    Pet names and player names need to be on different indexes.

    The servers could handle it fine; there were more people on each individual server 7 years ago than all four servers combined have now. And frankly, since each server has a different "market" channel we wouldn't even need more channels, you'd just have four that are semi-full instead of one.

    Still probably never going to happen, though, because </effort>.

    I haven't really partaken in this discussion much, so I'm uninformed.

    But what consequences would WE get for server merges and name changes, that Korea isn't getting?

    @TNinja ~ To begin with... ~ Immense Lag like never before. You think you lag now? Ha.

    That's more of a could than a would.

    South Korea's Super Fast Lightning Speed Network only exists because their entire country is 7 times smaller than the State of Texas.

    @Hardmuscle
    What would the difference be?
    We already are dealing with our current speed with our current country size and server size.
    How would making our existing servers all the same group, or 2 groups instead of 4, affect lag in any drastic way, negative or positive?

    How could you know for sure that lag would increase drastically anyways?
    Aren't you just guessing that that would be the case?

    Wouldn't a combination like Alexina + Tarlach have 14 channels-worth of space?
    They wouldn't just get rid of the extras and still stick the server with 7 channels.

    @Iyasenu ~ Granted. If we have the same amount of channels, the lag shouldn't be any greater (if the channel upgrade also comes with a storage and processor upgrade to meet the memory demand), but then neither would the population appear to be either. We'd be right back to where we are now and everyone would live on 1 channel (I'm guessing it'd the one channel on each server most people can't log into, because it's always butt to butt full). This is where "merging the servers" or "not merging the servers" meets head to head ... because either direction would appear the same visually.. :)

    Well, maybe everyone would live on 1 or 2 channels.
    That's a guess, too, because back in the day when we were butting up against [Full] on the main market channel, we suddenly developed a 2nd one.
    Like an overflow market channel.
    At least until the population decreased.

    So we'd be right back where we are now... except there's new groups of people meeting and playing together with each other. Or creating drama, ya'know whatever.

    It'd almost be as good as there being a sudden influx of brand new players.
    Except they're old.

    Of course it would be better to have new people fill up the servers (every server, not just Big Girl Alexina) and help counter this stagnation, rather than smooshing the small groups into bigger groups so they might feel less barren and lonely, but...

    But, I don't know.

    Then all we'd need is a "Hot!!" tag on the other servers.
    Then we could watch as all the players roll in, muwahahahaha.

    haha...ha!?

    Or just get rid of the hot tag altogether and not show population levels. Do it Nexon. :)
