FB player count
 

Before you jump to any conclusions, let me say I have nothing against classic server, it is well-developed.

But my question is, why is the player count so much greater on Classic than a server like Delteria? Delteria offers more gameplay and has more of that MMO feel with the combat and leveling up and what not.

I realize Classic is 1000+ players cause of the merge with IOS server, BUT even if you take the iphone players out, the FB players would still dominate in player count and I don't understand why

Because the majority of players are on iOS/Android and Delteria isn't all that great.

Mobile servers are more easy to find. New people might not even know of Delteria and others don't really like playing on FB. Also, the other servers have been around or a longer time. At the beginning it's always hard to gain players, as the game either needs to get known or people won't switch servers as they already got "good stats" on the other servers. Watch Zone, their progress is also going pretty slow

Delterria is very impressive from a lot of angles but it needs a better heart to it, and by that I mean it needs a city center for people to idle at. Classic has a gigantic, somewhat community grown center where everyone idles. That's intensely important for these kinds of games being played on FB by what I can only assume is a much younger generation.

When I started playing Graal as a teenager, having community hotspots was huge. Classic's got them, and it perpetuates communication by not having mass messages and having somewhat hidden gems for people to find and share. Delterria, in that sense, is too good at making things clear.

If I told you what I used to like to do on Graal, you'd probably die from laughing...

I went to hidden spots with GIRLS (yes) to do naughty things... that was long ago

99% of the appeal, yep.

I tried Delteria and stopped after about 90 minutes. The game play isn't fluid at all. It just doesn't feel as good on PC as classic does.
