care.

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.



The only issue I had with starting on DT was never the level.. it was the retarded attitude of 95% of the DT player base. Get rid of the retards though and the DT server is like the white servers and only has 100 people on it at its strongest time. If people are interested in PK they will just go PKL on a white server, then maybe try going red.

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!



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.


Yeah Bou_Te, quit talking about babble! Clearly SoulTaker123 knows what he is talking about here...

I like how anyone who has an opinion other than that of ST123's obviously doesn't know anything or doesn't read.

With populations down so low, why on earth would you want to add yet another server to further split things up? The reason I don't play on DT, is not because I am afraid of all the level 275's, it's because I don't like PK. If a new PK server rolled out that put everyone on an equal footing, I still wouldn't go there. Plus, it would take about a week for a few fellows of hardcore macroers to out level the majority of the playing field, and you'd end up with the exact same situation you have on DT now, just on a somewhat smaller scale.
