Asheron's Call 2 Suffers World Shrinkage

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the Microsoft Games page announcing that the Asheron's Call 2 servers are being consolidated, "from the current nine worlds to a total of four worlds." Although no specific reason is given for the contraction of this PC MMORPG, it's presumed that lack of players is causing this consolidation, as the announcement also says: "Darktide will continue to be run as the PvP server. However, the population of the world is low and it may not be possible to keep it running." This merger is in addition to a smaller world merge which occurred this month.

"Darktide will continue to be run as the PvP server. However, the population of the world is low and it may not be possible to keep it running."

This could be an ecological catastrophe! If the players keep killing each other off, pretty soon there won't be anybody left! :-)

Shrinkage?

if they don't want to worry about world shrinkage, just avoid world swimming.
