Hey, just answered your topic too!
They did merge cross-worldsets before, and i think we both agree that they need to do that again.
Only players on dead servers can know how bad it is actually there.

Yep. I hope they do. Otherwise, it’s hopeless since the current same world set merges are not enough to keep the servers alive.

Anything from Dev team would be good on this topic.
The team is aware of severs needing to be merged, actually just spoke to them this past week about it. I can gather some more feedback from this topic to hopefully help them prioritize it.

Hi I know this thread is about EU servers but thought it would be better to talk about AP servers in the same thread as it’s the same issue. AP servers need a merge too. Especially Lerna server. We barely get anyone now on the server.
Absolutely, the thoughts behind server merges is for every area. No worries!
Hi Shadow - thanks for the communication. I am on a low pop server and one benefit is it encourages cooperation and a community. The major problems are staffing invasions and OPR is nonexistent - much to the regret of many of us. Over time, the server pop continues to erode as people throw in the towel and move to a higher pop server.
I encourage mergers asap to maintain the community and friendships that have grown on many low pop servers - people can move as a group rather than leaving the rest behind. Please give us a definite schedule for the next merger so that people can plan ahead.

imo you not only need to merge servers, you need to purge them as well.
people who have not logged in for more than 30 days should be moved to a ‘purgatory’ server and giving a free transfer token on login
right now you seem to be hesitant to merge servers because people might come back and overload the servers, this would solve the problem.
than you need to implement rules how and when a server is merged
like dropping below 800 peak players for 7 days in a row → merge with server around 800-1000 peak players
queue for 2 days in a row, lock server for 3 days.
make transfer tokens (and faction swap) buyable via ingame money (like 100k) and real life money, with a max cooldown of like 30 days.
start optimizing the resources for 1500+ servers and work on increasing server cap by moving stuff like wars, opr, dungeons and maybe even cities to separate server instances.
500 people idling in windsward should not affect the performance during wars, like it does now.
(this would be the first step towards cross server activities as well)
these changes would break the death spiral imo
single transfer token and merges don’t fix anything, you need a working system not a bandaid
50 peak servers are not acceptable and you honestly should feel ashamed and apologize to players who are stuck on dead servers for month now.
no transfer Tokens there are so many Servers how Bug users have so much money you will destroy every low pop Server. They come to a low pop Server with millions of Gold. Buy everything and Go back to there Server and sell everything there. Need a Merg but noch transfer…
I think we need a Global opr. And a Merge if there is a Server how cant hold the Citys …
low pop servers shouldn’t exist in the first place and if it costs 200k to transfer and you can have 500k, how could you possibly make money like that? and even if it profitable they could only do it every 30-60days

you can transfer with your company. So you have no 500k block. My 2nd Char is on a Server where you can buy Luck Trophys for 10k … if you bring one of these Chars (100 or more Luck Trohys duped) to a low pop Server you can sell them and buy Azomdium with this Azmodium you can transfer into a High Pop Server and grab all money out of the Market…
merges are with companies tokens are without. the market would stabilize and keeping dead servers around because of a duped items or someone who wants to make a profit with a 30 day cooldown is insanity
you could although connect the markets across the region tbh
Well, it has been 50 days that we are UNABLE TO THE PLAY GAME
Can you finally do something about it right now? There is NO REASON to not merge these servers.
- You waited to see if people will come back with good update? They didnt
- You waited to see if people trying game when its free fill servers? They didnt
Take it from returning player perspective (i have seen these happen A LOT) :
- Player join server and see nobody is there anymore, towns used to be full on Niflheim
- Player then type in chat that game is dead
- Player just leave and unistall game again
- Not everyone knows about transfer tokens so you just lost a returning player
I really hope that you dont think this rabbit event will bring back old players.
I get it you wanted to make sure that servers will not be overfilled with players. Now you see thats not a case. In end of the day WE JUST WANT TO PLAY A GAME.
I dont even think you understand how frustrating it is to play on dead server so let me tell you.
- You want to craft something? Well, you cant, towns are destroyed
- You want to win invasion? You cant, there are not that many people to defend
- You want to buy something from trading post? You cant, because trading post is empty
- You want to play some OPR? You cant because there are not players to play with
- You want to have some wars? You dont have anyone to war against
- You want to play dungeon? You cant, because you wont find group for almost whole day
- You want to have some open world pvp? No way, i almost forget it exists
- You want to go for chest run? Well, you can try solo it
- You want to do some arenas? You cant find people for that
Now seriously, would you have fun playing new world without these features?
We cant do any of this for 50 days now.
At this point i am not sure whats up with you, do you think we are having fun on empty servers?
Servers merges should have been done MONTH ago!
