EU1 was 50+ yesterday, sure there's a natural decline but forum warriors beat the same dead horse while a lot of silent players are still playing and enjoying the game. I have players to fight with and against every time I log in and I'm just glad it's still running. Hopefully we'll see more return come Summer. There's nowhere else to turn if you want a Medieval four-directional combat game, so what if you're tired of it - no need to spam it incessantly (unless it's the 'mod iz ded' joke, which still has merit).
This is exactly the attitude that brings a game/mod/comunity to death (no joking), doing nothing when something is clearly goin bad.
Yesterday there were 50+ in eu 1? yes, but for how long? An hour maybe(i was there btw), and Eu2 meanwhile was like 10ppl online. Last year or bit more (can't remeber the period) there were 100+ on eu1 and like 50 on eu2 in the same time, now if u are lucky u have one server with 50 (but usually 40) and the other one with 0.
Numbers are not subjective, u can't discuss numbers like u do with stabs animation, ranged nerf or any other gamplay idea..that's just the way it is now crpg, with a third server, dtv, which constantly drains ppl from the others.
Now, u can discuss the idea of merge togheter eu1and2 ( wich i approve) becouse it's subjective, but i reapet: numbers are not.
