A Merging idea....

WaterSarah - Sanctuary

Dx not another one.. but yea I think this would workb:cute.

Lets say they did merge a server, I have come up with a simple idea to solve it. b:chuckle. Sorry if I couldn't just comment on a current thread but I would like some opinions... wow reading that made it just sound wrong ><... back to point...

To start I have taken notice of the "GT" in friend menu, tbh I dunno what it does. So lets put Raging Tides and Sanctuary into a merge... Using the GT if its unimporant, instead of it being there pointlessly, Make it change between RT(for Raging Tides), SC(for sanctuary)and BM(Before Merge), that way we get to keep our names!

As for player names! To add people to friend list besides right click, you would would have to choose what they are by drop box, of say RT,SC,BM.

Servers would also get a color, so like BM would be blue, and as a pole the servers merging get to choose color, so like SC red, and RT green maybe as examples lol..

Now about faction names:It would be pointless to pay a bid for names, or make factions duke it out for the name. So if there currently isn't 2 factions with same name say "demonsage" or "Raventail"... then they get to keep it. But say there is a Legendary faction on both servers. New factions though would not get a color and would be forced into the original blue b:surrender...


Now about the server name! I didn't think of how they would do this, which name would stay or if it would become different... or maybe they might just force it as a combo of both Sanctisaur doesn't sound good though XD... but Raging Sanctuary sounds ok as well...

Now you may ask about new players joining, they are forced back to blue (except that is only for new accounts, old accounts get to keep there a color no matter what) and all old people get a color instead of a ugly addition... as for pk colors, the additions would be needed to show that people are in it... say it swaps color for an addition...

For those with chars on both servers being added, I say for them, ask which server they choose say a pop up box "RT or SC" and you click it and it would go to a login menu for those chars you have on that server.

I really do not have an idea for the catshops in arch... Though I think that eventually it will even out and we would all get used to it...

Also rankings, I say we should just have 3 differnt rankings, 2 for the origional servers, and one for in total, but that would also be a ranking-block to the newer people who are bluenamed b:surrender...

Erm while were talking about this... I think they should double the amount of instance slots, say its set to 5000, then make it 10000 for the merged server... Friend list be doubled or tripled (preferred and no I don't have that many friends >:c ) open up fb109, and make it 3x harder so even r9+12 have a challenge (like ill get there xD) but not to hard as to prevent the people without that to be able to run. Also I'm pretty sure a squad of 5aps sins are pretty much able to solo most things anyways...

Sorry its like 4 in the morning here when im writing this... Any suggestions, or whatever just feel free to comment below..b:cute

Ok, my opinion:

I don't like laggs and don't want any merge of servers.

If you will multiply quantity of catshops in arch by 2, I will be not able to move there may be.

I don't think it would work. Basically, there are 3 scenarios possible :
- 2 well populated servers merge : no point in it, except for arch to be even more overcrowded with shops.
- 2 under populated servers merge : no point in it, 2 x 0 = 0, and it's more likely to keep a divided population with old-X vs old-Y mindset.
- An under populated server merges with a well populated server : would work in theory, but you won't find 1 of each that go togather. The under populated servers are the later ones that were created with different server time/language.
I honestly doubt there are 2 servers that would go togather and both have an ok population at the low-side, which could make it a good idea.

On a 2nd point, I don't think a server merge is of any use. Like I stated in some other thread, I think it's a problem that the world map is pretty much empty and that all events are only accessible in a short and specific periode of time. Due to this, togather with PW being an old game by now, there will be less and less new players. For instance, european players have the choice between night-events and empty servers with french/german language. And on both, it will be a single player game till you hypered to 100s...

The name databases are separate for almost all the servers. There's a couple of servers that share name databases, and those are the only ones that you could really possibly merge.

In the end though, there's no real point to it. It would require a lot of extra time and effort on the part of the company to do something like this, and it's not like they even put time and effort into fixing bugs or designing a site that works properly.
