Not the only world suffering. El Dorado more dead than Dakota. Everything just gets to be monotonous after years of playing. The game has always been fun through the years. I won't leave a world voluntarily, as there are years of work and play to lose. So migration is what I would like to see. But worlds are suffering.
You can blame me for them being hesitant to open migration. I basically did my utmost best to exploit it in the past. Having characters all over the worlds just so that others can smuggle gear/take what they wish from me in compensation. Of course it would be a world I ask them to move to, if they don't want to, I just try to find someone else.
I believe I did this on arizona, world 12, and world 1. But world 1/arizona I just had to off load to a friend.(keeper)
Can you even believe I do all that just to compete against people who buy nuggets?
(If I actually find someone that is willing and is fair of course, I wouldn't just compete with em thou)
Having joined 10 worlds just to try to get others to do certain jobs to improve my crafting, then when events come, I'd trade items with em too!
Its rather hard to do 10, but I think my highest was about 3-5 mutual agreements excluding main world.
