Given the population of Penance, how many responses do you think you need to actually action this? Just do it.

Option 1 or 3 let people have their alts. Already a thriving community of AU players on Wild Growth that want their other characters. Thanks :).

Hard disagree that the sky is falling, sorry. It’s not completely dead.
As has been explained to you many times already, and even in the blue post, opening up FCM kills the server. There is no half measure that lets some stay and some go. It’s a disingenuous argument.

Option 3 please
I want this even more now knowing that CS is approximately 10 times larger. Up to 200ms extra sucks, but I’d rather that and not play in a ghost town. Ignore the 300 that are holding back thousands of players! You can’t make everyone happy, but let people chose. They can still play on a dead server, because shadowstrike is dying. It was always going to

Appreciate the devs taking the time to communicate. Understand you are busting your asses. Shadowstrike player here. Option 3 seems to me to be the best option. Being on a dead server will for sure cause me to quit. I am having so much fun on sod. Higher ping, while not optimal, probably won’t cause me to quit.

Option 1 from a Penance main since day 1. We cannot continue to exist on this server with any future.
Option 3 from an outsider seeing the SS situation, the vocal minority of top guilds want to lock everyone else in the server into supporting them. I don’t see this being possible long term and if the general player base is anything like Penance I imagine if this server merging gets rug pulled on us again most of us are just going to plain quit.

And your argument is that even though the server is dying, if you force as many people to stay as possible by removing their choice, then the server may continue to survive in a dead raid logging state for maybe another month. It’s insanely selfish that you want to remove other players choice because you don’t care whether or not they are able to find groups and just want low ping for the hour or 2 each week that you raid log. I personally want to enjoy playing an MMORPG, as an MMORPG. Not a lobby where I get to play for an hour a week with others and the rest it’s a ghost town.
Option 3. anything else is removing peoples individual choice to play how they want.

I have been playing on Shadowstrike since day 1, I agree that the population is not / will not be sustainable long term.
IMO a better solution will be:
Open FCM from both Shadowstrike and Penance to Wild Growth.
Reasons:
a) Wild Growth is on US West while Crusader Strike is US Central. This means, for the OCE region, a lower ping on WG instead of CS. From talking to guildies and also trying these servers myself, for most people in the OCE region, WG is 130-150 while CS is 200+. This is a significant difference in terms of ping.
b) Having both Shadowstrike and Penance transferring to the same server will also unite players from the OCE region on the same server, meaning it is easier to form guilds/raids on OCE prime time with a bigger population.

My argument is that the server isn’t dying. I’ve been getting plenty of groups even in non peak times, right at the end of the phase which is where population is typically at its lowest.
It’s insanely selfish to destroy the last OCE server for everyone else just because you’ve bought the narrative that the sky is falling.

PLEASE! The community is already split, we aren’t a unified community as it stands now. This server has had its chance, if the raid loggers wanted a thriving community they could have been less toxic months ago. I know many players who quit because Shadowstrike does not host actually chill raids. Warcraft Logs has corrupted most of Shadowstrike and I want none of it. Please do not trap me here I am currently a political prisoner in my own realm for standing against the blocked freedom.
Anyone who plays on shadowstrike knows you are straight up lying about finding groups during non peak times. Or are you talking about during P1?
Option 3 please! A lot of people would probably quit the game if the pvp server they chose to play on suddenly was forced into a pve server. The only viable option is number 3.

Option 1 or 3 please! The only real long term solution seems to be option 3.
The large majority of Penance just wants to be able to utilise an active LFG and actually play the game.
