    I was beginning to wonder. The decent gear on the AH and certain materials has all but disappeared the last time I checked (about a week or two ago).

    Rift seemed to have taken a hit over the Christmas with people offline during college break and the SWtOR release. I think at that point people panicked. Now that I am looking to move I have been checking shard populations and it seems there are only 3 shards which are hitting medium to high at peak times, all the rest are sitting at low.
    I am really enjoying Rift, but if the population does not come back it seems pointless to play if the game is dying

    I know a lot of guilds were complaining about players leaving to play ToR, including ours. We had to do a recruitment drive to replace missing members and we have now beefed up the ranks.

    I admit that I stopped playing RIFT to play ToR as well but came back to RIFT after a week because of the issues with MB ToR. However, i see they are working on the follow fix and Mosg2 came up a with a new workaround.

    Our guild master is now worried about GW2 releasing and what effect that will have on RIFT. Hopefully, RIFT will weather both new games and continue on as I still really enjoy playing RIFT and am now working on getting my second team up to 50.

    The population Greybriar seems good but I haven't actually checked the level from the server perspective, will try and remember to do so tonight.

    I'm sure at some point they will close/merge servers to keep them healthy. I mean even EQ is thriving all these years later. They just merge servers when the need arises.

    Estrael was my first server and I've always liked it. It may not have the highest population, but it seems just fine to me. It's not as populated as the other PvE-RP server, but I have an easier time getting into warfront queues on Estrael than other servers, though that's mostly because of Wolfsbane. Warfronts almost seem like an internal affair for Wolfsbane - both teams are almost always totally filled up with players from Wolfsbane. I think Alsbeth is in the same group but there are very few people from Alsbeth in the warfronts.

    I have always preferred PvE-RP servers because people seem to be much more mature. And people on Estrael are nice, on both sides (I have level 50s on both sides on Estrael).

    I pretty much never get critiqued for multiboxing on Estrael. Rather, I often get encouraging comments.

    Over Christmas, I did notice a sharp break in the number of players. However, it seems they've all come back now.

    Default Server shutdowns

    Wow, so some servers are being shut down soon, including my Estrael... :/ I really liked that server, but I'll be moving all my chars to Faeblight instead. Hopefully that battlegroup will pick up with the influx of people. Estrael had the benefit of playing with Wolfsbane which has a gazillion of people and very active warfronts...

    Is there a list anywhere, all I am seeing is a post about Estrael being converted to a trial shard?
