Simplify Worlds, Improve Population & Stability.

Considering how dead some servers are, they must do something. As it stands its either make a new character on Bera or play a PURE SOLO game on other servers
Regardless of whether they do something, it's important for them to know how the players feel about... Anything really. I'm not defending them by any means, but you have to understand the importance of them knowing how players feel. If everyone where to stop posting about what they thought about events, good or bad, that's when things would really take a nosedive.
I was thinking Bera, Scania and reboot, everything else gets deleted.
If I ever lag again from there being too much people, I will rejoice tbh
While under population has it's issues, so does over population. There needs to be a balance, and having only those three servers would create a plethora of new issues. It's as I said, if the population proves to be too low, they can always merge more worlds. It'd be harder to deal with overfilling a server than having to merge again.
Bera: 30 Channels
Scania: 25 Channels
Reboot: 20 Channels
Am I the only person that sees this as a bad idea? Listen, just adding more channels doesn't change the fact that the server is going to be strained by the amount of players. In fact, adding more channels might just make it worse. For the last time, this is something that needs to be done carefully. If I had more data, I'd love to tell you what the overall playerbase would be for each server, but that information isn't available. The process of merging servers, while incredibly important, needs to be carefully thought out so we don't have another mess like this one.
You are being to optimistic in terms of believing the population is that high
I was thinking the same thing, as long as servers are stable, fewer services that are populated should be fine, this games population should NOT be enough to make anything lag
Edit- forgot a word
Even I have to admit, that is to overcrowded, when the game declines more, this will be an appropriate measure
And you're underestimating how many people there actually are. I get it, the population is leagues below what it once was, but you're acting like someone who hasn't eaten in two days and just walked into a buffet. Aside from saying that I'm being "optimistic", you haven't refuted any of my points. I don't see the problem with taking this process slow. How many times are we going to make the same mistakes because people like you are trying to rush things?
How many people do you think play maplestory at any given time (including bots) and how much can the servers handle?
I suppose I have been overly confident in stating what I believe about the population. But I believe the game will gradually decline anyways, meaning servers will need to be deleted anyways.
And also, I wish we could see the number of players at any given time that are logged in, as is possible in RuneScape
Judging by the server IP addresses, they not only have each server on its own box, but rather every 2-3 channels have their own box (every single channel in Reboot).
So, while Nexon stands to save some resources (or rather, pay AWS less) from allying or merging worlds, there will be no performance gains for the other servers.
Crowding everyone into a single world is a bad idea. I know some people like seeing tons of other people wherever they go, but personally I like the peace and quiet of MYBCKN, and would not like to be subjected to ks wars, laggy crowded event maps, and smega spam (which extra channels won't mitigate). I wish there was some way to make a "big city world" and a "small town world" and let the population sort itself out, but there are two issues with that: One is that there may be too many "small towners" which ends up making their world too crowded for them, and the other is all the people who are not currently active in-game so they can't leap and might find themselves in the "wrong" world when they return for the holidays or summer.
So, the best we can do, in my opinion, is ally or merge Windia, Broni, MYBCKN, and GRAZED, and maybe (maybe!) hold another world leap event after that, with Scania open.
And I agree. I'm not saying that deleting servers is something that shouldn't happen, and I definitely wish that we could see the population as well.
