Server merger?

Veteran · 2003-09-17, 06:56 PM

I was on Konried earlier this morning and there were 23 TR logged on. 23. Ouch.

Do you favor the idea of merging Emerald and Konried into a new server, and Markov and Johari into a new server, and then creating a couple servers restricted to just 56k users?

I like the idea. If you don't, please don't kick my ass over it, I just felt like posting a poll.

I'm curious how you got that figure.

Well shit, they could all be in the same outfit!!

I did a /who tr and instead of truncating the results at 25, it stopped at #23.

Ouch.

Well, I think that the whole server merging thing would be great and all, but what are they going to do about people who have the same name on different servers.

I guarintee (I know spelling is FUBAR) that there is someone on every server with the name h4x0r.

I still can't quite figure out what they would do about that...

Other than that problem, I'd be all for merging servers

The reason they haven't done it yet, is because they can't. I talked with a dev about it once, and he said they don't have the ability to do so. I'm sure they're hoping enough people will leave a couple servers so that they can close them and just start all new people on emerald or whereever.

Here's a thought:
Allow character transfers from the low population servers to a high population server.

They did it in DAoC for the test server and first PvP server. You may have to decide if you want to delete your characters on one server in order to not have empire conflictions on an account, but I think there are enough servers that even if you have characters on every empire, there is a server that you haven't played on or don't have any seriouse charaters.

I doubt they would close a server without compensating the players whose characters were deleted as a result. It would inevitably generate mass cancellations and much ill-will, neither of which the game should suffer.

So if you do a /who tr you will see how many tr are on?

good thing im on the one people prefer on west coast most - Markov i think but i dont think anyones taken my name and imkeeping it! i think they should merge tho

Do a /who tr, vs nc etc.....list stops at 25 for each empire....Also /who teams gives world % of players from each empire all somewhat helpful.
