A lot of others and myself agree that Fresh start merge’s should be happen before the next big update. Merging these slowly decaying server’s before hand could bring some health back to them. Doing this will cause some player’s to come back for the time being until the update. I understand that AGS is possibly holding off on these Merger’s to see what the population looks like after the update.
While us players continue to play there are multiple issues, economy decline, companies forfeiting territories, causing a decline in crafting stations. Less frequent wars which makes PVP players stop playing. Which is the main cause of gear/weapons not being sellable etc. Mutations, regular dungeons & even OPR que’s taking forever to get into.
Merging these worlds before the update will keep the two Servers content until the patch comes. Making the economy flourish for a bit, items will sell, mutations/dungeons/opr will be played more often. War’s will be had to keep territories flipping & stable. Crafting stations will stay up to par without any unstoppable downgrades.
I think I speak for a lot when I say this may well be needed for these servers. Seer & Amarah have been seeing a steady decline in player base, and average player base sits around 500 on a daily basis.
Please consider this ASAP.
