Server Merge?

Hey GMs, MODs, and my dearest friends.

I guess it's time for us to finally have our servers merge. Reasons are:

1. PvP wise, currently from my research in every servers all the pk area always filled with the same people and it's getting old. Need something new (Better competitor, better atmosphere, better gears, better skills).

2. TW wise, if you see every Lands always conquered by the strongest faction which is the faction that everybody goes and they just auto tab noobs faction a.k.a (1shotloludead). It's getting again old and boring.

3. Merchant wise, our gold price is increasing every single week. WHY? because our merchanters are always the same and again, whos got the most money wins. If we merge servers off course this will solved by making them more competitive with each other.

4. Guild Activity wise, if see it again how many people the most u can see from ur faction? 60? 80? 100? Have u ever seen u got more then 180 members online in ur guild? GUESS WHAT? because they got too many alts right now. If server merge people will always stay on their main/better geared character.

How to make it:

1. Put another world map that can be entered by all servers so that all server can only communicate on this huge map in any sides of it.

2. Buy a better Programer to set it up so this can happen on ur 4th Anniversary looks.

3. Do it!

    I'd love it. It would make game way much better. But dont expect getting this. Sadly, PWE rarely gives anything we want.


    p.s: Most interesting for me Merch/PvP merge, since it makes bigger challenge ^^

    The majority of the US servers were not started with merging in mind. The only ones that can merge are Sanc, Heaven's Tear, and Archosaur, and that's because the all share a name database. Merging any of the other servers would cause massive deletions of same ID/named characters.

    I do like the idea of a massive server hub though where everyone could go. But the same limitations apply. If Jeremied from Sanc and Jeremied from Raging Tides were to ever try to get into server hub map at the same time, one of them would be auto kicked. Much less destructive than overwriting eachother, but still annoying.

    tl;dr

    No.

    For that maybe they can put another sign on every character a logo that they are the Lost City servers player / Sanctuary servers player / etc. That's an easy problem to be solved. The hardest part is to pay a programmer to actually make a new instance (THE NEW WORLD MAP) so that everybody can goes in from every servers.

    Yes, overhauling each server's entire name database for a little icon is so very easy. Why haven't they thought of this before in the 8 years the game has been around. It's not like there are hundreds of other threads asking the same thing or anything.

    Thats why i stated on number 2 to buy a programmer that can make it happen. Cos so far they are spending money on other patch / packs.

    I have to agree that this would be an awesome idea, to see servers merge and see what happens with the pvp & merchanting. However, there would be a lot of conflicts with names, and West Arch is already pretty crowded most of the time. If certain NPCs were also moved out of West Arch, then those who don't want to deal with the lag could avoid it. Marriage quest, anyone?
    If you bite some one, they get mad and smack you.
    But if you lick them, you still get the flavor.
    And they think you're weird.

    Why would merging servers stop the phenomenon of all the best players wanting to be in the same fac?

    you make the wild assumption that there isn't a name-changing item already in the game that would solve this quite easily.

    there's one for guild names, too.

    Am I in the Twilight Zone or something?

    Every other thread re: server merge is usually met instantly with derision & naysayers
    and posts telling how many times this has already been suggested, etc. etc.
    I had to keep checking the date on the OP to make sure I was seeing right, lol.

    No reflection on the OP--I think it would be great. I'm just puzzled at the
    responding posts. So different from what I was expecting.

    lol, anyway, carry on . . . .

    Sooooooooo I guess the OP doesn't know what the search function is to see that there are hundreds of these threads and they all get closed with a message from a mod or a gm saying NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

    So yeah, inb4close.

    And that's why we got 7vs1 TW. It's going to be hard to defend 7 territories now.

    I don't see any reason why would Gold price drop if we merge server. It could only go up, since there will be even more cash shoppers on one server who buy a lot of stuff.

    I agree with statement that there is too many alts running around. But if we merge servers, there will just be even more alts running around. In a month or two, everything will be back to usual business.

    I can. We complained and complained that the Tideborn starter wings were too small.

    So they listened, and increased the size of all the Tideborn wings by almost double, and never touched the starter wings.

    Yes I'm getting sick of seeing you! joking I can't say I've seen you anywhere besides the one time you were participating in my hide and seek event for the Tidal Serpent.

    On topic.

    Server merge would indicate this game is dying. Why would they want to give that impression?

    Only if they make some sort of "shopping district" for all of the catshops with no NPCs in it that you might have to see for a quest. Three servers' worth of catshops would crash a lot of computers.

    Imagine if they had a Find Item option.

    You put in the item you would like. It complies a list of ALL catshops / AH selling the item and gives you the coordinates and prices for it. @_@

    That would be amazing :O

    its to bad that idea would take way to much programming so we will never see it no matter how easy it would make shopping and comparing prices, then again I rather enjoy looking through cat shops when i get bored.
