newbs will log on, see a dead server and then just log right the fuck off. Sounds like a great idea.

if they want more traffic on wayfinder, why not give everyone a 5% xp bonus for the summer on that server only...would be tempting to someone who isn't that attached to their guild/server

This isn't his idea.

Any idea this dumb has to come from upper-management.

Too little, too late. 

http://www.ddoracle.com/Traffic.html is pretty awesome.

This is either going to be a genius move once again, or it will be yet another faceplant on an already bruised and swollen face.

Sending new players to a server that genuinely desires more players, and a server that will most likely be as helpful to new players as every DDO server was when F2P launched, I can see this is being either or.

I remember my beginning days, and the old guard was very new player friendly. They/we are jaded now, but consider how desperate Wayfinder is for people.

I think it will be allright if we group all the noobs on Wayfinder for awhile, they want them over there anyway, and it is just the 'recommended' server for new players after all.

If they opened up free character transfers, I'd probably be over there like a shot 

I would like that.

Nominate players to be shipped to Wayfinder.  Turbine staff checks their history of not playing nice.

A global vote is then put in place, and the server can vote to ship the player to Wayfinder.  The player does have one week to put out a global message of why they should not be shipped.


Better yet, once a player is nominate, Turbine just does it without telling anyone.  The player would not be receiving a ban, just a purgatory.  Unless you a german of course, then it would be nirvana.

Wayfinder Part IV: A new hope
I had the same thought "are they crazy another terrible idea in a month filled with terrible ideas"? and posted as much already but on thinking about it further;

Okay maybe Wayfinder wont be filled with looted out veterans who've done everything and can't be arsed to help a newb out, there are positives although I think this choice is a little daft on Turbines part the player base could make it something positive.

Everyone who's not an elitist uber player start a lvl 1 toon (and a Vet 4 and 7 and a Bladeforged 15 if you have them) on Wayfinder and help new players, in a few months we'll have the least "BYOH STRONGS ONLY SELECTIVE DON'T SUCK" server community in the game.

I am thinking of starting a dungeon crawler guild over there, not perma death, but explore, complete and enjoy the journey. I think it might be fun to run quests purely for the fun of running them, not spoiling everything with "that optional is not enough XP to be worth doing" meta gaming. I'm sure some newer players will develop into hard core elitist types, but it's would be interesting to see if a more friendly grown up and mature (and relaxed) community could be made in DDO.

Wayfinder is an interesting opportunity. Friendly helpful players can turn a puzzling game endangering decision into a positive new player friendly server...

That guy is an idiot. But I guess I am an elitist prick.

+10% xp for the rest of the year on this server. Seems like it would just be better to close it and merge everyone into other servers.
