Have you tried joining a guild in your current server and making new friends?
during my time back to this game after the world leap, I did try to make new friends and join a guild. However, as a result I found that they were pretty cliquey, and when I left, I was bullied and called a scammer by the leader of that guild due to pettiness and spite and this was said in front of numerous other players even though I had been cordial about leaving. This made me feel upset and as a result I shut myself out from talking to people and deleted people who knew about it from my buddy list. Also, an anonymous person had tried to impersonate my ign to cause drama in this server by using the fake letter tactic. I already sent in a ticket regarding that but these are just some examples of why I feel unhappy in this server.
On the contrary, I think many would believe that their motivation to play this game comes from the people around them that play as well. I for one was certainly more motivated when some of the other people I knew were playing and trying to accomplish certain goals with their character. Nowadays I feel like these goals are more of a chore or task that I'm just forcing myself to do, which are things people have given up on at this point and just ceased playing altogether.
The "core gameplay" can be considered many things and can also have different interpretations for people at various levels of the game. All I can really do is just keep grinding now for "more numbers", but in the end I don't think that some of the less populated servers have as much of an opportunity in this game as the more populated ones and perhaps vice versa I guess. I think that there are definitely some parts of the game that I can enjoy alone, however at some point a less populated and quiet server is just not as fun to play in and I'd be willing to suffer the cons for the pros in this case.
Hello, I think GMS would benefit a lot from merging all of the reg servers into one server with more channels. As it stands, Bera makes up about 14% of the population, Scania is 9%, Aurora is around 7%, and Elysium is around 6%. Compared to Reboot server, all these servers merged into one would still be less of a population than that server. Many people are starting to quit this game and the servers feel a lot less populated, causing a loss of motivation within the player base. I also have friends in Bera server that I'd like to play this game with again that I was separated from years ago due to world transfer since I was taking a break at the time. If new players were to decide to play this game, they would most likely go to Reboot, due to the higher overall population, which doesn't help any of the non-reboot server's case.
With the recent fixes and upkeep to the channels of various servers, I think it would be a good chance to consider merging the non-reboot servers into one server with 30 channels. This would overall increase the health of the game, bring motivation to people and possibly bring back some players who have left this game. From a personal point of view, it feels bad that I can't be in the same server as my friends that I have made in the past on this game due to not being around for one server transfer, which is a problem that many others deal with on this game as well. I'm not in the position to drop everything on my current server and start fresh either, because I would lose way too much progression and it would be devastating to start from the beginning. That being said, I hope that this is taken into consideration as I genuinely believe that something like this would help the current state of the game. I know many other people that can agree with me about this and I would like to see this suggestion taken into consideration and possibly implemented sometime in the future. Thank you.
