4 people possibly leaving that I know off. Please don't be so cocky to assume that no others are thinking the same way.
Mostly I respect your views Quinlan, even if I don't always agree with them, but the point I am making is that GOA, and to an extent the European player base cannot be complacent about the current game population. To assume that one action (in this case clustering) will lead to improvements, without considering the down-sides, could be a very dangerous thing to do. All I'm trying to point out is that if one particular course of action is followed it does not automatically follow that everything will get better for everyone.
Also, one other thing not mentioned so far in the clustering debate is that when they did it in the States, all the population bonusses were re-set to the default i.e. all servers, for a while had the 7 day timer for the free level. Would the Prydwen community be happy if the 2 day free level was lost and restored back to 7?
Brian,
Just as you do i (in this case) only look at it from my POV. I basically only RvR with my only chars i have on Hib/Pryd. I couldnt care less if i can or can not play on the other 2 realms.
As for the population bonusses. I also dont care that much since i dont PvE. The BP issue also isnt that much since with clustering there will be more guilds to claim keeps/towers.
Also alot of people i know will be renewing for Clustering. I _assume_ this will be more then the amount of people leaving.
Ofcourse i understand your concerns as you like other things in game then i do and (lucky you) have enough time to play on multiple realms. But in regards to clustering these are my reasonings why i would love it.
