Make Blue Server The Default Server On the Login Screen

[Psilocke]

Maybe consider making the Blue Server the default server so that new players go there instead and let the population of players even out for Red and Blue? Red Server is still getting tons of new players and most newbies might not know about the 2nd server.

 

Blue also seems more stable than Red.

I've said this before in Discord, and in IRC as well. Red shouldn't be the default server if they want new players to go to Blue.

 

Even with the words "Server Select", older players sometimes go to Red by accident. And eager new players most likely won't notice the "Server Select" words, therefore not knowing there's a drop-down menu in front of them. Not to mention if they don't know Blue is newer and more stable.

You do know that server crashes happen on Blue too by the same reason why Red crashes.

 

Changing the default wouldn't change a thing, but making it more of a pain to click more.

 

How about making the suggestion more enjoyable for a whole server mass then just yourself.

 

"Make the last server you have accessed the default server on the toggle list when you reopen your client. "

 

With this, I guess it will make it a bit more easy for you.

This as well, but they have a point. New users would not know that there are two servers. At least an option to see both upon first visit, and then default server become the last on you visited would be the best solution i feel.

To be honest, players shouldn't make it a huge deal with the servers. They are the same gaming experience, the same story, and the developer team worked hard on it. The toggle for the server and what is showing when logging in isn't a default and shouldn't be consider as one. It was just put there for access. That's it.

Blue crashes less frequently though, so there must be something different on the server itself?

One click. Just one more click. I do see your point about it being a pain, though. I don't mind, but a ton of other players might mind, and staffs do need to think about that.

This is actually something I don't mind seeing either. Those who play on Blue will have Blue as default, those who play on Red will have Red as default.

 

It doesn't change the main problem that the thread starter pointed out, though, which is new players crowding Red even more instead of going to Blue, because they didn't notice Blue exist.

 

Maybe put up a notice saying "If you're a new player, try the Blue Server"?

Nope, just like Shane stated himself, both server are exactly the same. There is precisely no difference between both.

You probably should re-think of what you just stated.

Going to explain that what you as well as the OP are stating is merely impossible to do.

 

We already clearly pointed out that we (Team Revolution) will not do transferring of progress between the server accounts of both servers, hence why people prefer massing on the Red then the new Blue Server. Stating that users (except the percent who are linguistically incapable) have not seen our Blue Server after the present amount of days it has been released is pure ignorance and seriously should be their responsibility of not acknowledging the Forums.

 

As a user as well as a staff member, my opinion still stands as I have already given my thoughts as stated first post. There shouldn't be any topics nor quote stating "Blue is better to be on" because its obviously not. Change for Pokemon Revolution Online has always been happening and shouldn't be ignored. You shouldn't get used to the present and prepare for the future. You don't know that Red may still continue to crash nor if Blue would start crashing more or vise versa between.

 

TLDR: OP should technically follow my advice when relating to if he wants to make it easier to login to his own preferred server. Though in the case of other players getting on a server, let it be on their preference and not your own. If they wish to clutter red, let them be.

:Heart-eyes: :Grin: so true I only started last week only thought there was red server and then crash crash crash crash but I'd already got good Pokemon and Diddnt wanna swap servers I think it would be really good to make the blue default

I meant the physical server, not the data inside or the specifications. Red having more players (in other words, nothing related to the server itself) could also contribute to the more frequent crashes on Red. Back when they increased the player limit to 2000, Red crashes quickly, so they immediately go back to 1850 and now 1800. Perhaps having full 1800 players on the server every night, still put more strain on the older server?

 

Just a theory, though, since I'm not the one in charge of the server, after all. But I would be lying if I say players do not notice Red crashes more often than Blue. Lots of players in IRC actually often mention how Red is going down more often than Blue. There has to be something different between the two servers that causes such thing to happen, isn't it? :confused:

 

I hope they can find out about that soon. If they can make the two servers completely the same in just about everything, I believe changing the drop down menu will never be needed :Grin:

Thank you for taking the time to explain :Smile:

 

True, maybe in the future Blue would crash as often as Red (which, if anything, should not happen), or like I said, they found what's wrong with Red and fix it so that Red no longer crashes frequently. No one knows yet.

 

Also, you're right about the last part on the TL;DR. Wasn't something that crossed my mind.
