Who says it's wrong? Keep in mind that:165 ppl? Whats wrong ?
- it's a non-pvp world
- with restricted access (only premium)
- starting in the morning on the least active day of week
Unlike other OT servers, we didn't really want to "accumulate" all the playerbase in the first hour. Quite opposite, we purposely scheduled the launch for Saturday morning to prevent overcrowding Rookgaard, and we expect new players to be joining over time. It's a long-term and low-rate server, so it shouldn't really make much difference if you're late a few hours or days (especially since we're talking about non-pvp). For the same reason, only premium players are allowed to log in during the first week, which naturally limits the starting numbers, but a long-term server isn't a "sprint" - it's a "marathon".
From our perspective, it doesn't matter how many players logged in the first minute, but how many will ultimately want to keep playing. Tibiantis never had huge online numbers, but is still active after 6 years, unlike many servers that we saw pop up and vanish during that time. Sure, we could open a new pvp world, with free premium, brag about "1000 online" on day 1, and then make "editions" after "editions" to keep them hooked in. But that's not the point, and we don't care for the initial hype itself. The goal of the new world is to be an alternative to the existing pvp server, so that they can complement each other (not compete). Ideally, we would like to see both of them equally populated and active (not just e.g. one full and the other empty). This may not meet the expectations of everyone, but this is our approach.
Ah, argumentum ad runemakerum, long time no seeNothing, did you really expect more players caring about this start when as FACC you are behind 7 days + there's high chance that later (few eeks) playerbase will look like on main server with mostly makers to sell runes? (incoming rant about how they are real players etc)
+ there's server with community that have similiar idea of gameplay that kay thought about opening this non-pvp but they play on fibula and will stay there
