Today my server (Caer Sidi) got merged with Thule.
We already had quite a big playerbase that is from France. This wasn’t a problem before as the rest of the playerbase was more mixed and the ratio was balanced enough to make English the main language in game. However since this merge the ratio has become unbalanced and I reckon anywhere between 50-75 percent of the players here are from France.
Obviously if most people are from 1 specific country they will speak in their native tongue to eachother. I would too. Needless to say this highly problematic for the minority that does not speak that language. It makes finding people to group/play with alot harder!
So please take this matter into account before doing a servermerge.
I’ve been saying this since SA servers got merged and we got directly fked by language choice. Hope you guys get any traction, we certainly did not got any because, well, who cares.
It’s quite simple, either they give us free transfer tokens or we stop playing. There is very little solo endgame content as far as I can tell so if everyone around me speaks french and I don’t then I will have a very hard time getting into groups. Inevitably, I will stop playing.
Furthermore, I will not pay for a transfer because I have no guarantee these dumb decisions will not happen on the next server I move to. What if AGS decides to make fresh start servers again for Christmas or do some more random merges that make the next server unplayable for me? No thanks, you tricked me once into buying the game and I waited for a year before giving it a try because I didn’t want to hate it like other people. I’m not stupid to give you money for server transfers to fix a problem that YOU caused.
