    I hope we are compensated for:
    1) Lost premium/VIP time
    2) Lost style tab time
    3) Lost extra weapons slot time
    4) Lost homestead mining permit time
    5) any other such things that I can't think of at the moment. (Help me out here folks)

    I guess you all would rather have a busted game, im sure you will be fine.

    If we are compensated then yep we will be fine. Fixing the game and compensating us for this unforeseen issue taking longer than they expected are not mutually exclusive things. Yes we want it fixed and that doesn't precluded our being compensated for the down-time.

    But having a second merge would cause absolute chaos.

    Lag is channel dependant. You don't have to go to the fullest channels to pursue lag sensitive activities. Window shopping in Dunby square is a lag independent activity. If they merged Alexina in they would add even more channels. For those people that just need to be where all the action is then a full server merge will give you all the action you want and a lot more. Someone saying "I wanna be where all the action is, but I don't want that much action to be there and I don't want anyone else to have it either" just doesn't make sense.

    But we have enough action, and alexina has enough action, Alexina population Lows are the 3 servers that merged previous population highs, I think alexina is missing the point we didn't merge because it would add more to the fun we merged because our servers were dead, especially tarlach. you couldn't run anything because there was never enough people around actively doing stuff. all this merge did was put us on equal footing with alexina's population and they think they need to jump in on the "fun" it's not fun to have to be saved. it was just something that was necessary.

    No we are not missing the point. The point is we want to be united with our brethren too. Telling us to go make a new character is not good enough or the same thing. Alexina being supposedly "good enough" is beside the point. If some folks have lag problems then let them play on a less popular channel. A less popular channel on Alexina is the same as a less popular channel on a combined server. The difference is that those who want to could party up with their Naowegian and Alexinan friends, while the lag people can play on an emptier channel.

    My theory why Nao exploded is the same reason why Alexina became overpopulated in the beginning; everyone wants to see what the hype was all about.
    Not only that this merge brought about a lot of attention it may have cause old players to come back and current players to migrate to Nao or the older servers before the merge happened.
    Since it is the summer break people will take advantage of the holidays and vacation period to go back to the game or their old accounts, or make new accounts. Once the "honeymoon period" or when the hype fizzles out, Nao may decrease in population once again.
    Alexina has became a lot less populated after the merge, proving one thing, some have migrate and some may have made accounts just to see what Nao is like, just like when Alexina first started long ago.

    That is some of it but the numbers shift is too great to be explained by Alexinans jumping ship. The difference is Mari/Ruairi/Tarlach folks coming back to the now energized server they lacked causing them to quit in the first place. Overall, active sessions is greater than before.

    And we want to make that high ground even higher, and join you there.

    I think they should just put **NEW** on Nao and delete the Alexina server so we don't have this same thread in every section reposted every 10 minutes. Everyone is happy that way, no nameclash disaster part 2, and one "megaserver" just run 20x ap and 256x training for a month and hand out pre-enchanted clashing+meteoroid (on all pieces) saint guardian sets and divine blades to all new characters and 50 free bone dragons, Mirs, and Ceranus then no one will complain about their characters being deleted from Alexina either.
    This post is satire.

    Oh you got me too; dagnabbit!.

  • Older players are being unappreciated

    Training pots shouldn't be an excuse to be lazy though, but it does allow the lazy to get by training without going through all the difficulties others had to do so in the past.

    There's no rules here; if you wanna be "lazy" be lazy. It takes "work" to get training seals too, don't forget. I used training seals to do a couple ranks of cooking because I flat out did not want to run the cooking dungeon 110 times, and I'm totally okay with that
