[Announcement] Server Merge & FAQ
Comments
IMO, I wasn't a big fan of the merge idea to begin with, since it solved no problems that a simple Server Transfer wouldn't have done. Honestly, Mabinogi has far bigger problems to worry about than a server merge. Such as, the prospect of being bought out by something like Disney.
I honestly thought they would do something like you mentioned for the names. Hit the alt key and you could see the server, or a small server indicator beside your name. Not literally a server at the end of your name. I feel like there has to be a better way of doing it than that. It'll definitely be a way to sell the name changes though.
Honestly, so long as it works, I really don't care if it's lazy or not. I'm fine having my server tag after my name.
I have...so many things. So little space. pls.
Seems kind of silly that someone will be able to make a new character or pet on June 3rd before the name change option is even brought online, and steal literally any name they want. There's always a lot of drama around this sort of thing with a server merge, but this is just encouraging it.
Also, why not just merge Alexina as well? Surely the servers can handle it, even if it means more channels need to be added. No offense of course, but the game isn't exactly growing anymore, not like it used to anyways. Having one server NOW rather than later will allow everything to consolidate now instead of going through this entire process a second time should the population drop so much that Nao and Alexina need to be merged.
They're trying to accomplish the merge without changing any code in the client. Appending the server name can be accomplished by running a script on the database without having Korea generate any new code. It is a solution but a bad one, even sloppy. In computer-speak this is known as a kludge. Usually kludges generate trips to your boss' office. This is a huge mess and its happening because Nexon didn't have the courage to either reject or embrace a merge entirely.
Great question.
I think nothing because spirit weapons can have the same name, I think.
Furthermore, it might be Nexon KR insisting that NA does things this way.
To a certain extent you're right, since this merge looks like it requires nothing in terms of code added to the client or altering of the database structure. All they are doing is twiddling values in the existing database to create he merge. To be sure, most of the work required is to do just that. But to make the merge, less problematic requires more.
No no no, you misunderstand, Sorath gives a very good explanation here.
Ohh i see the loophole now. Now this is messed up...
But still kinda pointless to spend real money to name snipe someone or create multiple accounts just for that. You really need to be pathetic to do that.
Don't need to spend any money if you make a new email account.
I literally already said that. "Multiple accounts". Still pathetic, because you need time and dedication for that.
It is but there are people genuinely jaded by the game, who only find joy in griefing it now. As the orange guy says: SAD.
