Dragon shard empty

I have noticed today that dragon shard was empty not like before it's possible that 80% players from dragon shard using exploits and they got banned I'm confused :confused:

    I was noticing the same thing.
    seemed like more than half the population was missing on the dragon server.

    Wasn't dragon like... the most popular Server followed by Mindflayer? Also it's a Monday.

    Mindflayer seems a lot less populated as well.

    Considering the game runs many instances on one shard, you could have just gotten a low pop instance. When I logged in this morning to quickly invoke at the campfire before work, it was very busy, spammy chat as normal. I could tell no difference.

    Mindflayer was never popular, as for less populated you people are just freaking out lol as it was already stated it's a monday the timezones are so different it's not even funny.
    When I logged on earlier it was just as populated as it always has been.

    More likely they quit because there was no wipe.

    Two days ago there were 150+ FULL instances of the Protector's Enclave. Right now (Gamer Rush Hour) there are 36 instances and most of them are at 50% capacity.

    GG Neverwinter. Rest in peace.

    Looks to me like the population tanked hard. Might had something to do with the 30+ people in ProEnclave talking about how they and a bunch of their friends that exploited didn't get banned and started handing out free cats. Pretty sure that discouraged a lot of people about how PWI said they handled the situation and its under control. Not to mention the lack of ACTUALLY fixing the problems with the game.

    People will bury their heads in the sands until they are the ones crying out for server merges. Game's done.

    Two days ago was Saturday.

    I mean really, did you even stop to think before typing?

    Servers were always going to be merged as stated by Cryptic/PWE.

    You know very well why they are posting this and it has zero to do with the actual population of the servers...

    When I played today, until about two hours ago, Dragon was as packed and as spammy as always. I haven't noticed any changes, not in my friends list or guild, either. Fast queues, too, but that was on my GF where it is almost always fast.

    I don't think its only about the exploits. All F2P games have a huge rush of people at the beginning, looking for something new to waste time on, then leave when they do whatever there is to be done.

    And lets be honest here - there isn't really anything "long term" about this game. Quick leveling + BoE endgame epics means a lot of people have seen everything there is to see and got everything they wanted to get. I mean, T2 instances are being quick-farmed how long after this game started?

    So it's simple. People tried it, did everything, seen everything, and they're off to find a new things to waste time on.

    Not to mention RIFT is going F2P soon, and is probably the strongest contender in F2P category.

    Yeah, considering they going to sell gear in teh cash shop, it's the strongest contender for "The Most Trolled Forum" thanks to all the "P2W lolz kiddies"

    The same people who falsely accused Neverwinter of being P2W now promote Rift, which features a cash store that sells raid level gear. The inconsistency is mind-boggling. :)

    This worries me. How many people out there DON'T know that it's Cryptic's intent and policy to merge all shards into a mega-server upon official "launch"? How many people, when the merge happens, will see it as "OMG servers merging already dead game RIP gg Cryptic!" and quit. One culling of the R-tards is good and all, but a second could be bad news...

    I think it's safe to say that most people don't.

    Strange, I logged off of Dragon just about the same time this thread popped up, and I was competing with 2 groups for mobs in the Cloak Tower area, and this morning there were about 50 people in the instance I was in in the second graveyard, the name escapes me now, also on Dragon. This is consistent with last Monday's population.

    Good riddance to the f2p moochers and exploiters.
