in General Chat
There should be a server merge because I'd find it great to be able to hang out with everyone without having to make another character on a different server.

I am ready to hear anything anyone has to say.

    I think it is possible to do a merge without any loss happening.

    Guess its been like what three weeks? Oh well.
    General overview of server merge.
    Make it all one server none of this "Alexina must die" stuff.
    Don't make server merge coupons.
    Nobody wants them because you lose your items/pets and have to pay tons of irl money to get your stuff back.
    People want to keep their names, but some people hate the suggestion of having your previous server next to your name somewhere.

    What i would like:
    Keep all my homestead stuff. Tbh this my only concern cause at this point i've spent 69mil on my hs.
    I would be furious if i lost all of it, mostly because its limited time only items.

    Don't forget about the housing system: how is that gonna work after everything gets squished together? Where will castle gold go to and all that?

    That's honestly what I think.... From yesterday's stream CM/GM said they don't have plan for server merge, so NA mabi teams are not even considering it. And its what keeps me from spending too much money in this game. Because game feels like it's going to die any day.

    Why are people keep saying that they will lose 'everything'? If they decide to do server merge, they are trying to gather playerbase and make game more 'live', not make everyone quit by taking their stuff. If it's going to happen, there will be announcement about what can't be transferred before server merge.
    Also merge won't make you lose your pet, that's 'server transfer service'. And it happens because server transfer service will not transfer whole account, it only transfers one character, thus pets will stay in previous server.

    I'm pretty sure NA doesn't get to make the decision, KR does, like they get to make all our decisions.

    Also, people thinking they'd lose their items is a mixup of people thinking a merge has the same effect the server transfer coupons does. I wasn't clear on this until the last server merge thread when someone corrected me.

    In terms of actual merging, I don't care at this point, I just wish something could be done about pet names if this happens. Like let people use the same names for their pets if there's a merge, I don't see why they have to be different from everyone like a character name does. I just don't wanna lose my pet names lol.

    I know, NA team does not have any decision-making authority, but if it's going to happen at least they will be informed about it.
    For name mix-ups, I personally don't care but I know some people do. I just hope there'll be some kind of name change service to remove the tag if it happens. (Like what happened in kr, free name change service for those who had server tag on them)
    Pet names cannot be identical because pets are considered as characters. People can login as a pet and talk,whisper,etc, though people rarely login as animal characters.

    I thought names and pet names were unavailable once it's been created already? If not, I have a suggestion.
    Remember those Name/Chat Color Change Potions? Why not remove them and have our names a certain color? Red for previous alexina play...oh but then players will complain they do't like the color they've been given. What another blunder...

    In any case, a merge is a merge. It should be simple to copy someone's entire account information across. This includes: gold in your bank and anything inside, pets and anything stored inside, players stats, skills, talents, journal information, titles (not sure about unique titles such as those who broke the barriers from when the server just started), wardrobes as well as premium/VIP services. Of course, those who own a house will lose that but the announcement will warn them ahead of time. It really shouldn't be that complicated. Ch 8, 9 and 10 should also be introduced.

    Yes. We get these threads, like, every week. It's the exact same suggestion, so there's no need to make multiple threads about it.
