Thread: An idea on how to handle low population - FLS please take a look

If server merges do happen again, it will be after Power and Prestige. In terms of marketing closing servers is bad for business. Once you announce a server close, the MMO bloggers and the websites start doing articles about your games inevitable demise. This makes people apprehensive to create accounts or continue to sub, what's the point in paying if the game isn't going to be around? Further, driving down your games population in...

Or FLS can just continue to ignore the low populations and do nothing because closing more servers is apparently worse than giving the remaining players some population density. They could go either way ... OH WAI

It's a good idea. Another way might be to give nations useful but finite resources (ie, port governances, or a national cash subsidy from the home nation), for which there is less competition from less populated nations on less populated servers.

I think the OPs idea is actually a pretty creative way of tackling the problem, granted it still needs some polish, the devils in the details as they say..but I mean just the general concept is pretty exciting in my humble opinion. To play devil's advocate here, and hopefully spark up some lively discussion as to possible solutions, I thought i'd point out a few of the more obvious hurdles to this. Example 1. Someone buys the game,...

That's a great idea too, there really is no excuse now with open and leagalized cross-teaming. I have to admit, it's not as bad as I thought it would be and has little to no impact on daily RVR. I'd love to be able to switch nations at will at the start of a map on a few of my toons. It'd be fun, probably would be a lot less butthurt people after a few maps. It'd almost be like pickup games of basketball. :P

When did you post anything about helping populations?
