increase server capasity of about double of what it is currently and merge the servers = success

Woa! Maybe they should merge the servers!? What a great idea.

I did, I haven't played since summer 2010 ( okay, maybe I logged in once in 2011 to see how " waiting the gameplay has become ). I am lurking on the forums to observe a game's downfall / slow decay to non activity due to game design choices and managment choices. This game and SDE's handling of it is like the ultimate case study of MMOs. I also observe other MMOs, the way they do things, and how SDE does things are interesting to observe.

Basically, SDE can't control their game engine well despite it being internally created.

I am an accounting graduate. I looked at company case studies for like... ever. Anyways, I spent enough time on here for today.

You cannot duplicate exact fleets on the same server. However you are allowed to create "sister" fleets, as long as you do not use them to exploit the HA or FL system. I.E. Hold a harbor with Redsky A and keep attacking it with Redsky B so that no one can take it from you.

Pretty much the same situation here. Only I "stalk" the forums to see if things have improved or not. So far, in my opinion, things have turned for the worst. Decreasing server population, and changes made to the game that I just don't agree with.

I guess some day I'd like to see if NF goes to a open source/free download server for people to host and make their own changes that SDE has neglected. Any old school game I've ever played has had a community making a ridiculous amount of improvements that one would think to be impossible. The only way this will happen is if the population decreases to the point that the game becomes unplayable and NFNA gets shut down.
