I've been back on Amia for a while now enjoying myself thoroughly.
I've hit the forums and got some idea of the effort you are putting in to attract a steady player-base and keep everyone happy and in Amia.
I just saw the server at 63/65 (and 11/65 for B) and would just honestly like to say; congratulations and thank you for the great job you're all doing making Amia the place I (and of course many others) want to play.
We only have "LESS" because you don't see them online as often.
I dare to say I still actively play, but I like many others are now busy with Seasonal Schooling programs and some on Active Duty to their respective military.
Anyways...
Glad to hear you've been enjoying the server! And That's rather funny you caught it at 63/65 and 11/65; we've been doing so good too at making some transition to balance the servers. :O
And it's a lot of credit to the DM's, since they moderate, build, and keep going. But as one of the fellow players now, you too are are working to make Amia a fun place to be.

Also the server split and the current swing of players to B also had the added benefit of people not logging on just to sit logged in so the didn't miss their spot.
Used to happen all the time when the server was 75/75 folks rather than logging out for dinner, would find a quite corner to AFK for an hour.

*watches the rocks bounce off his shield* ok! ok! I give! It's just that I'm not having to stalk the server as often when waiting for it to go down from 65/65 to /64/65 nowadays.
I think the numbers have been dropping since the messenger service was put in place. People look to see if there is anyone on they'd RP with and, if not, don't log in. It's true you could check from the NWN log in too, but, not only do you not also see the login name and just the character name, it used to be rather hard to pop on just to check to see who was on before, because a lot of people were doing just that, thus filling up the server. Now, all you have to log into to see who's on is the forum. Such is my theory anyway.

Arrghh I haaaate this!
I'm guilty of this. Or at least, I am during the times when I don't frequent Amia. Also known as my regular four-to-six month haitus.
As for the Server losing people: I too think it's a little overexaggerated. The peak time is pretty much the same as what it was before, just that the rest of the time the Server has some ten less people than it was earlier in the year. No change from what I can see - happens every year or something from what I've heard.

Ah ha then the answer must surely be the numbers have droped because no one sees me on-line anymore. Now que the enumerable other players who will try and take credit for others hard work.
On a related issue. I hope to be back soon. Miss you all.
