Survey of Server Merge Supporters
After going around talking to a few people, I came up with a curious question. What server was most in support of the server merge? For that, I've added a poll to ask what server your main is/was on if you were in support of the merge. If you were an opponent of the merge, please don't vote on the poll.
For discussion's sake, how was your experience with the merge? Was there difficulties? What changes did you like or dislike? Did you like the increase in population or did you prefer a more quiet experience?

Alexina 43%ish
Mari 26%ish
Ruairi 18%ish
Tarlach 13%ish
If that is the case, then it will ironic as the server that most supports a merge didn't get the merge.
I also know that the pro-merge people would have loved to argue all day with the anti-merge people, but the anti-merge people never felt the need to go out of their way to squabble about it because they were already satisfied with the no merge decision for Alexina.
Which is the attitude I need to take, to be honest. There's no need for me to posit anti-merge opinions. My "side" already "won" from the start.
But don't assume we don't exist. The pro-merge people are just more visible because you're all voicing unopposed complaints. There is a large anti-merge group that isn't engaging with you. At this point I'm just rolling my eyes whenever I see surveys that only pro-merge people will vote in, and discussions that only pro-merge people will weigh in on. It's like you guys don't even realise you're in a biased echo chamber.
I think I may have misunderstood the question, what exactly are you asking?
You seem to misunderstand the question, the point of the poll isn't to check the supports by percentage of server, but to examine where the proponents of the server merge originate from. The point here is that if 30 people voted here originated from Alexina, it just simply means that 30 people did not get the merge they wanted. The poll is related to people that were proponents of the merge, and to see which server had the most people in support of it. let me explain this to you with numbers. Let's say Alexina has 1000 people, Mari has 500, Tarlach has 250, and Ruairi has 125. In Alexina only 400 people wanted the merge, Mari has 300 people that wanted the merge, Tarlach 100, Ruairi 50. I am ONLY interested in the people that are were for the merge and where they originated from. This poll isn't asking for opponents of the server merge, its asking for proponents of it. If you are an opponent of the server merge, then I'm not asking you to participate in this poll because you are an opponent to the merge, not a proponent. As for why this doesn't ask for opponents of the merge, we've already had polls asking the question of for and against the merge. I am not interested in that question. I am interested in the people that wanted a merge, and where they came from.
Server merge basically means a game is close to it's death bed.
I'll enjoy the activeness for now, who knows how long it'll last before everyone starts afking again.
It'll just be like Ruairi all over again: Life-less pixel corpses standing around, except more of them.
We have? This is the first poll I’ve seen.
I haven't run into any issues personally, my main got to keep her name, all of my alts but one (that I might delete anyway) and most of my pets, so I feel pretty good about that.
I'm curious how the economy will change now that we've combined 3 (probably) different ones. I guess we'll find out once the auction house and everything is working again. Hopefully it'll be a good change.
Oh lore, good luck with that. That sounds absolutely miserable
I just wanted a pooled market personally. My OCD demands it. Pretty indifferent otherwise. I'm still pining/would like for a way to probe Alexina's market,
But since they added more channels to Nao, I'm crossing my fingers that things will look up soon.
Let’s use your own example numbers to demonstrate the problem here - people like you would see them and conclude that it’s soooooo ironic Alexina didn’t get a merge when they had the biggest number of supporters, and no one would see the part where more people oppose the merge than support it.
That’s the problem with these biased echo chambers. It only serves to reinforce your views and everyone takes it personally if someone challenges them.
wOw it’S SOOoOoOoo irOnIC
Though, the excitement of seeing Dunbarton so full of people on Merge Day was pretty cool, I have to admit. There's so much excitement going on now with the event and all of the players busting out new characters or untouched bank alts to check out the festivities! After the glitz of novelty wears off, I'm sure there won't be quite as many people on (I guesstimate a daily peak population drop of 25%-30% when the party is over), but it'll still be busier on all channels than Tarlach was on channel 1 or 7 on a good day. Let's just hope the daily gathering doesn't become impossible once everyone settles into their normal routines...
It will take time. What drives the inflation right now is that the richest folks can buy from each other and are doing so. Remember, three small servers were merged together, some items may have only showed up on one but not another so there are new things to buy for some. Since the richest people own most of the money on the server, then the common rabble basically have to wait it out. Eventually all the richest people will have all the items they want and the only customers left for them are the ones with modest wealth. At that point it becomes a waiting game between buyers and seller and who will blink first. That will bring prices down. It comes down to this: if you're poor, you wait.
