Merge DRIDER(ru) players into DRAGON(int) realm

vasiamen1vasiamen1 Member Posts: 42 Arc User
in Player Feedback (PC)
DRIDER realm is dying and here is why:
1) time to get zen from ZAX exchange is already 1 year + (wtf?)
2) no party for RTQ, REDQ (it's always N/A time showing), haven't seen a long time anybody's looking party for Zariel or TOMM in PE
3) no new players, same faces over and over again in dungeons/trials

After merging you can free up compute resources and remove the headache of keeping the second realm in sync with Dragon.
Whole world is playing together but ru community should play apart like a rogue/hermit people and it's very sad.

p.s. playing this game since 2014

    Dragon zax isn't in much better condition.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    I guess they will just shut it down instead of spending resource to 'merge'. Will the players in your area pay the US price for Zen? If not, they will not generate revenue.

    I can pay US prices, but what's the point to spend money on game if there is nobody to play with?

    Well I would say merge may be logic action. Considering that game is old, and also WoW refuges no longer look for temporal shelter(game) till final fantasy xiv open new servers.
    So it's unlikely that we will see big influx of players in Neverwinter, that chance already passed.


    Merging would benefit both sides. More players in one server, means faster queue, more trading.
    However, that also bring risk, which is that dryder and dragon have own economy in the game.
    Poorly done merging can lead to very negative outcome.

    Also, @vasiamen1, you realize that merging to one sever will be lot of lag spikes? The physical Dragoon server is located in west coast, while Dryder is located in Germarny(cerntral EU).
    The distance between your location and physical server may cause high ping which mean lag spikes.
    Also, the ZAX situation Is kinda same on both servers. So merging would not solve ZAX issue. The outcome can be both, positive and negative.
    More players = more chance someone will convert ZEN to AD. But also it can end up in opposite, make ZAX times even worse.. :)

    Red dot top left. That's all you need to know. "Server is offline."

    Server merge should be a relatively easy task, all servers, even all games are somewhat connected anyways. You can see friends online in other cryptic games like STO, or any of the preview servers. We've had a merge in the past as well in the beta so it is possible to do. All RU Auction House and Zen listing would be wiped, but I think they would not care as much when they find out that we have a lower exchange rate than they do. Although our backlog is also a year long, so I guess it's a mixed bag.

    I'm sure our night owls and less populated time zone players would appreciate having more players to play with just as much as our Russian friends would.

    The chat and friend list across servers and games was removed a long time ago. I can run NW live and preview at the same time, have number of friends shown in list on live and zero on preview. Same goes for across games.

    From playing with the 'awesome' Russian players in Dota2, CS, and other games, and as someone who can read and speak Russian, I can tell you that the usual consensus about playing with the majority of the Russian players is "F*** NO!"

    Not to overly generalize as I'm sure there are actually awesome people everywhere, but in many cases the experience is so toxic that people died mentally just from the thought.

    So I'm pretty sure, that on that you are very wrong. And that is not taking the current geopolitical climate into consideration, which makes the fact that that server is still working a surprise on its own.

    If the USA will approve Russia as a "state sponsor of terrorism" will this mean that Gearbox paying taxes for buying zen in "state sponsor terrorism"?

    I don't know if they pay any tax to Russia because of Zen sale.
    If they did not charge you sales tax when you bought your Zen, probably, no sales tax to Russia.
    If they don't have a permanent establishments or a management board in Russia, they probably don't pay corporate or income tax to Russia.

    I'd delete my account before I played on a merged server. I don't understand why they even have a Russian server up considering the current situation. Слава Україні!

    The actions of an authoritarian government should have no bearing on individuals living under that government. The people of Russia are not to blame for the current situation. Level your justified hate only at the governments or those that openly support the actions of that government, not the people just trying to survive.

    On the other hand, the current common method (I am not saying it is correct or fair) to punish the government is usually sadly punishing the people living under that government.

    Maybe with the hopes that the masses will apply pressure upwards.
