I get that its growing rapidly, but if that growth is entirely new players (likely driven by holiday sales), then there's still the issue that all of the more experienced players - and whatever community they've developed - are segregated into a separate group.

Again, I get that this is out of your control, but it does dramatically change my perception of the group. I suppose its still usable as for its core purpose of being a safe PvE mode that's not *entirely* solo, but it makes me think I'll have to look to other, smaller groups for player interactions.

I'll definitely send some feedback in the direction of FDev, but looking at the history of the game's development I'm not going to get my hopes up!

if the new group was just made up of new members you may have a point but as it stands anyone from that region can join, even if they are a member of the original group for the region, Mobius PvE.

the way it's set up is so that over time, Mobius PvE America will be filled with all the active members of the region as both existing and new members fill the group up, then when the replacement group hits 10,000 members we plan to disband the original group to purge it of inactive members and put it back on the shelf ready for when Mobius PvE America gets full again. in this way we hope to ensure that the most number of active users can coexist in a single group, rather than the group being half full of people who haven't played the game in months.

Oh, interesting! So you're using it as a mechanism for purging inactive members, that's clever. I mean, it's ridiculous that a 3+ year old pseudo-MMO doesn't have group management tools and is forcing you to do it this way, but if this approach works it works.

Anyway, thanks for the explanation!

I'm sorry for necroing this thread, but how many people are registered in Mobius PVE Americas? Even inside the bubble I never saw anyone (or even at the popular Sothis/Ceos loop).

Can't help you. I'm in the other one. And don't log on much any more. If you've added friends from the friend list, you should see green icons on your galaxy map showing their location.

Edit: but usually at CGs, Engineers or maybe Azrael.

Welcome aboard by the way. :)

If you go to the main menu in the game, then click on 'friends and private groups', then click on 'groups', it will show you how many players are in each private group that you are a member of.

Hello Commander JohnLuke, do I have to resubmit an application to rejoin Mobius PVE? May as well hop in and have some more fun.

Regards,
John
