I MAIN played in Siptah before move to exiles Because Siptah IS EMPTY and i like to play with others people and make friends.
i still own my base in Siptah 8144 and renew It all days you are the only one don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. 
Its weekend and you can check now no siptah oficial server have more 5 people online in Pc xbox or ps5…
When funcom gived away for free Conan the numbers of players blowed up many empty servers filled with New players and many of It players buyed the battle pass , many things in bazar and some dlcs.
Holding Siptah with no players dont give Any income for funcom and Just make They waste money holding a empty server for Just a Guy like @Voc41, also They waste time when trying to add New updates to Siptah again a empty map.
But If They give It away maybe many old and new players didnt buyed Siptah Because all bugs and because the servers are always empty maybe Begin to play in Siptah and with It They Will buy battle pass , bazar items and maybe some dlcs paying the idiot cost $20 and giving New income to funcom , the server Will be filled and everyone Will be happy Just @Voc41 Will be unhappy Because he wanna be the only one to have the “rare” recipes from Siptah 
It’s all good. I paid for Siptah. I have all the recipes and I have transferred many times between the maps.
I prefer Siptah and always will. It doesn’t matter how many players there are, I will always be here supporting the server I play on.
Making it free will just increase popularity of the map. That’s fine with me.
I’m just glad I chose to play on Siptah and utilize everything the game has to offer. I can’t imagine playing any other way.
Personally, this one does believe the Map for Siptah should be moved to the Base Game content.
The three armour sets and two build sets are enough to justify the cost for the DLC in the current monetization scheme and still be a bargain.
As for low population…
1.It’s an RNG slot machine.
2. It seems like it was designed initially to be an end/post game PvP arena. That idea went over like a lead balloon.
3. There are large chunks of the map that are both no build zones and have nothing to interact with.
4. Having locations and situations where the game crashes constantly does nothing to promote participation. For those who lost their builds during the TMNT revolt, what incentive is there to go back?
5. Performance seems to randomly take a nose dive, as opposed to Exiled Lands where performance takes expected, understandable nose dives.
4 was the most significant recently. It wiped a swathe of the player base on this one’s server.
Sipta was never great nor was it even good. Title should be “Make Sipta good for once”.
Joking aside, and I know I’m alone in this, I miss not having camps on Sipta. Needing to get Thralls in a different way from what you do in the Exiled lands was fun and refreshing. I’m disappointed that they adding fixed camps.
They nerfed the Maelstrom and disabled server transfers. the devs know what they’re doing
Now Siptah rng is reduced and balanced i believe. “Migo companion” fighters drop constantly Schematic fragment pages which makes maelstrom very beneficial for players. If you take a thrall in the middle of the tower for training, even without authority points your thrall will easily survive, the fight is chaotic, beautiful and probably you’ll get up to 5 recipes just from a single maelstrom. Which makes sense since all crafted items are no better than legendaries.
Purges drop all the religions now.
Every tier of surge provides hardened steel weapons, cooked meals, buffs, so a player who has just on swirling chaos and ten hardened steel bars can go in a shrine and start a surge to gear up, lvl up and gain buffs and healings. Tier 4 surges drop, i don’t know, a ton of legendary weapons, just enough to equip a small army from a single tier 4 surge.
Generally Siptah is freaking rich and less punishing to literally everything.
Siptah is very enjoyable right now, a new player would love this map as it is immediately.
You have every right to be upset/angry/bitter about what happened to the player base on your server.
I completely 1000% understand. I have lived through it also.
When all of that transpired on my server the rest of us elected to rebuild and push through. Only reason I’m still playing is because of other players. If I didn’t have them, I wouldn’t have a reason to play.
When was the last time you played on Siptah? It’s changed a lot.
The 2 Siege Camps are super fun. I built a Trebuchet near one and a Ballista near the other. I wholeheartedly love to blow them to pieces.
They drop end game mats like candy. Perfected Light/Medium/Heavy padding are in chests also.
Yet they gave us 2 New Siege Camps, The Sacred Hunt event, Taverns, New Purges and the all the loot from both The Winged Death and The Brute.
Thanks Developers for caring about Siptah!
I have been enjoying running around with my Predatory Blade. The Black Feather Cap has been a great addition to my corruption build.
Siptah could use a revamp of sorts. The ambient music in my opinion is overall less impressive. I truly miss the music that plays adjacent to the main Darfari camp, Sepermeru, and the jungle. The extreme temperature ranges are missing along with the rain and snow I enjoyed on the Exiled Lands. All the seemingly unused space may contain the vault dungeons with no space left over for anything else. My overactive imagination visualized a cloud biome, a cave mushroom biome, or even an underwater biome that would require additional preparation for survival much like the volcano and frozen north.
Looking at the problem from a more grounded perspective, what would Funcom actually do now that Dune Awakening is on their agenda? It seems like every additional feature gets integrated with the Black Lotus Bazaar to finance Dune.
If you still enjoy the game, good for you.
I really enjoy Siptah, and it has received some attention lately…good and bad, luckily for me I did not have any turtle friends. During the constant daily restarts I just built, stayed close to my bases and waited for the devs to fix it. I play on an official server, and prefer it not to be free, there is enough value in the building and armor sets alone to justify its cost. I have seen EL Official, crazy builds everywhere, Siptah tends to be more laid back and not so cluttered, at least on my server. I really hoping they enable server transfers again at some point.
I think funcom never Will bring transfers back transfer are too much complex for They solve It and they cant fix simples things like a feeding Thrall pot or a Sorting UI or BRAINLESS Thralls or a dye benchs or useless pets or skeletons and Grey ones punching and no using weapons or players falling in structures or fall damage in Thralls and MANY MANYYY others problem.
Again the only salvation for Siptah have players IS making It free i want back to play in Siptah more i have play alone Because It IS EMPTY It apper to be like im playing in SINGLE player when i log in the Siptah server, it is Because It IS payed product and people wont Will pay to play in a broken empty product.
The New things add to Siptah are Just so SMALL compared to exiles land the 2 castles in Siptah can be soled Just climbing and killing the Bosses you dont need to Destroy Any wall or door and They have Just 1/4 of the casttle from EL the New event altar are in the wrong place what the f… a jhebbal altar are doing near the big Tower a Burned place with skeletons and where meteor shower rain , about 2 times i SEE meteor in the altar and near the NPCs.
EVERY 3 skull Boss and almost all “hard” content chests drop Perfected Light/Medium/Heavy padding now They changed It in the last update.
Totally disagree. In every server where I’ve played Siptah, storm mobs rarely spawn, so obtaining schematic fragments this way is somewhat unreliable. Additionally, the number of possible recipes from these schematics is staggering, and if you’re searching for a specific one, you might be grinding for months.
When? Did you play after chapter 4?
Go to the center of the tower when the Maelstrom starts, feel the vibe my friend it’s awesome!
Thats absolutely true my fellow exile. Thank god they are all just collectible now.
Even in the center I had this issue. Also, even if it spawns something it’s rarely the mobs giving fragments.
Specialist Cooking IV, Grandmaster Weaponsmith and Grandmaster Armorsmith are still very important to acquire especially in pvec or pvp.
I dont know what server you are playing but It wont IS a official Because in official servers you can get 5+ Schematic fragment in Just 1 maestrom what you need to do is stay near the Tower EVERY migo you kill Will drop 1 Schematic fragment.
Migo have 100% drop Schematic fragment garanted.
