Info: Möglicher Server-Zusammenschluss

Nesh, XKate and Glory. Good points from all of you. And good to check out the database Antigone. Now we know that it seems possible to merge the servers technically, but not sure about the faction names. But faction id numbers are probably unique as usernames so thats probably just a matter of renaming.

I myself are able to understand both English and German but with French I have to use Google translatator and that is not workable in squads. But most have some knowledge in English so that will work out fine or you play the game with friends you are able to communicate with.

When this server started there were a lot of more people doing TW. It was soo fun and several TW lasted 2h and more. Today I think only one faction on Moma server are able to have 80 gamers online for TW, correct me if I am wrong. I do not think merging will help up the TW part of this game since a lot of high level gamers on Moma server are not into TW at all. So maybe its better to keep the European servers split and let us all "old players" with a lot of characters, as Glory put it, keep having fun together.

And last, are PWI interrested in a merge? Are there any GM reading this thread? Actually do we have any GM or Moderator here on this forum. I did a quick search and have not found any yet. Maybe Denadoro have this function but I am not sure. So maybe we are all wasting our time on this thread... hopefully not.

I saw that now... stupid me. Thanks Jax

Well if it is possible to merge servers and keeping the user accounts and factions with faction bases I see no reason not to merge if server total computer power is kept high enough. So If merging I suppose it will be a PvE server. The rumour two years back was that a third European server might show up. And that would be a PvP PWI-UK server.

I have seen myself that with better computer with 64-bit Windows 7 running the client, the lag is less when moving around in West Archosaur compared with 32-bit Vista. I suppose it is a memory issue since the client need around 1.2GB for me.

Also ich bin fuer einen Zusammenschluss.. Aber ?!
-Generell sollte es ein PvE Server bleiben, denn ich denke viele Spieler haben diesen Server nicht ohne Grund ausgewaehlt.

-Wie soll das mit der Kommunikation funktionieren? Ich hatte mir einmal ausversehen meinen ersten Charakter in Lothranis erstellt.. Dort wird ja nur franzoesisch gesprochen. Sollen wir dann jetzt auch noch franzoesisch lernen um sie zu verstehen? Die sprechen auf ihrem Server ja gar kein Englisch, so wie wie es auf aber Momaganon tun..

-Eigentlich ist es ja eine ganz tolle Idee. . Es waeren wieder mehr Leute da, neue Herausforderungen in den TW's.

Aber eine Frage habe ich da noch: Wenn nun dieser Zusammenschluss stattfindet, wielange sollte es dauern? Ich moechte naemlich nicht 5 Jahre warten. ;o

Selber Pscht Tino !
Naja, wenn du pvp server 'soo' toll findest? Wieso hast du dann nicht bei nem PvP Server angefangen? :b
Und Leute würden aufhören zu spielen, weil sie den PvE Server ausgewählt haben, damit man nicht ständig überall umgenatzt wird. .__.'
Lothranis ist ja auch ein PvE Server. Aber hey, ich kann dich erleichtern. Hab da schonmal etwas gestalkt. Dort sind mehr Leute am Westgate am Pk'n als bei uns >;o
Da. So hätten wir das geklärt. Es bleibt PvE und du kannst die neuen Leute umhauen. x)) ( Ziemlich viele R9 Dinger )

Grundsätzlich würde ich mich FÜR einen Zusammenschluss der Server aussprechen.
Aber ich finde auch die Gilden müssten 'mitgenommen' werden koennen, ohne verluste.
Die factionbase auf ein gewisses lvl zu bringen kostet schließlich viel arbeit und kohle, das waere dann schon ein großer verlust. Mehr Spieler die aktiv dabei sind würd ich aber sehr begrüßen, denn es ist manchmal irre schwierig squads zu finden >.> Ich hoffe da lässt sich ne gute Lösung finden

Weedschopf, Mormaganon

I don't care if servers merge or not - all I care is setting the official server language to english (so the systems announces like "Butttheater" or City of Abonimations event are english). It can be 2 seperate servers or one server - It doesn't matter.

In case you merge the servers though I am for keeping the server PVE - honestly, free pvp is for morons and bored childs who likes to bully others. I don't want to care about a 100+ Rank 9 flying over my quest mobs and killing me just because I am an easy target - If you want pvp find someone your range, man! We will see how you do in a fair fight.

In my opinion, a merge is probably the only way to fill atleast one server with a little more life, I don' really know about Lothranis population though...

My only concern is: How will character names be handled, considering there might be some popular names taken on both servers?

And if I had to decide, I'd really want the merged server to be PvP, cause the reason I came to this server wasn't: BECAUSE I WANT TO BE ON A PVE SERVER... no, just the server time seemed more convenient for me

So yeah... Greetings,

Vairy

the char name question was answered 3 times already. the character databases are the same from the beginning. there are no double names on the servers!

the database wich contains the information about the factions will most likely have to be REWRITTEN tho. This means someone has to sit there for two or three days and do it manually. Ppl above 20 years of age, with an idea about this matter, ususally want money for their work. This leads to the biggest problem. PWE is greedy and doesnt want to spent a single buck more than absolutely needed on the ppl wich pay their new cars, sofas, flatscreens, coffee shop visits and 1000€ flats in beautiful amsterdam. Thats why PWE decided to say: "Were not sure about what to do with your factions."

A little hint:
They will consider spening the manhours if they sense, that they **** off enough ppl with these decisions eg. that they will make more loss by not doing it than by doing it.

I played on the PWI MS version and I was one of many players who felt let down when PWI closed that version of the game. It was a multilanguage server, which in my humble opinion failed to attract enough players to make it economically viable for PWI to run. I do remember though that a lot of players invested a lot of time and money into that version but even though they did that they were still let down.
As I recall many Forum comments asked for 'their accounts to be able to switch to another server' but all those comments fell on deaf 'PWI' ears. I suggest caution when recommending a merge of servers, it must be conditional on us all having the ability to switch our user account/accounts hassle free.
Ques:- PWI why would any European player continue to play if you again repeat the mistake of not allowing account transfers ?
Ques:- PWI what will happen to all the marriages, will they all get automatically divorced? Will they recieve a free gratis groom/bridalpack?
Ques:- PWI Which language is best suited for Europe? I ask because the EU is a collective of 27 nations.

I don't know the answers to any of these questions or whether i will continue to support and play on a new European version of PWI.

Those are my cons.

Here are my Pros.
The timezone of an EU version is great for the full enjoyment of the game.
I have made many ingame friendships and would love to continue with them.
I'm level 101 with my barb and I feel this is now the best and most enjoyable period I've ever had playing PWI, baring in mind my addiction to PWI started nearly 9 years ago on the PWI Malyasian eng version. My server travels have been many, too many to list them all here. This is where that journey has brought me.
Let's hope I can continue with this enjoyable journey.

Moin,
wird Mormaganon jetzt doch PvP Server? Wenn ich nachfolgende Ankündigung lese, werde ich selbigen Eindruck nicht los:
http://de.perfectworld.eu/news/?p=106621

PVP betrifft auch z.B TWs, demnach sind auch PVE Server betroffen soweit ich das versteh.

Why this is only told in the french forum?

Ihr glaubt doch nicht im Ernst, das die Franzosen höchst offiziell englisch schreiben/sprechen werden auf einem EU Server? Das ist etwas weltfremd. Die bekommen es i.d.R. nicht mal in einem Forum gebacken ihre Texte mit Google zu übersetzen... Das Ergebnis wäre ein öffentlicher Chat in Englisch, Deutsch und Französisch. Ob das mehr Kunden anlockt?

Die meist gesprochene Sprache in Europa ist im übrigen Deutsch. Also wäre es sinnvoll die Serversprache als Deutsch zu deklarieren. Ich habe jahrelang auf einem englischsprachigen Server gespielt, da musste man sich ebenfalls anpassen und konnte nicht sein "Ding" durchdrücken.

PvP-Server: Das hab ich auch schon durch. Leveln mit 2 Bodyguards, weil irgendwelche Kretins im RL zuwenig Anerkennung bekommen. TW und das Duell-System sind völlig ausreichend zum virtuellen Aggressionsabbau. Die überwiegende Mehrheit sind sowieso PvE-Spieler.
