Motivating people to stay

I'm having a hell of a time trying to keep people playing this game. I know they wont do a server merge or allow us to move our toons to another server that is more populated. So, we sink a couple hundred dollars into a game full of ghosts. It is depressing watching people give up. So, I'm asking Rom, what they intend to do to generate new players because the old players are lonely, bored and surrounded by half statted dwarf alts.

My worry is they'll shut the AU server down. It'll be disappointing to lose the electronic assets we've all built up over time. Hope they transfer us instead of 'thanks but goodbye'. I'm trusting any non-disclosure from Frogster is in good faith to maintain the servers rather than hiding the fact so we continue to use our expendable income.

The guilds I've joined can't do instances simply because of the lack of players. Disappointing. I've only ever done one.

Hey guys, hiya gigi mon ami ;)... There is another thread going on this very topic. Aetherth is seriously trying to push our case of transferring our toons to more populated servers. He has responded to us several times in the other thread and I have faith that this will happen. I am so happy that there are so many people expressing the need for this!! This is an awesome game when your able to play it the way it is meant to be played. I really really do not want to leave ROM so I choose to be optimistic that things will turn around for us.....

Hang in there guys!!! keep the faith!!

Prolly Govinda.. Tho I havent seen a Govinda guild in the top ten in seige forever.. So I'm doubting their server too.

Awww Gigi, if they let us transfer toons we will decide together which one. It's not just the 2 of us there are others that would move as well. First step is for them to say YES ;). Then we will have a pow wow to decide as a group where we go. And i dont want to go Reni either. That guy in the pink hat scares me :eek:....Ha ha, just kidding Rusty!!

Idk what you are talking about guys really I see many people joning game and doing hos, dl, zs. In my guild we can do any runs at almost any time. And many people join our guild all the time. Well mabe its just noto but the way I see palenque looks like population is growing.

Seriously Narix11, walk around Varanas that place is a ghost town compared to last year. Your probably a new player, and your in a guild with a high turn over. How many do you see actually getting to be endgame, and staying longer than a year?

Odd, maybe I'm missing the population, am I just in the wrong channel? I see more white/black spotted cows in the front of Varanas than players total playing....
