In my honest opinion, these servers need a change that will make things exciting. I maybe asking for this too early but it never hurts to ask regardless.


Lately I hear people saying they're going to quit and that it's gotten boring. It's true. Things aren't the same as they used to be and TW is too easy for Conqueror of Lost City. We take on 3 strong guilds and end up beating all of them now.

If we could change that, it would make the server a lot better. Starting TW fresh and having new people around you... yes a server merge. I don't mean merging PVP with PVE because some from PVE would probably disagree with that. I mean Lost City+Harshland = Ramapaging awesome server or Sanctuary+HeavnTears = Awesome whatever they do.

I'm quite sure people have thought about doing this before and bringing it up to the GMs. I did recently hear a rumor of two servers of a different version doing it and it was successful. Hearing it made me smile. If it were to happen hear I'd be excited to a point of a heart attack. Sounds about serious, right?

Anyway, hoping to see some good votes for this to happen. I'd really like to not tell what's going to happen next on the server. So far I have the future set which is not cool.


Edit: No what else would be awesome? Having an npc that lets you transfer to different servers. Too lazy to get into detail with that.

    Like I said, it has happened in another version of the game. So it could possibly happen. You're just butt hurt that your guild gives us no challenge whatsoever. Pathetic....

    All because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it wouldn't happen.


    Heartstone, you're somewhat right. That's the reason why I gave the option of too soon to do type of thing.

    Funny you think spectral gives you no challege. If you remember the first time spec and CQ met in TW it was a 2 hour battle. Not what I would call "no challege whatsoever."

    As far as the server merger goes, i still think it would be to crowded to do it right now. But seeing CQ lose all their land and having to start all over again would be fun cuz they would get rolled without a steady income like they've had for the past few months. lol funny you're even suggesting a map reset.

    now, lemme just put out there right off the bat that i'm not exactly knowledgeable about internet servers and how they work... with that said, if they merged Lost City (west coast) with Harshlands (east coast) and made the combined 'virtual server' utilize both of the original 'physical servers', would it not help out to lessen the lag, since the two servers would be sharing the combined load, and therefore alot of the weight currently on Lost City would be rationed out to the relatively empty Harshlands? sorry if i'm confusing you all, i just got done working on my siggy, so my mind is kinda fried b:sweat

    EDIT: gonna save my vote on the subject until my question answered by a few people

    If you think we'd get rolled, whatever. I could careless how you feel about it just know Spectral wouldn't be the one to take us out then. You mention the past that we have had 2 hour fights with Spectral but you're forgetting that in the FUTURE we've beaten them in less that 30 minutes with 2 other strong guilds attacking. Stop trying to prove a pointless point.

    Lol if this were to happen and sanc merges with a PvP server . I would happily go on, use my remaining cash (20m+300orbs+etc stuff) and buy hundreds of GAs and charms and just blow it all.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    Believe me Reds, I know how my guild chat looks. Obviously we get worried in a TW versus 3 other guilds. Lets not go **** on me now. This is an obvious reaction. If it happened to you (Not saying you'll ever have enough land for it) you guys would probably lose all 3.

    We get worried but still win. Shouldn't it give you guys momentum when you know we're worried. You shouldn't be proud of failing with 2 other guilds helping you.

    Lets stay on topic here shall we?

    I thought of something also, but it still has some kinks. I'll share it and maybe people can share their thoughts. I was thinking about having an instance created where servers of the same time zone can challenge each other. For instance, Lost City vs Heaven Tears and Sanctuary. Note: This idea was created from another game I play with some adjustments to incorporate with Perfect World.

    Setup:
    Two days of the month would be scheduled and announced for Lost City vs Heaven Tears and Sanctuary. First day for Lost City vs Heaven Tears and second would be Lost City vs Sanctuary. Each server would have five slots equal five guilds for each server to enter(except Lost City has ten). I haven't decided how to determine which guilds go in. Well moving on... Guilds would then be numbered one to five for highest average level to lowest average level guild(Lost City would be numbered from one to ten and Heaven Tears and Sanctuary would have their guild compile together and then numbered.. From there, guilds will face guild(s) with same assigned number. This is for the first of this event only. Later, it would be decided by winners and then average level.

    Example:
    I know they're suppose to be 10 guilds vs 10 guilds for Lost City vs Heaven Tears and Sanctuary, but I made this before I decided to have ten guilds eligible to participate for Lost City and initially I had Lost City's five guilds fight Heaven Tears' five on first day and Sanctuary's five on second day. You can make them all fight on same day, but I still think having two different days scheduled is better. Besides, this concept work for Dreamweaver and Wasteland(formally known as Harshland).

    Lost City llllllllll Heaven Tears and Sanctuary
    Peaceful(94) l Grass(93)
    Musume(85) l Soil(81)
    Quitters(83) l Plants(86)
    Conqueror(97) l Wood(96)
    Spectral(82) l Lake(84)

    Winners - Peaceful(Lost City), Musume(Lost City), Quitters(Lost City), Grass(HTS), Soil(HTS).

    First find out who's the winners are. Then match them up using the rule winners and then highest average level match-up.

    Lost City Heaven Tears
    Peaceful vs Grass
    Note: Both highest average winners.

    Musume vs Soil
    Note: Musume and Soil facing each other instead of Musume vs Plants and Spectral vs Soil is because they face each other due to winners priority.

    Quitters vs Wood
    Note: Quitters is a winner and since no one on the other side is a winner also. You match the highest average level guild on the other side vs the winner.

    Conqueror vs Plants
    Note: Neither are winners and they're both highest average level guild left of their respective server.

    Spectral vs Lake
    Note: Not winners and lowest average level guild.

    That should be the match-ups for Lost City vs Heaven Tears.Same way would be use for Lost City vs Sanctuary and Dreamweaver vs Wasteland.

    How to play:
    It would function almost like a normal TW. Guilds get ready and go in when server battle is announce aka Lost City vs Heaven Tears, or whatever. It would be an even battlefield. In order to win you must destroy the other guild's crystal, or enemy guild's crystal has less HP than your crystal after three hours as expired. So no more crying about defending is easier, losers.

    Deciding the winner:
    After all servers had finish their wars(Lost City vs Heaven Tears and Sanctuary, or Dreamweaver vs Wasteland). Wins, losses, and draws will be added up for respective servers(if you didn't know Heaven Tears and Sanctuary are one). The winner would have the most wins, losers with most losses, and a draw would occur if both are equal in those fields. I decided to make a scoring system for idoits. Wins is worth two points each, draws are one point each, and losses is zero. Add them up and compare which is greater.

    Example:
    Outcome Scoring

    Peaceful beat Grass. Lost City - 2 HTS - 0

    Musume beat Soil. Lost City - 2 HTS - 0

    Quitters lose to Wood. Lost City - 0 HTS - 2

    Conqueror beat Plants. Lost City - 2 HTS - 0

    Spectral lose to Lake Lost City - 0 HTS - 2

    Add those numbers for their respective side and then compare.

    Lost City Heaven Tears and Sanctuary

    Lost City: 2+2+0+2+0=6

    Heaven Tears and Sanctuary: 0+0+2+0+2=4

    6 > 4

    Lost City win. Of course, you got to add ten numbers for both sides instead of five, but I think you know how to add. Right?

    Rewards:
    I plan the rewards to be something the whole server can benefit(2x EXP, no EXP loss upon death, x amount of coins drop, and etc). So since they're no GM in my post. I'll let the GMs decide on the duration of these bonuses.

    Others:
    I decided to have a penalty for the losing guilds. They aren't eligible for next server wars. This should free up space for newer guilds.

    Anyone like to add, or suggest anything?

    Wow they killed my spacing. Make me edit like few times >.>
