About a week ago the free server transfers were opened for WAR. My Server, Badlands received an influx of people from Skull Throne and Magnus. It wasn't exactly a merge, so not everyone was forced to transfer.
For the first time, in a long time, I logged in to see both sides showing a Medium population. This wasn't even during prime time mind you. Speaking of prime time, I am not too sure when that is exactly for this server now.
There has been RvR on every tier since the transfers. I've been able to get scenarios on my alts which has made playing them much more fun. Remember the days people used to complain about scenarios? They are a much more enjoyable way for me to level. Tier 4 has been very active as well.
There have been some downsides though. It seems both sides are somehow playing at different times. Order at night and Destruction in the morning/afternoon. There are good fights to be found, but most of the time one side has a larger force. This may change as time goes on and things settle down.
The other drawback has been the community. I don't seem to recognize anyone anymore. As with anything social, cliques have developed in the form of closed warbands. These will all go away with time though. Once folks get to know each other the social aspect of the server will pick up.
It has been a fun week in WAR. Hopefully now that they are down to mostly populated, fun servers the population will start to grow.
