good comments and various perspectives. . Important to note that is
INNO main that decides what worlds close according to criteria (usually money, which is fair). So it is difficult for us common players to communicate (except via local inno) of which worlds we (meaning overall) feel is more "dead" in actual application - for me, surprised some small worlds also not included. So think as players we hoping inno takes our input to them!!
With brisoce and dakota being migrate routes in, says there is factors keeping them consideration. With el dor and idaho not migration routes is a likely indicator of next to be migrated out and for worlds kansas forward assume deemed too new.
It is inno local that decides which worlds to migrate to and which to not. For
Galv and Houston migrations, the choice of Az (yay), Br, Fb (yay), Dak, Juarez (still have to wait and see if good).
A comment was made prior, couldnt agree more and sometimes feel like inno may not understand that part - something like
to keep worlds going/revive world, need people on both sides willing to put in effort - it truly does come down to that. It defines which worlds people try out, ones people migrate to when available, and which people remain active on, and which world they buy nuggests (for inno cha-ching!). So encourage inno local to really take a look at all people's thoughts (will jot down my thoughts but only speak to what i feel)...
How will migrations impact worlds and which are most possibly words meaning promote daily battles ...
AZ - is potential. I know when talking with people have said the one side has numbers but needs to come together, so some really strong players joining Battle Born in this migration and future migrations is an excellent choice. RIght now seeing no ff's. It has potential for ff's. People want ff's!
Briscoe - i joined briscoe after the hay days of Rev vs Evo .. know Dirty dave and Maddie came back and tonnes people came to rejoin but part missing was someone from otherside doing same, at same time. There are excellent players in briscoe who may want to stay there or could be used in other worlds in active ff's .. guess saying wished there had been option for some of those great migrate OUT of briscoe not in but again know other factors.
Colo - know not open migration, is often many battles, good world, some of us still getting used to major reshuffle, do note that when there is event world then decline in primetime battles dont know if related, but if is, then thinking the event worlds doing opposite of what should be.
Dak - only world not in so cant speak to
El Dor - closed to galv/houston and likely future migrations (guessing) which kinda indicates futue. Know i joined that world to help fight agains the big team but when got there no one was even trying and tbh was focusing on trying to help build up other worlds.... again hard to decribe that without commentary to inno to then pass along to inno main. Speaks to above point of need people both sides but if years go by... maybe time?
FB - is potential, similar to AZ. Our side was gravely outnumbered for while but happily with migrations got some amazing players joining FB, so migrations may be just what doctor ordered, however for not if opposition doesnt rally up (been 7 months since we had daily battles) so hoping !!
Galv/Houston - migrations out .. some already left, some slacking (lol helen and annie and gang) and some wish to continue until closes.
Idaho - this is one that inno local should look at when evaluating what happens when migrating much older toons to newer worlds. Know probably wont like hearing this. For galv/houston to move back to older worlds is okay, moving up to juaez when union gear introduced for first time and 25 levels higher - if all join one side may result in what happened in idaho). Idaho at one point has possibility, lots of work by both sides to build up teams, migrations of w1 players (some of them 10 year players put into 4 year world) which they seemed to gather on one side which is fair but at same time our team was taken over and flipped to other side as well (Team united) which we had to start from square 1 again and felt months of building up against odds was something people not willing to go thru again .... again not migration people's fault and there were a few w1 players that went out of way to help both sides but just made enthusiasm for the people to rebuild and dig daily once again lack and since we have had few battles, people decided to focus their efforts elsewhere. Again as said above, you need groups on both sides to work. We hope for not same in juaerez, its truly up to the community to keep eye on, as people do want ff's, and not to see idaho happen there.
Juarez - This world worked for one reason - people forgot about us in juarez lol. There was big push to join colo (which agree is good) or to keep joining newer worlds to kick butt there, some actually still in Juarez .. but kinda pushed for no battles which luckily everyone ignored. It had ups and downs and definately small battles. But daily. Every day. Defenses usually won, attacks ususally lost. Our gang of AoW split off at one point as no leaders in opposition, forts were moved back and forth so not one group dominating. Players moved about to help were needed. Had its flaws but we had daily battles and largely overlooked by what some of us call the "troublemakers" of the game who push for one-sided or dominate which has now placed AOW as underdogs (its okay we will keep going, its long game) but know able to do as the leaders and teams on both sides were putting in tonnes of effort. Now is migration into with higher level toons, with union gear, we waiting to see if that impacts daily battles, hope doesnt .. kinda wish world that had potential but no ff's to bring about ff's were the option for people but know there are good peeps out there that wont let go of daily battles while some running back once migration called. To inno, pls take care when deciding what newer worlds to migrate to, pls look at idaho as example.
Kansas - havent been alot of battles in kansas. Have been seeing there is attempts by some to revive kansas. All these new worlds idaho on went thru same, big rush for first while, then leaders stop ff'ing and go to new world to do their thing there, leaving teams without leaders. In juarez, killer bonnie was newish player that stood up and kept daily battles going with other side leaders for years. I see in kansas harriet and sheep talking and maybe others, dont know alot about it but in my thoughts if have people willing to put in effort, then migration TO KANSAS may have been just what doctor needed ? Again need people willing to put in effort and looks like that is there, just now need the people to build both teams.
Vegas - i personally thrilled no migrations into vegas. Like other worlds, was a rush for one side, and seeing battles like 53v3 or 36v10 i feel exhausted, know have talked to people about trying to build up teams but some worlds too far gone with no real indication people want different. Everyone talked to about wanting to fight back eventually just gives up, know saw such one sided battles and decided to focus juarez where was more balanced valued. If players do come out to put in effort on both sides, then maybe but atm thrilled no one migrating and getting stuck there.
FF:s most activity (1) colo as was major focus of inno and players alike (2) montana as newest world (3) dangit .. we wee trying to hide that we had daily battles
just hope people want to keep it out of hands of peope storming in to alter the juarez enironment for last few years and to say to inno local pls take extra care of what it means for wolds when moving toons much higher in levels and intro of union gear for first time into wolrds past houston.
