Fellow poe2 diehards, I think we have reached a point where we need to adapt to our situation. Our server is not doing too good - you know this, I know this. Everyone hates to see it but it was going to happen at some point. I would like to see everyone stay positive and not devolve into the blame game over why the server is in the state it is. Things have been a bit better lately but a week or two ago there was some frustration slipping out.(hint: no one is at fault!) We have a tight community here and if we can stay positive and focus our play I think we can keep things active here for quite a while longer.

Going forward we are thinking about limiting gameplay nights. Limiting play to focus play if you will. Instead of less than 20 players on every night we can focus our participation around certain days and hopefully get back to a higher population with improved quality of play. The number of nights is something we can talk about but my initial thoughts were 2-3 with another day for events.(next paragraph) Less playtime but at higher quality may even bring more participation in as a more consistent high level of play can attract some players that were reluctant to commit previously.

The admins are also committed to ramping up events. Biweekly scrims and other events(nuke, crazy mod stuff) on some of the off weeks are being talked about. A specific weekend afternoon would likely be the day for these events.

So I am looking for feedback on this potential direction from all elements of the poe2 community. Those who still try to play every night and those who have mostly moved on but still have a desire for the good old days. Keep it constructive and on topic.
