WAR (Warhammer Online)

So, with the transfers apparently complete, Mythic has closed off 26 of the 56 servers to new players.  These servers are low/low and are obviously not going to grow or become active.

And yet, I have not seen one official word from Mythic saying these servers are now effectively shut down.

Furthermore, nobody on the gaming websites seems to be noting it.

I thought it was noteworthy if a game closes half its servers within 3 months. 

Someone should notify a gamespy "reporter" or something.

Jacobs is pretty up front about things and if there closeing down servers he will say something or should.

Its cause the servers arent shut down, simply click more and you can see and access them.

However, they are put on the back burner. Everyone on those servers has/had their chance to leave, and are staying out of choice. Thats why they arent shut down I guess, mythic is giving them the option.

But new players cannot join them.  I've also heard that people have gone back to those servers just to check it out and were the only single person on the server.

These 26 servers are dead.  They just haven't pulled the plug.

They are not "on the back burner".  If you try to create a character on them, you are unable to.

Are you sure you cant create a toon?

I was told otherwise.

Yes, I am sure.  The option is greyed out when you're on those 26 servers.  I just tried today on all of them, as research for a discussion on another message board.

Weird, I just created characters on 5 of these supposibly locked servers (stopped at 5 since I doubt if I could on 5, I could not on the others). You do get a message stating that they are a low/low pop server that mythic is suggesting that you transfer off of but they are not preventing new people from creating characters on them.

When they are shut down Im sure it will make the news. Your saying that not being able to make new characters = shut down, but that isnt the case. If i can log onto a pre-existing toon and level, how is the server shut down?

Nobody in their right mind is playing on them.  Yes, you can go onto them, but when you're the only person on the entire server logged in, it doesn't really make sense to play on it.

If theyr'e not dead, they're in a coma.  In any case, it's pretty significant if you ask me.

And to the guy above you, no, you can't make characters on the servers.  Just to be specific, try to create a character on Eerie Downs.

Hint: Click on the "more" button to see all of the shut down servers mixed in with some active servers.
