The people want Pearl back?

[TheB1gShow (MeesterClean)]

I have heard from numerous people on the Metro server that they want Pearl Market back in the rotation. Figured I would put a poll out there.

Something to keep in mind: will it help or hinder populating the server?

Going to test it out a bit this weekend and see how it impact the population.

People love Pearl. Pearl and Metro are usually full.

Pearl got added last weekend, and Guilin got added this weekend. Both seem to be doing alright and only run during higher population times.

When I used to play.. People would always leave when Pearl came on. Some love it, some hate it. It's a pretty even split.

Population definitely drops when going to Pearl, but some only come because Pearl is in the mix. It's just a mixed bag. Only running it during peak hours definitely helps keep it from killing the server while keeping everyone happy.

Love that Pearl is in the rotation, and Peaks is a great addition. Could do with one less locker in the rotation

The current lineup is this:

Locker
Metro
Pearl
Locker
Metro
Guilin
repeat

During lower-population times it's harder to keep Pearl and Guilin populated whereas Locker and Metro tend to do better which is why they're between Pearl and Guilin.

Are you thinking something like this?

Locker
Metro
Pearl
Metro
Guilin
repeat

Something like that would be nice, ideally I'd prefer to only see one of each in the rotation but understand that some people may have issues with that.

Pearl used to drop the server (Back when it was just All Maps and Metro/Locker/Pearl) population by about half, but not usually as bad as Locker would.

It still does a number on it at times but the servers are running so strong right now we can absorb it and it fills right back up.

Yes, I'm aware that my perspective on the servers is outdated. I was just reaffirming previous sentiments in the thread that Pearl can have a negative impact on the server population. If we have the playerbase to sustain it then cool.
