As many of you know in Scania, we have a lot of people. Like, a lot. We have so many people that Mana Bulls run out before 2x events. I don't know if this happens on other servers, but it happens a lot in Scania. To depopulate Scania, some steps need to be taken:
1) Unless an account already has a character in scania, don't allow them to make any characters in it. This stops any new accounts and most of the current accounts from contributing to our over-population.
2)Disallow world transfers into Scania. Every time I look at Eos's world transfer thread, I count the number of people leaving and coming to scania, and there's always more coming in. If people could only leave, then the population would go down.
3) Give back channel 20, and maybe add on a few others. This would spread out the population more and at least make it seem like there's less people.
Essentially what this would do is make it so no new people can join Scania. People in it already can make characters, but besides that it's cut off. People are constantly trasfering to other worlds, and even more quit (See: Basilmarket) so the population would go down considerably from just 6 months of being cut off.
If you have any better ideas on how to depopulate Scania, post them.

If it bothers you so much you could always world transfer to a less populated server...don't mean to come off bitchy just another suggestion...the only way they'd disallow xfers to Scania is if it got REALLY bad and it hasn't yet (to Nexon's eyes anyways).

Wait, what? You can actually 'run out' of items to buy from an NPC? Or were you using a metaphor? Because I didn't know that, if you were being serious.

You can actually make them run out of stock for a period of time, which is 30 mins, I think? I saw it happen when the Blue chair first came out at Lith.

Yes, that can happen with the Pots from NLC.

Put the servers on the world select menu in alphabetical order. Maybe it's overpopulated because newbies pick the first one.

Back when Bellocan was first on the list it had the least amount of people in it.
That is still mostly true, but Yellonde holds the title now.

We need more than 20 channels. Maybe like, 40 or so.

I think OP means when you have to hold a map from KSers before the event starts, you're killing so yeah :3

You guys need GMs going all Big Brother on anyone that acts like the following:
1. A total noob
2. pimento KSers
3. Spamming more than 10 SMEGAs in less than an hour.

No, he means literally they run out of pots. Just go try to repot in NLC before a 2x event is about to start and you'll understand.  And this happens in basically every single channel.
Thankfully with minidungeons...there is no more need to hold a map early for skele/newtie ^^

No, I'm 100% literal about running out of mana bulls. You talk to the NPC and a window pops up saying they're out of stock. I've seen it happen twice before.
And I'm staying in Scania because of my friends here. I want to stay on the server, I just don't want the rediculous amount of people here as well.

Steps to further populate Scania.
Redirect all world transfers out of Bera into Scania.

Aka. I want to continue to play with my friends. However, should anyone else on scania wish to invite firends to join the game, said people should be denied that.
