    People who recommend going to TR for PvE are idiots. If you want PvE content, then go to MT, if you are scared of dying when you (never) go outside of Highwatch's city walls, then go to TR.

    Sure TR is the most popular PvE only server, but it's absolutely less populated in terms of players who do content than MT.

    Generalizing everyone that recommend TR for PvE as idiots only makes you look like an even bigger idiot. Sure, MT has a bigger population, but fact is, MT is PvP and a lot of people do not like to deal with griefing and lowbie ganking (which are common activities in MT) so their chose TR, which gives a better environment for those people.

    Lowbie ganking literally never happens because 1) from level 20 to 60, you should be in a dungeon and 2) no one does it outside of patch days.

    Nerfing yourself and then crying about your servers populations is the same as shooting yourself in the foot.

    wasnt mt the server that cried when vanarch of lumbertown disabled pvp? or their "best" guilds premades doing stupid [filtered] in battlegrounds? whenever i see mt premades on my team its %75 of the time lose cus of them and being toxic all over the place?

    @vkobe as someone whos in global a lot, i know of aetona. and showing global as someones reputation proof is pretty [filtered] stupid.

    in same time i dont know you in tempest reach :)

    u actually do. whenever i talk in global u spam "cook the turkey".

    @thread - Haven't been playing in a while, but last I was on, TR did look a bit scarce. Does that mean the server has low population, or that it's dying? No. It means we're in a dead zone right now with patches and no one wants to play. It happens every content patch, nothing new, just this time there's been such little (meaningful) content lately that it's probably worse than it has been in the past - we've been on our current gear sets for quite a while, and we won't get new ones for another 3 months or more.

    Solo dungeons really aren't worth logging in for, and DSL/DSU is pretty stale at this point since they don't even bother to change it up any every time it's "revamped", so EME's been throwing a bunch of events at us in the hopes of keeping some people occupied. Obviously isn't working much, like it never does. And it's likely not TR-specific; I'd suspect every server's seen a decline in population in the past couple of months.

    I thought some1 said NA Tera was on a 3 month schedule or like we 1-2 months behind.

    So NA Tera is still on a 6 month schedule like how it used to be?
    If so trolololol no wonder

    No, it is on a 3-4 month schedule pretty much (was longer for a while), but in the past 3 months, what new content have we gotten? Solo dungeons, Manglemire. That's it. Can't really call those big content patches, since we're still on VM7, and SSHM is still the main big dungeon, along with DSU, which we've already had twice now before this. It's getting old.

    We normally would've had new sets by now, and thus more to progress toward, but with nothing to progress toward, people stop logging in. As far as gear goes, it's been way overdue to get new (not revamped old) content or new gear, but we'll be waiting another 3 months since KTERA only just got it. They were in a dead zone for content/gearing until that too. You can probably expect populations to keep declining until that patch comes.

  • *****wasnt mt the server that cried when vanarch of lumbertown disabled pvp? or their "best" guilds premades doing stupid [filtered] in battlegrounds? whenever i see mt premades on my team its %75 of the time lose cus of them and being toxic all over the place? ******

    I'm pretty confident that MT's ranks are higher than TR's for BGs . JS lol...

    I have 65s on both servers so i did my research...

    I could dare say that we are having less gear and content updates because all those other things BHS wants to also do. Revamps here, mobile games there, Tera for consoles. They may be spreading thin. We all know they are not as big nor as skilled as, say, Blizzard. So indeed, the game's hard core population might eventually tire and move on.

    As for what server has the best players, I believe that title is and will keep being for MT on both pvp and pve for now. Basically being the top pvp server is what forces it to also be the top pve server because of gear needs. MT is the cool kids club and is where everyone who wants true end game should be. And as the overall Tera population is reduced, all the other servers will see less and less end game runners and people will concentrate on MT.

    A single server where one can tag oneself to pvp at will, and where those tagged for pvp can't attack those untagged (a system similar to BnS), could be a good thing to have. Everyone would be in the same boat and the economy would be centralized. But that would probably require a lot of setting up and the server needed would need to be much bigger and faster.

    Lastly, and since the comment keeps coming and apparently nothing will stop it from coming again and again, I already explained myself as to why some people prefer pve and don't want to pve. BUT some people will keep thinking for their whole lives that people who aren't into pvp are cowards who shouldn't be playing games at all. So I'll try to refrain myself from re-explaining that my choice of staying in pve has nothing to do with cowardice or fear to lose. But to each their own and whatever floats their boats. I've done enough 'pvp' combat in real life (where you can lose much more than just virtual currency or a few minutes of your life) to know I'm not a coward. :3

    Merge was long time overdue.

    I know its steam, but nothing else to go by unless EME publishes peak hour numbers:

    http://steamcharts.com/app/323370

    Went from 25,000 to 2700 for all 6/7 servers combined. That's a retention ratio of 1% well below the 3% which is considered norm for f2p games after 1 year. At certain hours < 1100 people logged on through steam so if we use steam to represent the whole well meh. What is clear though, spreading out 1100 or even 2700 players across 7 servers is ridiculous. Thats less than 400 ppl per server if everything was equal, but we know dead servers exists so its more like 80% on MT 20% the rest. Yes using 80/20 rule speculation cuz why not.

    In beginning of January Tera at one point did surpass FF14, but ever since downward spiral to current low numbers we see today.
    It picked up in May 2016 guess new release iunno. Then numbers just takes a dive down to rock bottom at times hitting DCUO PC numbers.

    I am very sorry to hear that. But i speak on my experience as an Ex MT player. My main server was always TR, but there was a time when i decided that i wanted to test something different. So i went to MT as people kept saying it was a good server. I was a fool. The moment i arrived to Lumbertown, i was greeted with lowbie gankers who kept saying "git gud nub" or stuff similar to that. Change channels? sure it helped for at least 5 minutes until someone decided to come and not let me do quests for his own "Fun". Somehow i managed to get to lvl 60 when that was the cap, and i was greeted by another form of griefing: Undergeared gank. Literally if i put one foot outside of safe zones, it was 100% sure that a few steps away there was someone waiting for me, just to kill me, and it happened ALL THE TIME.

    Now do you want me to talk about how MT was the server who kept feeding on 3s and FWC and then cried about PvP being dead?

    It really doesn't matter what a few top end parties are capable of doing, when 99% of any given server won't ever play with those people, and as such, won't be affected at all by being on a server with a couple points more in pve.

    It's also funny someone wants to complain about being unable to get groups on TR, when that person has had absurd requirements (+15) for just something as simple as FINM (even after the nerfs to it).
  • @vkobe yes.

    @zoknahal stop saying the truth. didnt you read? tr is for idiots!
