The weekly server merge thread
Comments
The problem is we have been vocal about this for YEARS. I have come to the conclusion they are unable to do it for whatever reasons.
And as years pass it only gets worse. Most new players still join Alexina because it just has a better population.
On Ruairi, the market/social channel is populated well enough to find a decent selection of shops, parties and cool new people to talk to. Other channels are more sparsely populated, but that can be a good thing for many activities. I think we have a good balance of being able to run into people when you want to, and having your own space when you don't.
Then there's the issue of complexity to implement something like this. It would require many man-hours and resources that would have to be re-directed from something else. I think most would agree that we'd rather have Nexon spend time and effort improving the game and growing it, rather than on downsizing, which would be no more than a race to the bottom. (And the operational savings from having less game servers would be minuscule, if measurable at all. Server hosting infrastructure is pretty automated these days.)
I mean it's clearly desirable to a lot of people if these threads are popping up every week and get pages of people agreeing it needs to be done.
Also, Nexon already knows and has the complexity figured out if other servers did a merge just fine.
STOP CLICKING THIS AND POST YOUR THOUGHT THEN.
Why you bother so much if you are tired of server merge thread, I really wonder.
But yes, try bump more on Feedback section rather than posting new one on general section.
Sorry pal, when I got my Yui it cost me an arm and a leg. I vowed I would never sell my Yui for ANYTHING. She is just too rare now. That might change when they release the new support puppets though. But even then, I would never EVER give up my Yui. She will forever become increasingly special and rare.
-pat pat-
B-Bu-But I got 4 of em so...I'm okay with it. At least it'll net me 3/4 of the fate support set. Hopefully someone will bite on that 100m bait 4 the last one.
There was a new rule. 2 per week is allowed now.
Having all 4 servers merged into a single server will hurt the game a lot more than being as it is now. It's bad enough we have issues with the service/servers as is with 4 servers, and merging certain servers and any other server together will be a major mistake. The lag issues are a big deal and over-crowding will be an issue. For instance as of this moment, looking at the chart on the wiki Alexina's market ch is 1 by the obvious looks. It's stated to be 80% full. Now lets theoretically take Alexina and merge it with Ruairi or Tarlach. You now have a market channel that has 110%~120% fullness, thus the need to split the market into 2 channels at a minimum. Overall population is at 29%~32%, but the lag will be an issue for said theoretically merged server.
ADDING channels will not solve that issue either, so the result will be a forced split for that. Next is the economy of said theoretically merged server, which will be messed up for awhile. Both servers have vast differences in price for each item and the middle price will not work right away, and users that had cheaper deals one day will then be faced with higher prices because of the merge. Sure maybe it'll be better eventually but the immediate effect on the economy will be quite obvious, and it will be painful for most.
Either way I hope we get a merge because we need it.
So your issues are;
-Economy
-Lag
-Merging all 4 servers.
My response.
-Economy will fix itself in 1-2 weeks tops.
-Adding more players will not change how laggy the game is. If Nexon decided to do a server merge the smart thing is to use a more powerful server for the newly merged ones. But even then from what I see a merge between two of the game servers wouldn't even need a more powerful server.
-I don't want all four merged either. Merge Ruairi and Tarlach, leave Mari and Alexina alone.
It's such a pain to look for collab guds. Access to other servers will help in supplying.
