If any more TR are added to Waterson I'm afraid I'd be willing to let go of the character I've spent all my $ on and start on another server

You may not have to. As server transfers are coming after that, and so are account wide unlocks.

No loss there.

Other things in this game need to be fixed to prevent the main war from being only on Indar, but merging is certainly a move in the right direction to accomplish that.

Wrong.

I play Indar because it has the best and most complex hex system and has the most variation in terrain.

I quickly lost interest in Esamir after it was launched because of the dumbed down Hex system and dreary landscape; this was whilst the continent was still very popular.

And whilst Amerish is beautiful, the Hex system is still oversimplified and a lot of the terrain has nothing in it; the idea might be to concentrate the fights but this meant that large areas of the map had nothing in them to speak of. Might as well have been designed on a map half the size. Again, I lost interest and moved back to Indar before the pop crashed.

You won't have to worry about that. Smed has said (or indicated rather, as a reply to someone with that same concern) that one of the main deciding factors for the merging is faction population, so they don't create imbalances (or make them worse, in Waterson's case).

Nope.

You are also still wrong by the way.

Not likely.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and just calk it up to too much X-files and an over active imagination.

That's your best? You gotta try harder than that.

I find this a good thing. More population on a single server is always a good thing. Bobby/MrBloodworth, troll much? Stop spamming the thread with nonsense and take it to PMs.

MrBloodworth · 2013-02-20, 01:26 PM

I'm not trolling.

People play indar because that's where the fights are. No one is going to cancel due to a que on indar. That's hyperbole. That, and the crown has become some sort of meme. Even though its one of the worst fights, but best farm. There are equivalents on the other conts that are much better bases for both attackers and defenders.

People play on Indar because BOTH a) it's where the fights are... and b) there's no real incentive to play anywhere else (ie. endgame). SOE tells us it's coming... continent locking, at the very least, is soon.

Relax. If PS2 settles down to 6, or so, servers of dedicated players... it's probably 100x more successful than PS1... nevermind just the benefits of shaking out Forgelight.

MrBloodworth · 2013-02-20, 01:32 PM

I look forward to continental locking, perhaps people will finally see that indar was literately a beta map.

Rolfski · 2013-02-20, 01:34 PM

I hope they don't merge anything into Miller. I like it as it is already.

I play on Indar because it has the most ground clutter to lose tails in. But, if I play on another continent, there's nothing to tail you. ITS A CONUNDRUM.
