* If I create 16 characters on Sanctuary and Lost City Server, the login screen will be able to handle 16 characters? (I doubt that). Or will I have to delete some characters to have access to the last ones on the list? (most likely).
* If the login screen can seriously handle 16 characters, everyone would create 8 more characters on other server now. You would get more space for storage and more rewards for future login events.

It would scroll, and yes, that's not a bad idea.0 -

On a pve server you can chose when to be blue name or white name.
Excatly why I picked pvp. Maybe it's hard for some ppl to realise, but YES, we chose it because there is no safe mode for anyone, we are all white since lvl 30, it's a kind of a challenge and motivation to improve and for me it was a huge part of fun.

And now you want all of us to be forced to play on pvp server or you want that pvp servers to merge in pvp server and pve server to merge in pve server?

As I said before, we have 2 pvp servers, quite enough for merging. It would change time zone for one of them, but just slightly and it's still better than to remove pvp servers at all and "send" usa players over the ocean, IMO.

i think HL just scared of gettin rekt.0

Yeah, btw, 3 months is pure nonsese, it's not enough time for 2 factions to reach each other if they start on 2 different sides of map. Besides several guilds will go for arch-1k city and it will take a month to get them because you can't just bid them having nothing or only one lvl3 land, and if nobody tries to prevent it, outbid etc. There is no time for real fight. Do GMs/CMs realise that? I really wonder why such decision was taken, it doesn't seem right. Ppl were unpleased by 6 months resets, arguing that it was too fast to reset. And now 3 only
We are gonna fight a planned fac once or twice and then start over? Where are tactics and planning? It was also big part of TW fun. 0 -
Since it is possible to merge US with EU server i assume that it is possible to transfer characters from LC to EU as well. If i am going to be a pve player (wich I hate btw) then i'd much rather not miss any event anymore. I would like an answer from an official, please, to confirm if this is going to be done!0

Wont be many of us online for you to "rekt" when most of us are sleeping or at work during your peak hours. When we are on you guys will be asleep or at work.0 -

Agree.Alot ppl from LC would like to go to EU server.

Well now we know its doable to do server merges, perhaps it would be possible for server transfer stones for those that really aren't happy. Especially those 'HL' players. Although i can't see PWI just leaving events at the current EU Time. Perhaps they would take the events forwards a couple of hours, would be 10pm TW's on Morai, but 5PM for East Coast, i think that's as fair as it could be. I don't know if thats possible, or maybe changing the server time backwards by 2 hours? We will have to see. They will have their FaQ up soon i would presume, given the abruptness of these 'server merges' .0

>people want merge

Ah, PWI community, stay classy.
This is going to be my merge copy pasta for the next week.
Anyway, server switch ability would be great as well, since a lot of players also had to start out on a US server due to the lack of (at that point) a EU server.
The only fitting image for this forum.0 -
I was always against the merge, because I could forsee the consequences>people want merge

Ah, PWI community, stay classy.
But I admit, it benefits a lot of ppl as well. I just disagree with the order of merging. They should reconsider servers combinations, because it can be done much better.

It's as if the pwe team sat down in the meeting room and said "Ok guys what are the absolute worst server merge combinations we can come up with?"0 -

Who could of foreseen idiotic decision to merge HL to Morai? It has nothing to do with the idea of merge, which has been taken positively with every other server merge. Its all bout idiotic execution. 0 -

Mutualization xD
Maybe there will be activity on the server at any hour.
I barely don't play anymore except for some NW/TW, so I don't care a lot, but it could be a good thing.
Bad part is event time for you, but... it's PWE, we can't have great expectations in the first place.0 -
I can even understand the logic partly "on pvp servers pvp players still can pvp and pve can pve", but it would be justified if they had no choice. But they had. And it makes me wonder how they end up coming to this decision having such choice =(reaperarm1 wrote: »It's as if the pwe team sat down in the meeting room and said "Ok guys what are the absolute worst server merge combinations we can come up with?"

What'd you expect when it's PWE that's doing the merges?
They'd merge a server on the moon with a server on venus if they couldThe only fitting image for this forum.0 -

Love how NON EU time players now see how we felt when we wake up in 5 in morning to do event for 6 years xD.
Server Transfer Stone if very good solution but only if thay give them to as for free,not to put them in boutique for 100 golds or something like that.If thay put it in boutique it can be abused for buying gold on servers where gold is cheeper.
Only option is to send emails for every account on every server where you can chose to what server you want to be transfered but that would also not be good if all ppl in 1 guild wana transfer to other server and cant take thier guild bases to other server too.0 -
EU players should get the option to be transferred to an EU server. Especially those accounts that were created before there were any EU servers.0

Hmm.. A few months ago I somehow quit without really making a conscious decision (Just didn't play anymore). But it seems like it was the right call. I will log in after the merge, because I am curious to see if it all works out and I wanna stalk some Sanctuary forum people and annoy them with HH, CV, GV and stuff, but making all servers PvE is a really dumb idea. I did change from Dreamweaver to Lost City after a year of playing for a reason. As some people mentioned, where is the harm in merging Harshlands with Lost City and keep it PvP. Would fix the EU times issue as well. But that would be an easy and satisfying solution - so it's not going to happen. I am curious how many of the old people from Lost City will quit over this. I read far less forum rage than I expected right now.0

There are still many non-US players on all the servers, haven't heard much consideration about them ever.
And now HL is QQing about the EU time and none is asking to considerate the NW timing that EU ppl can join at least one cross-server NW.
It would be really great to have an option of server transfer for everyone - with so much change it is the only fair option.
And i would recommend to make the events (other than tw and nw) repeated for different time zones with limitation to be able to be attennded only once.
Like remember the s-pack event? How many of you asked for it to be activated every two hours but with limit to do 4 times a day? Don't remember any US ones.
Think a bit more about everybody not only about yourself then may be we have better chances for PWI management to hear us.0 -
I bet for most people this forum is broken. I have to use the ArcLauncher to read and write in this forum (with IE I don't get the option to write a comment and with firefox this forum is almost a blank screen (just upper bar is visible). Since you can even submit blessing without Arc, many ppl even don't install it anymore. My Javascript is up-to-date btw..sentient24 wrote: »I read far less forum rage than I expected right now.

I expected more activity too after this annoucement but can't be very surprised as well.
Actually this is the first time I've come back to the forum since the day of the migration to vanilla, and before that I was kinda addicted to it. So I guess a lot of other people did stop to visit forums as well.0 -
Imagine this:
Back in 2008 you find this really awesome game called PWI. Since you come from Europe you have to chose the least bad server choice, east. You go play for a couple of years, level up several toons, gearing them, making friends, maybe spend a little cash here and there. After a couple of years you have a couple of really well-geared toons and have a lot of good friends. Sure, you've been a bit annoyed at times that you can't participate in the weekly events, but hey, you managed to do well anyway.
Now it's 2012, and this new event called Nation Wars just arrived. You can't participate in this event either, cause it starts at 2am, but this time it's an event that actually matter. You need this event to be able to gear up, to keep progressing in the game. You get a bit angry cause now, for the first time in the four years you've played the game, missing an event actually hinders your progress. You come to the forums asking that maybe they could change one time slot for this event to be just a little bit earlier. Maybe have it start 2 hours earlier, so you just have to stay up until 2 am. But no change is made, and every time you mention it to someone you just get told that you should change server and start over or just deal with it and get up at 2 am.
So, Harshland players. If you don't like what happens maybe you should just change server and start over? Or deal with it, just start playing a bit earlier. How hard can it be?
Even thou revenge is sweet, I actually agree that US players should not have to change to EU time. The best option would be, in my opinion, free server transfers to 3 different new servers, one west coast, one east coast and one EU. That way everyone can go to the one that fits them the best.0 -

This sounds very great, but utopic. I doubt effort would be made to make this happen, it would be a mess PWI haven't seen yet, and we've seen pretty bad times ( remember all instances breaking down and servers at the end, yeah...). It's easier just to merge in servers just like that, after picking them (seemingly) randomly.
