When Funcom decided to merge Set and Wiccana together people were happy. More population is grate. The thing is though, the timing was terrible. They offered free transfers...which gave people the opportunity to move from Tyranny to Set, which turned out to be the most populated server in Age of Conan. Why?
Because the merge happened right at the release of Guild Wars 2. This was a bad idea. People go look at other games. It's just the way it is. So people went to play GW2...not everyone but a lot of people. Especially people interested in trying something new in the pvp department. This hurt Tyranny a lot, especially with some deciding they wanted to move over to Set. So the population started to decline badly.
Once people started coming back from learning that gw2 wasn't the dream come true it was worked up to be, they came to an under populated server. Welcome home to Tyranny. Half went to Set, a few stayed in Guild Wars (let me sum up the last boss fight of gw2 - press "2" a million times as the boss doesn't damage you until he dies. This after killing trash mobs).
People can't raid unless you were in Aco's or Req Nex - whom had an alliance of sorts to assist in raid efforts. So, the two most populated guilds on the pvp server didn't really do open world pvp.
Aco's decided to move to Set, probably giving funcom a lot of money. Move it another month and here comes Req Nex, moving to Set, more bank for funcom. I myself moved 4 toons over, giving them $80 myself....just to play the game with other people. I mean....it is an mmo.
All the talk about single server tech, won't matter much if there is only one server.
...sucker... you paid to lose a game feature (open world pvp). Why not just take a break (play some other MMOs, reroll on the Euro servers0 until the pvp situation resolved itself?
