I am just hoping that some international guilds will join this server ex. NATG or some famous person like Donald Trump since we are based again in US.
This was the original thought and why we moved the server from USA to Malaysia. We figured the majority of players were from SEA and we expected the server to grow by moving there… but that was not the case.
BG and WoE are both very inactive in comparisson to when the server was hosted in USA, and the server has not grown. For the last couple of months even SEA players have been complaining about lag. In addition, donations dropped by 90% since moving the host to SEA… becase most donators are from America, Canada or Europe.
So not only has the server population declined, but we also alienated the players who actually donate and pay for the server expenses. Eventually we could have dwindled to a point where there are no donators to support the server expenses and we would of had to close.
In all honesty we did not see any benefit for keeping the server in SEA based on the factors mentioned below:
1. Dwindling overall community
2. SEA players still complaining about lag even while hosted there
3. Allienated non SEA players
4. Drastic drop on donations to pay server expenses
5. BG and WoE dead due to small population and lag complains
6. Weak performance in V4P and RMS reviews from current population
