Well, as the we all know GW is Dying, slowly:P LIke it did 1year after its realese. District is getting less populated, and getting groups is getting much harder.. Altough, how to fix it that ppl will gather upp more and make dis more populated? What about removing some servers? Like i dont have anything against Asia or anything but Many of the Asian dis aswell and Polish,Italian,Spanish,Russian w/e we have, is usually quite empty.. Altough sometimes there is like 3persons in each dis.. But what about removing some of the unnecesary servers so we can say making the English Dis bit more populated?

Not that i make any sense, but removing some of the unnecesary servers so the others get more populated ?

Shouldnt this be in Sardelac? And fwiw, this is the stupidest idea I've heard all day. Some of us like to actually NOT be in districts full of tons of 12 year olds talking all kinds of nonsense which cause us really bad lag on load.

This is a Sardalec thread as was said by Faraaz.

That being said, definitely /not signed. the last thing I want to do is be forced into a dist with a load of kids who think acting like a cussing 6 yr old in a video game is cool (Have you seen the responses a French Canadian gets if he speaks French in the American dists??). Oh and yes, Canada is part of the American continent for those of you that arent aware....

I actually head for the less popular dists on purpose when I have to be in a place for a while. People know how to change districts if they want to in order to find a group.

(sorry faraaz, I seem to have said the same as you basically too..lol).

Anyway, it's not like people actually play together in PvE anymore.

Also the majority is still US players, so the servers would be more benificial to them, everyone else would have more lag.

lolololol hahaha TA no players that is not because of servers its because of sync!!!!!

btw, not signed on removing servers

1) I like empty server for pve, nice and quiet. i forgot the most important thing, I do not get lag on Asian Server
2) If there are only 1-3 players in the Asian district like you say, don't you think its moot to move them to the more populated district? 3 more?? what different does that make?
3) Don't go to deserted server if you like crowd lol top left hand side, click and go to populated server.

Like you said, there aren't many players in the Asian or Polish districts etc. Would be kind of useless closing these districts for the sake of increasing players in others, seeing there aren't much of them to move. What would you win if these were closed, and they needed to go to the English/International? You'd only see people chatting in languages you can't understand.

Just a thought; if everyone who thinks GW is dead or dying didn't post on Guru for 1 week maybe we could see who is left. I doubt it would work as the habit of trolling is hard to break. As to the OP /notsigned, What happens with fewer servers on a event weekend?

I'll trust you on that.

Just because I think Diablo 2 is dead/dying doesn't mean I won't play it. I mean, it's free. It's not like I have to renew a subscription.

I don't think you know enough about how the game's servers work to say that removing districts would save server space.

Or instead of getting rid of the servers making them run something else? (Such as JQ and FA) I think that would be a better idea.

Oh the joys of seeing "you f'ing communist bastard, get the f off our servers", from the US players everytime an asian script appears in local chat.

Followed up by lagging so badly I need to restart.

I'm not fond of lag at all, but forcing the asian servers shut just so that you can abuse, and subsequently NOT TEAM with players who play on the asian servers just seems stupid.

Furthermore you are forcing players to play on server which they experience some pretty bad lag on. Not just on weekends, but all the time. Every single trip to the NA server in the last year and a half has ended up with me rebooting my PC after the game and subsequently my whole computer freezes up to the point of requiring a reset, upon trying to enter an explorable. No thank you.

lol this post pretty much nailed everything
The American districts I am in, people already are calling each other "nig.ger" "je.w" "c.hink" just because of their profession race. Just imagine the French, Asian, Spanish texts on local chat and what the Americans will say.
Laggy for foreign players too.

You have party search.

The game is already large enough that even collectively, you'd be pressed to find a group. After all, not everyone wants to do the same thing you want to at that time.

Even if you combine everyone into one server, I'd still refuse to group up with any of you since even a team of pure hench is good enough to get things done quickly, quietly and without any Chuck Norris jokes.

I am not sure how Anet has there servers set up but I am sure if the Polish or Russian dist were costing them more then they thought would be appreiate then I am sure they would shut them down.

As mentioned before, the largest dist are the American dist and closing down other dist would not generally lead to a larger influx of players. On a side note I have never seen someone get flamed in local chat for using a different language, (they may get a pm) I have seen someone ask if they could get an asian guild tag however.

This is a bad idea. I mean, Spanish districts are ftw if you want some peace and quiet. Not even the Feds will come looking for you in Ice Tooth Cave, Spanish district.

If you want more players just hop to the USA servers and there are usually lots of peeps.
Speaking of servers I wish Anet would give Australia / NZ our own server.

A lot of the players in the American Districts are European, just because a lot of the European players like Germans and the French have their own districts, so they will go there instead of to the European Districts, and other languages/countries don't have these districts, so these people usually end up going to the American Districts because the main European Districts tend to be less full. There are more European players than you might expect, just check out the Guild balance:

Global Statistics
America 224 Guilds 22.4%
Taiwan 10 Guilds 1.0%
Europe 720 Guilds 72.0%
Japan 35 Guilds 3.5%
Korea 11 Guilds 1.1%

Of course, this doesn't reflect the amount of US players.
