You've given no reasons why it's wrong. I already told you being left-out of the hype wasn't a reason to merge. I also explained that a having a single server is one step closer to a dead game, using Dragon Nest as a prime example.

Some people just don't have common sense


Now as we can clearly see from this image the hype is dying down, as predicted.

That screenshot was taken at the games deadest hours after Nao's channel 1 had just gotten nuked, if you refer to my comment talking about the events that have statistics we can actually measure and use to judge server activity you'd see that the difference is still pretty massive.

Now that we've settled down and the people who temporarily returned for the hype have gotten bored, the two populations do look quite similar.

Are we done with the merge panic and hasty conclusions yet?

Using the balloon event to give a decent idea of server activity, as of this second Nao is sitting on 17570 full balloons while Alexina only has 8967 full balloons. I'm willing to say that's a better guide than the population meters shown there.

EDIT: Also, didn't Nao's channel 1 get nuked earlier?
Another EDIT: Looking at the instant prize event too, Nao's gold/coin entries are at 0/2 1/3, 4/5 7/7, and 29/100 103/200 while Alexina's at 0/2 0/3, 0/5 5/7, and 11/100 32/200.

Really. We endured it for years. It just got worse and worse with each passing year. You guys gloated and bragged and shot down all of our comments and concerns about the other servers, over and over I pleaded with you guys to STOP. Then even stated multiple times that you never wanted a merge especially with us plebeians. My my how the tables have turned. While I discouraged a return of what you dealt us for years you have to admit karma does come into play here.

The reality is that you will have to endure what we had to for at least several years. The current staff doesn't want to mediate or deal with this again for a long time, especially with the deadlines and schedules. The implications of their decisions will begot even more drama if another server merge is implemented even remotely "soon".

Go ahead and crusade like we did, but you're in for a long fight. I suggest you get comfy and manage like we did till then.

Do you like being mad? I can't think of one person that would say they didn't want a merge specifically because they didn't want to be around "you plebeians", and I can't think of anyone that shot down concerns of your dead servers either. Some people might not have wanted alexina merged but I don't know why those same people would be aggressively against the other servers merging. A while back some people thought it would have been merged like - top server and bottom server as one - middle two servers as one. That probably would have made the servers even, but instead they merged the 3 bottom servers and made Nao twice as big as alexina.

In my opinion, even though I never interact with anyone really and just play by myself, a merge of all four would have been better. It's an MMO after all, more people makes for more activity, and with a game as small as mabi it can make a pretty big difference if a bunch of people go to one server or the other.

Nope, But i can tell either way alexina is barely dead 5 shop in dunby square? you guys must be blessed compared to our servers premerg, u might've seen 5 shop in ch 1 dunby during the whole month in dunby, you may have seen 5 shops in Belvast! on a good week. partys? what partys ;D, and if you needed 2 other people for your daily sms have fun waiting for a few hours and never never never running girg raids because nobody was ever there. you don't know dead, stop acting like you know what a dead server, Save the whales, because Alexina is doing fine.

Alexina's doing a little less than fine but still, what's so bad about wanting it to do better?
