    HL is far from empty, it jus gets bigger as we speak b:shocked But server merge is not needed at all, lag would b too much and there arent like 2 pvp servers east and 2 pvp servers west so it wouldnt work at all. A new pvp server would definitely b fun since I wanted to test out other classes and hav that pvp for grind spot which Im sure every1 in pvp servers miss.

    I'd say that merge all PvE servers. I know there are lots of players in the daytime, but when I play (midnight-2pm Sanctuary time), it's hard to even find a squad. I would be happy to get more players. And I mean lots of them.

    Each server still has lots player so i don't want them to merge. b:cry

    no PWI isnt dying unlike PW-MY i think PWI is doing great and there is no point to merge the servers. as for spice in TW: as long as ppl continue playing create factions some new strong ones will come to change things. until then we do our best!

    Quoted from MANray_

    Server merges are usually done when it's no longer cost effective to keep the original number of servers operating. This means the game is loosing players as servers at full capacity cannot be merged anyway. In case you've never seen a server merge in another MMO it usually goes hand in hand with deleting inactive accounts.

    Server merges are usually a strong sign a game is in trouble and are regarded as a sign of failure by both investors and the gaming community. Requesting one just so you can PvP with people on another sever is stupid.



    I totally agree with this.

    I have seen server merges in a couple of MMO's. Sure the publisher will pitch it as a way to enhance PvP et etc.

    Things that can go wrong are:
    Duplicate name issue's as mentioned (Usually they will state that the higher character with a duplicate name will be the one that remains within 1 account.)

    If the name is used by different players they might ask both players to agree upon 1 keeping the name while the other gets the name changed. If both decline to rename their name both players get a generic name assigned to them by the GM's.

    Then you have the issue of gear..
    Or the issue of TW lands with factions accross the to be merged servers...


    Server merge = B A D
    I speak for myself. My opinions are my own.
    Assuming I speak for others is therefor void.

    the issue about TW lands gets solved like this: the map gets clear again(means that all factions lose their lands) and everything start from the begining

    (that happend at PW-MY)

    True Irrianna..

    That would solve it for the publisher.
    But those that gathered the coins, did the ground work in battle etc would be p****d to say the least.
    Things like that would damage the reputation of a game.

    Bottomline the publisher made a large boo-boo with us the community paying for it.

    A merge would be nice because factions might regroup and players would mix up again. Wouldn't mind to merge with a PvP server (what will never happen).

    Hmm well,

    In R*pp*lz / L*n*g*2 I saw different reacties to the merges.
    Note this is what "I" saw and what I use as a base for my opinion.

    lag and dc will be terrible if 2 full servers merged. and some others problem will be: 1 it will be impossible to farm mid-mats and some kinds of herbs (some ppl pk for mats)
    2 west arch it will be 10 times laggy than now. the shops will end up filling the roofs of the buildings (im talking about 2 full servers)
    3 kill-stealing will increased
    4 WC will become a mess from ppl who argue (it will be imposible to shout for help or sell items)
    5 pkers will increased

    Well one way to solve the duplicate name issue is to offer a "rename scroll" in the CS, so that when you are told you have to rename your lvl 5x character that shares the same name as a 9x from another server, they can make you buy one. Sounds like a typical PW move...

    What an insane thing to suggest. Heaven's Tear is laggy enough thank you very much b:shutup

    What PWI really needs is servers splitting down into selectable channels in a manner not dissimilar to Ether Saga, Jade Dynasty and Kung Foo - i.e. Trading Realm, Realm 1, Realm 2 and so on... This would fix the lag issues for starters since Cat Shops would be all in Trading Realm. It would also solve ksing troubles since players can just switch realm to find a nice free grind spot.

    To be honest, I'm surprised this has never been implemented into PWI considering all PWE's other games take on this format.

    I never said that PWI absolutely HAD to follow the same channel format as the other games if it were to be implemented.

    They can just make all PVE channels in the PVE servers and all PVP channels in the PVP servers.
