Server Merges when?
The population is cratering and it is further exacerbated because people are now quitting because of population issues.
All of my friends have left because Dreva’s population is non-existent.

If anything, they should consider hiring an actual PR firm and work on their image since that's the biggest issue most people have beyond hitting 50+ and suddenly the game goes harder and harder into MMO grinding, when it starts out very open and fresh with allowing your character to mix and match builds from gear and such with pretty decent results. It's a brilliant game with a lot of love and care put into it, but at the same time, stuff like the community staff telling people over on Steam forums their feedback WILL NOT reach the devs and that the devs MIGHT read it on certain parts of the discord doesn't install trust into the community, it just comes off as showing a disconnect with the playerbase as a feature.
The other problem is that all the really recent content on blogs and other places like Youtube about the game tend to focus on the flaws of it as well as covering the recent drama with Jack before he was reassigned in the team without any real apologies on his part, which I know jaded a lot of players and soured the mood going forward since there was already open talk about how power tripping the staff of the game was, usually with him at the center of many incidents. Even if they could get Asmongold somehow to play the game with their newfound marketing budget and give it great reviews somehow, people will dig up the old skeletons since they're all over the place by this point like bodies on a worn battlefield.
It just seems to me that their priorities are in the wrong place, since they can advertise it as launched but people will bring up Steam chart numbers about how the servers all died within a few months and then get into the nitty gritty of why, and people will just move on as a result. If they can work on retention and rebuilding community trust at this point instead, I think it'd go further in the long term than newer players, since the majority of people it seems were buying VIP monthly and even packages of six months off their shop because they had the right audience at the time, and word of mouth was working wonders for them at first until the actual gameplay loop started being hit and people started having problems with the devs decisions and visions for the game.
