I wish this would happen sooner rather than later. The test seemed to go well on PTR other than the honing stone bug that happened after but that could have been unrelated.
My server is down to about 200 people on during peak hours. We get about 2 OPR queues to actually fill per day and people aren’t flagging anymore even with the new incentives because of how unbalanced the server population is for those that remain.
I personally have not cared much but its starting to get to the point that there isn’t anything to do in the game anymore especially now that GS farms are harder, its harder to get groups to GS farm for anything. Really need server merges to happen soon to fix the health of the game. I think no amount of balancing and class changes would help the game nearly as much as doing the server merge will.
I would just transfer to a different server with my friends but one of our friends transferred from his server to be with us and because they refuse to allow more server transfers, he is now stuck on this server and essentially so are we because we don’t want to leave him behind.
I’ll keep on playing because I love this game but I just hate seeing so many people go for many different reasons, most of which could be solved by the server merges.
Have fun playing, everyone! Thanks for attending my ted talk.
