[UI] Movible accounts

If the game is dying on certain servers or 2 large questionable clans took the server over because low player numbers, and DO is not going to merge these servers....

PLEASE make our accounts transferable. I sent 1 year and spent alot of cash building a ship on East 3. That server is dead. 2 clans take over all events and we do not have enough players to balance the pvp. Once the event is over everyone logs out and then the maps are empty. So my choices are fight against 20 to 1 odds, fight for 4 cubes that take 5 min to refresh, or quit.

Lets make the accounts have the ability to move to various servers 1 time every month. Let these very expensive accounts go to a more balanced server. I would make the ships that want to switch meet certain requirements before being allowed to move.

1. I think lvl 22 or higher should be the first requirement. This will reduce the ships leaving and give lower lvl players something to work towards.

2. Any ship wanting to move should not have any ban stages on it. No reason to let cheaters move.

3. I think a 25% ep and honor deduction would limit the players switching unless they really want to.

 

Why should we lose any honor at all just because DO/BP didn't have the insight to see what LF4 and bots have done to this game.

 

You loose honor when changing companies, its only natural it would happen for servers as well. Plus they will claim we should have just selected the destination server in the first place.

 

The game is not dying but the servers decreasing is do to the lack of Advertising on DO part the last game I ever saw a ad video was for galactica but I dont see any for Darkorbit there Advertising is so bad,and they cant pull the game saying oh we dont have the money for it bc they def do they have so many games and if you smash all the games together easily 2mil players.

 

Allowing players to move their accounts would also stop a lot of the account trading/selling. Most of the players moving servers now are either trading buying accounts on the new sever. Yes this game is dying.

 

I see everyone converging onto 2 or 3 servers... all others would be DEAD

 

LOL - change servers and you lose half

 

Hell no, I say let the murderers of the dead servers stay in the dead servers.

 

being able to move ur account to another more populated server would be nice, but u place some of the criteria to high.
1. Lvl 22 is way to high most players in this game aren't even close to that and it takes more than a year to get there, (Lvl 19 and above),
this allows people to change if possible.
2. lose of EP or Hon should not an issue, because when I first started on this Server, it was well populated, but most people have either
quit, sold their accounts and bought new accounts in more populated Servers, most of the time people just get tired of DO/BP's Inactivity
to take action promptly.
3. There should be only Two(2) Servers per country in stead of half a dozen, so combine those dead or dying servers and form one or two
large Servers in each country.
4. More people allowed to transfer accounts from one server to another, would mean more competition between players, there would be
better turn out for events, and missions wouldn't take months to complete, because of server inactivity.

 

Nope, they should stay in those dead servers or start from scratch.

 

what u going to do when they start combining servers which they eventually are going to do, or lose lots of money, and urs is one of the servers they combine do u want to start over?

 

Hell no, the ones that murdered their servers should be forced to do so!!!
If that day comes it will happen after lf-4's are in shop, them transplant accts are the ones that should be starting from scratch since they are more than likely the reason for their own dead servers.

 

How is it anyones fault that their set server is dying, I personally quit a little after the new auction house(purely due to boredom), now that ive came back USA West is beyond empty, after scouting the lowers i found 4 ships on all maps that were not at the base, 2 of em being nearly UFE, the story in uppers isnt much better, its obvious this game is losing players, but keeping the servers as they are would cause even more players to leave, i dont see why I should start over on another server, whilst i did nothing wrong on the first one.

 

Well if you were on the server around the time you posted this, then no wonder it was empty. Middle of the night... People work and have school.

 

lvl 22 is not that hard to reach. Also i can make a lvl 19 ship in less then 3 weeks. Most lvl 22 ship are either UFE or really close. They also will have most of the NPC quest done or near done. Anything less takes away from a goal to work towards.

Starting over on a new sever should not be an option. Locking you equipment to your global ID in lieu of the Users ID should not be hard. Then switching servers would be easy. As for the ep and Honor I think moving a server should hurt a little but not half. 25% is a nice number and in most cases will not be hard to get back.

For accounts that have multiple servers on it have the players choose the serve he or she wishes to use as a starting point. Then move the equipment from the other account to the main 1. or they can have an option to keep all the account the same and create a new login for each server being played.

 

this is cool, i say yes XD really consider this DO. only if we keep our ship and stuff, if you will just delete servers, then no

 

Agree but new players find hard to go further in game coz everyone kill them.

I think they are too many servers...at some games I saw they combined 2 servers to make one...I persnally find this better..I play on GA3 and that servers is half dead.

 

DO needs to start advertising itself again, then more people would join...

 

okay. let me just say that i have played darkorbit for a very long time. since the game barely came out. i love this game and really enjoy playing. however, lately my server has definitly decreaced in activity. i would love to try another sever however i cant. and theres no way that id restart. thats a waist of my spent time and money. also, even lvl19 is way too high. anyone with a life at all would be playing for a lot longer than a year to reach that and NOBODY wants to play a dead server that long. id say lvl 16 and 10% ep and honer to switch. i think that would be fair and i really hope the DO team considers this.

 

You can advertise as much as you want but for as long as we have this insane ''Beginner - UFE'' gap, it will be verry hard to attract new players. The gap is only getting bigger, I feel like advertising would be a waste of money and time now, bigpoint first needs to solve the BIG problems they currently have, or they need to confine themselves to rich people with to much time, which unfortunately, are not there. I really don't get any of the recent updates, fancy drone designs, graphics, formations, the pussat and chirurg. Almost all of these updates make it much harder and less fun for new players. In my opinion there have been only 2 good updates this year. First of all, 3D mode is something I consider to be a good update as it decreases lagg on slower computers and could therefore attract new ones. The second update that I consider to be a good one would be the reduces prices for hangars. But that's it, 2 good updates in over 9 months now. If this game runs empty you can merge servers, add events and drone designs / formations all you want, but it won't help.

I also feel like we have a problem here, since bigpoint is most likely never going to remove nor change lf4, havoc / hercules and upgrades. There will always be an insane gap between new and UFE players, which can't be breached by spending even a thousands dollars :I And I feel like exactly that, is what makes people switch to easier games.
