Server population decrease of consistent players

Hello Devs!

Please stop making new servers for some time. Allocate new players that download and install the game into older servers like Server 1. I’ve been noticing a decrease of consistent players that play regularly, not the players that download and play a couple weeks and stop entirely (or play only once every weekend).

It’s getting tough recruiting people if it’s always the same people on the server (or people from other servers making accounts on Server 1 just to test out content for a little while) and the attrition is becoming more apparent.

Infuse the older servers with newer people or promote the game more in other media. TV, stick it in the beginning of a Marvel/Disney movie, put ads on Hulu during Runaways or when Agents of SHIELD comes back. Let people find out about this game so more people play it.

Im server 3. The size decrease is quite drastic, maybe even find a way to merge servers, or place new to game in old servers with the ability to level quickly to 75% of level cap as f2p as possible

Putting new players in old server (especially s1) is the stupidest idea ever. Imagine you have to compete with players that are 9 months ahead of you.

Pfft it wouldn’t be to hard in a way…it would be easy up to a certain point.

If one was added to an older server, but had leveling perks, the only issues would come from acquiring heros to level, if all things were were at 2x( badges/ stamina/ leveling/ gold and so on) up to 75% of cap then the competitive edge would be attainable for new to server.

Even if it was 5x there would be 0% for new players to catch up. Not to mention it would be totally unfair for both side. Old players need 6 months while new players only need 1-2 months to reach a certain lv . And why do new players get punished with having 0 chance to compete dispite doing everything they can.
The bottom line: merging server is good while putting new player in old server is .

But what if you put 500 new players in a server with 500 old players? The numbers stay even and the new players can grow together with possibly some bonus help from older players. You are assuming it is one player by them self when in rwality it wouldnt be.

But they can always switch to new servers because … why not. I mean honestly when you start to play any game, and you can choose your server, do you choose the old one or the one with the shiny word “new” stick to it.

You fail to look at the aspect that a whale is a whale, the players who put in the money like a whale does will reach top ranks if they desire, there are many f2p people in these diminishing servers who play at their own pace with others who do as well, and they have every bit as much fun as myself who spend $15-$20 a month, its a game to play with others, it would be devastating for all parties big and small for a server to just shrivel up and die.
