Are we getting a server merge soon?

[Jin_Uzuki]

I don't have a LS. I run with 3 different groups, who are all mish mash people from different linkshells, time zones, and even people who don't speak English.
The fact of the mater is, is sylph is a server where everyone knows everyone.
I'm not in the biggest Linkshells on the server, yet I'm so frequently asked for the bases of which they do their content on.

You know, "a group of people that does thing together and know each" it's basically what a LS is, uh.

Linkshells sadly DO explode on server merges. I was on Sylph on the Sylph fairy merge. All the Fairy Linkshells got destroyed on the merge, sylph at the time, was a small server, largely consisting of solo players, with the few end-game players. Yet even then most people knew eachother, and this was back when server populations where standing at 1k plus.

Well, I take it back. Though I'm not sure why adding some 1000 players to the game would make all the LS suddenly die.

Also did you know sylph has a large korean/Arabic community? Yeah, thats a thing. Server merge would destroy that. And very little safety they find on our server. (Because they do go around as a group)

... why would adding, say, 1000 players to a server destroy anything?

Also, using "large" on a server with 600 ppl online during peak hour... hum.

I don't think you understand the true genuine scale of everyone knows everyone. Even 2 years ago, back when shouts where more prominent, there was a atmostphere of "Do you know this guy? Is he any good", this was back when AA HTBs where the hardest content in the game.

Heck, now that I think about it, during RoV "Return Campaign" Sylph managed to over 1,200 players during peak hours. Basically double of what we have now.

Uhuh...

Server merging small servers like sylph 100% will destroy the stability many players like me have, i know so SO many people who would be forced to get into linkshells to start doing content again, simply because of a server merge.

... and that's a problem why? You can even have 2 LS now. Aren't you doing it already? Banding with the same 3 groups over and over to do content?

Are you sure you wouldn't rather just play on a private server or something?
