Hey guys! i have a question.
Why is the .sg server so dead? i mean seriously,it's the best metin2 out there,first metin2 that gets the updates,loads of gms,great anti hacking protection,why it has a low player database?
It's because of the ip block thing that happened in the past?
Dead as in not enough players for such a server? I agree if you meant to say that...but it's not dead to a point where you can't have a NW or regular events you know.
Yes, it is because of the IP block that server has low player count. Christopher did a big mistake by not telling his players there was going to be IP block if he KNEW about it from the beginning because the server had 2-3k REAL players playing just the FIRST 2 DAYS ( i remember seeing both channels full

)!
Many people also say that GF+ G4 enforced the IP block on YMIR cuz it wasn't there at beginning. I am not gonna lie, this is what I also think personally also because GF+G4 didn't wanna lose their customers who were tired of their server. Before SG opened it was known as the "SEA" server...It was described as dream server for many and the word "SEA" was passed between alot of people so naturally it had alot of people at beginning. Also, character wipe after closed beta reduced the player count significantly because the team told at those times there wouldn't be a character wipe.
SO the point is: 95% of the people lost trust in the server from beginning (including me) because they couldn't openly tell people to SAFELY CONTINUE to play their server with a proxy which was always legal but unfortunately YMIR made sure the word didn't come out, so TEC was basically not allowed to tell players from outside to Asia "ITS SAFE TO PLAY" and thus many people quit. After all, who would wanna spend time on a server where its not safe to play right?
Then seeing SG was no longer a threat to their competition. TEC was finally able to let know people that you can play with proxy WITHOUT GETTING BANNED cuz its legal. That is why I came back to SEA 2 months after closed beta. Anyway SEA or SG is truly the best I have ever played. Believe me, other servers don't treat you with respect for the money and time you spent meanwhile TEC has a completely different attitude towards their players otherwise I would be still playing on US.
Lastly,
I hope TEC eventually gains the players count that they lost at the beginning or even more.
Most importantly, I hope ALL the official servers unite and stop trying to steal players from each other but rather enforce YMIR on making more updates and getting rid of P servers that would otherwise steal any new content they would create
(for example, character customization would be fantastic which you can change your skin, your eye color etc., etc.,..everyone looks the same on Metin-.-)
And also very important factor: Metin is an old game. I honestly wish Christopher opened his server earlier.
