Forums @ Prydwen.net

Having read all the threads about iRVR, defending the realm, taking keeps etc. etc, a common theme is that things have become worse since clustering took place. There are definitely those who think that the community spirit of Prydwen before clustering has been destroyed by the influx of players from Excalibur, since clustering.

Now, we can all see the benefits of clustering, but if it's going to continue to be a cause of ill-feeling, then maybe it would be better to uncluster Excal and Prydwen? Yes, there are implications behind this, but maybe things would be better if it happened.

So, are there any players who would be willing to go back to unclustered servers, i.e. restore things to how they used to be?

Nope, the server would die without it being Clustered, it will eventually neways, but haveing it like before would be crap, because you wouldent have anything to fight atall almost.

High pop on a server is good, it might have disadvantages, but haveing a very low pop is still much worse.

yea, cos irvr sucks.. /sarcasm off ;[

I'd only uncluster the servers if you could give everyone a choice of which one became their new home. That way people who like irvr etc can all go to one server; people who like fg/soloing etc can go to the other and everyone is happy.

afaik its impossible to uncluster now its done, and why would you want to anyway? server would die without cluster.

Think they are able to uncluster, I can recall mythic being able to do so, don't know about GoA.

As much as I would like to have the servers unclustered, I don't really think it is an option at all, there simply aint enough players at the moment.

I didn't want the cluster in the first place, but I voted Don't Know, as the player population is indeed too low - close the classic servers imo.

Nice idea but dont think it will ever happen.

Restrict poll to Pryd players as we know it's the Excal ones that want iRvR

Reason that iRvR is so attractive is simply that there are not enough naturalists being played to make groups that have some staying power.

With or without cluster this fact doesn't change.

And as long as Hibs don't let Albs and Mids play in their own frontier, then the average rps per Hib are far better. Frankly as is with iRvR Hibs are loosing out most as they get sandwiched and everybody but Hibs makes more rps.

And as other stated: The effect of unclustering can be done much more energy efficient - switch the servers off. Same effect.

most of the current problems are not problems to do with the cluster they are problems to do with our own tolerance of each other. Excallies are a nice bunch in the main actually all we have to do is grow up and recognise that a lot of us prefer a different game that we did previously. Move rather than kill iRvR imo.
