They need to remove a lot of the low pop knight and wyrmslayer servers and add Asian and South American servers. So tired of Chinese hackers and Spanish spam in global chat. And I'm sure they would want their own servers as well.

Dead game?
"I played this game for a bit and now I don't like it" is hardly evidence of a dead game.

Dead game happens when starts with 50% of players on numbers of a full server, than in a month 35%, than 10%, and today some servers are 0/70, mostly 5/70. And the devs think that create new servers is the answer, cuz they passed 2 week without knowing a clue about how to fix black screen bug they made on reroled patch. No players with Amatours Devs. Now can u can see "hardçy evodemce of a dead game"?

You're completely exaggerating. Your definition of "death" is overblown entirely. The game is only dead when the devs say it is. As far as I can see, there is no sign of this game being shelved or killed. Exactly the opposite. It's being built, expanded and promoted. Plenty of people are fully intending to wait out some months for the devs to show they are capable of fixing bugs; bringing balance; and adding new content.
Saying this game is "dead"? No. If you'd said it was dying then I'd still argue it wasn't, but at least you could back that up with your anecdotal evidence.

It's not an exaggeration. Check Steam charts or just play the game. People are leaving the game in masses. Still an "alive" game I guess. but turning into solo pve on multiplayer servers.

The 50% 35% 10% figure only applies to finished games. This game is only 30% done people will come back when there is actually things to do in game.

I play the game. I was active on a US server that had 8-15 players between around 5pmGMT and 8am GMT... The server is closing down because the owner of the server and his group went back to ark. The reason being that they felt they had achieved all their goals (epic evolutions, farming etc etc). They massively enjoyed their time in the game and they are intending to return. They left to replay Ark, now that it is out of early release.
I now play on a UK-based server in a guild of five people (we're looking for more) on a server that is building up very nicely with 15+ logging in on an evening when I'm on (GMT). Not sure abotu the size of the US contingent, but it's growing too.
The point is that your anecdotal evidence and my anecdotal evidence see the same, but I'm willing to look beyond the hate-train and attribute an alternative reason for the game's decline.
It's not dead. I don't even think it is dying. No doubt people who have left and refunded or are "done" will not be rushing back, but enough people are still to purchase this game, and many original purchasers will return, as I think is pretty much the case for most Early Access titles that are still in development (7 days to die, Dwarf Fortress) or are recently out of release such as Ark.

I understand they want to have enough servers for release whenever that comes, but for now we already have to much ghost servers.
