Please merge Alexina and Nao Mk IV
Comments
I tell you I want a merge even MORE now. I've been making soooo much gold on Nao, my main on Alexina REALLY wants to sell a dead bee to my Nao character; but I digress. The main argument against stems from the duplicate name issue. Unfortunately, this means that under the same conditions, a final merge is unlikely until Nexon is compelled to act, as they were last spring. I said so, last year, that the worst possible scenario was to do a partial merge and that's exactly what we got. Had Alexina been included then we would have all gone through this name business together. This is one of those times when one hates being right.
But . . .
If they can change the primary key, for our characters, in the Mabinogi database, from name/server-of-residence to record number then this will allow for duplicate names. This conveys three benefits:
1) you can call yourself, say, Kitsune and so can anyone else; you don't have to be Kitsune010, Kjtsune, Kitsuune, Kitsunne, Kittsune, and so on;
2) there would then be no impediment to a full merge.
3) this would free their hands to set-up an alternate load bearing system from the multi-channel one, to a deeper multi-tiered one.
Given, 2 and 3, there would be no impediment to a full world-wide merge, like World of Warcraft, either.
