Wildstar gets a huge thing at PAX because it’s a new game and it makes sense to want to build hype for that. Do you know what convention space costs? A few hundred new game sales don’t come close to covering that, especially considering there’s no sub fee you are getting with that and the game itself is heavily discounted most of the time by now.
So it’s basically a server merge without calling it one, pretty much like WoW did it. Except this is taking it a step further and linking all servers in a region, instead of two or three with each other. I guess it comes down to what you find more important, low level zones not being dead or server community. In most cases you can’t have both, no matter how magical your algorithm might be. Which is another part I’m uncomfortable with, I don’t really like the idea of some algorithm “aggregating data” about me and determining where I’m supposed to be playing. I made that choice myself when I picked a server.
