Server Merge?

Too much programing lol ?

Most games today have server merges that take like 24h max to merge em


They need to merge all PVP servers into 1

This has been addressed by the current staff and the staff before them quite a few times. We all want it. We've all given details on how they could accomplish this.

As much as this would be a great idea, at the current time it is not within PWE's, ability, know-how, budget, etc. (Choose one or all)

When and if it is something they are able to do, I am pretty sure it will be done.

they are able to do it, they have the structure in place to do it. as people have stated in other threads, idk if in this one, there are name databases that several servers share. there is no reason for separate servers to share a name database, aside from easing the transition in the event of a server merge. Just because they deny they have the capability doesnt mean they dont have it.

there will be server merges at some point, we just dont know when.

you guys are forgetting that there are different time zones and types of server (PVP) (PVE).

LC (PVP), HT (PVE), Sanct (PVE), Arch (PVE) = West Coast
HL (PVP), DW (PVE), RT (PVE) = East Coast
Lothranis (PVE) and Momaganon (PVE) = EU

merging servers in different time zones:
merging servers form different time zones means events and TW will be taking place at different time and i'm most certainly sure that people won't be happy about that.
each time zone have its own separate database, so while all servers on the same time zone are not allow to have the same toon names, it doesn't apply to a server on a different time zone. for example: a toon is named "hello" on LC (West Coast) the name "hello" can't be used anymore on servers HT, Sanct, and Arch which are all also West Coast servers. but the name can still be use on an East Coast or EU server because they have separate databases. so if you were to merge LC with say HL (which also happens to have a toon named "hello") there will be problem.
so merging servers in different time zones? i'll say, "just don't do it".

merging servers in same time zones:
merging servers in same time zones is possible since they share the same time (events and TW still be same time as before) and database (there is already no conflicting toon names). but then PVP and PVE comes into play. for example: HT, Sanct, and Arch can be merged into one another because they are all PVE servers. LC on the other hand is a PVP server so merging it with the others might not be a very good idea. because it or the server it is merging with will have to change from either PVP to PVE or PVE to PVP. agian, certainly, people won't be happy about that. so LC is left out since it doesn't have any other PVP servers on the West Coast to merge with (same thing with HL on the East Coast). unless the people on it agrees to change into PVE or the other server agrees to change into PVP.
now you might say "why not merge LC (PVP) with HL (PVP)?". well, they are in different time zones. conflicts with different time zones are already explained above.

so yeah, merging servers is possible, but with limited possibilities.
hope this clears some things up.
