Hi Funcom.
An idea to get this game more populated would be to get some better servers. A cap up to 40 players is just too small…
And the lag that often happens is really a turnoff for most players…
I guess you have heard this before

40 seems ok for xbox, haven’t seen a full server since ios released. Even ios servers are losing numbers now that players would rather refresh than risk thralls and their gear…
Want servers to fill back up? roll the game back 3 years in most aspects and boom, it will be fun and players will come back.

Seriously though, there are about 8 loggers i see from 3 different clans, one or 2 players sams clans, and a level 12 down in the river somewhere. That the list i see when i log.
And those dozen or so players have giant walkways from one biome to the next. Goes from the savanna south to noob river, then turns east to the jungle. SO MUCH LAG!!! Server hold 40, i see 12- 15 just ruin a server. Maybe more slots is more poison?

When I say better servers, I mean servers who can handle more players of course 
Better servers costs more money (believe me, I been researching server companies in case I decide to relocate my three servers). Funcom is not making money having “free” servers. They receive revenue only on sales although the free servers are a marketing tool for the game. Plus Funcom already has a contract/deal with Gportal so they couldn’t / wouldn’t move at this time. Gportal servers are fairly decent for Conan Exiles even with tons of mods and their customer services has been good. Yes, there been times a server had issues, but it wasn’t all of Gportal servers. That could happen with any server company, like my friend recently had some issues with her server with a different company.
Private servers can have higher player base (70 I think is the highest I seen in the past) but I am sure they are paying a decent price for their server(s). As they say, you get what you pay for.

Yea I know its not cheap to run servers, but the game wont keep up with the other survival games with these low cap servers… they need to invest in this game or just quit it, IMO
Won’t keep up huh? Ah, so this is another “game is dead” meme thread. Haven’t seen that before. If player population on a server was a direct causation as you claim, then Valheim would never have succeeded and Atlas wouldn’t be averaging a player count that barely hangs around 1,000.
Or, as with the 5,000,000 other threads that also demand that all revenue be shifted to official servers and nothing else, you agree you will pay a premium for said servers. Paying for a game a single time isn’t going to pay those server rental bills. Or, join one of the many, many private servers available. Or pay for one yourself.

I would love to pay a monthly fee if they just get 100% better servers that wont lag and cheaters can break it…

So, you are asking for a complete and utter contradiction. Lovely! Brilliant idea there chap. To much lag? Try adding MORE players. That’ll lessen the lag right?
Only if you look strictly at official servers. Go check out some private servers you’ll see 70/70 servers where you can’t even log in because they are full.
Face reality people, no everyone plays officials. In fact, I would be willing to say more people do NOT play officials than do.
No, just…NO! Absolutely no.

Yes good in a way to not have a limit but it dosent mather when the server is (almost) never full to start whit. needs the other tools/toyes to make the server full first.
