A sure sign that you're losing players is when you have to reduce the number of your servers. This is precisely what's happening with Funcom's Age of Conan as the company closes down over half of their servers, this revealed in their very own forums.

As statistics would have it., the company will be shutting down 31 of their servers, making it from 49 to a dwindling 18. In the North America and Oceanic regions, 24 mergers are being combined into just six. Also, the one player-versus-player server and two-player-versus -environment will be the only ones retained, and each will even be combining the population to a mere six or seven existing servers.

Meanwhile, European gamers will have 12 servers retained, but this is mostly due to the need to have a variety of server types in each of four languages. But over all, the English-language Euro servers are down from 13 to four.
