Are we getting a server merge soon?

[Diavolo]

I heard Asura has 1k-1.5k on average. Also another point is..no one wants to come play with me when they ask how many people are online and I keep telling them 200ish lol.

Yeah, I dealt with some of that. Not everyone is willing to spend $18 to move on top of the $13 to return to a game that has changed drastically since they last played, so they come back to wither away on quiet servers, frustrated that they can't overcome certain hurdles and quit out of frustration. Not much hope in bringing them back after that.

The last two years in August they had a "Discount campaign" in which the transfer fee was half price> $9. I'm hoping they at least offer that again this year, If they don't announce a merge real soon. Tired of most things I put in the AH not selling.

per to the OP, Sylph is now 151 to 350 total players.

we were told S.E would start to look into a server merge in April. Running into August and still no Update.

Sylph til I DIE. however

the problem now is that everyone is getting restless and just moving in groups to other servers(asura). it is snowballing.

first time in 13 years ive considered moving. its now critical for the life of this server and game please s.e do or at least say something.


p.s. at this point i would be a fan of 3 regional/playtime based servers and end this topic.

NA peak player numbers are not total population, also I have no idea why you're asking them to reply to this. You know they won't.

There is a far greater chance they will close the game down than do a merge. They aren't even interested in trying to add micro-transactions which shows they have given up on even trying to make the game more profitable. I would be amazed if the game has more than a couple of years left in it.

Move to Asura or just suck it up, merges aren't worth doing at this point.

i been playing over a decade i know what and when are peak times for each region/time zone. regardless there should be more ppl to play with period.

playtime dont differ that much on different servers anyway. its not like a merge will bring 1000 ppl who all play at the same time... be logical.

ok so your opinion is "its not worth it". fine. however my point was that s.e needs to respond like they said they would. so i can make a decision.

micro-transactions or not, s.e has already said they will keep the game up until there is player interest. they have options and enough ppl playing for 3-5 servers. they will server merge before they fully quit updating. its just a matter of when.

even so ... when that happens i still give it a a few years to die. which is enough for me.

so im just waiting for s.e to make an announcement on the subject. they want to evaluate and come to a conclusion. i just dont want it to be too late where we are much worse off than we are now.

I loathe how people talk about the Grandeur of Asura, as if it's doing fine and the others failing.

It's only that people quit or bandwagon to Asura. It's like the fat guy at the table eating off everyone else's plate.

More than likely, Reddit saved Asura.

I don't know about fine, but it's alive and kicking which is more than I can say for the server I came from.

I transferred to Asura end of March........omg I forgot what it is like to see people moving around, shouting for parties, stuff actually sells on the AH. All levels of people, not just 99+s and mules

All I can say is that it gets frustrating trying to find a camp to XP in in Garlaige and Crawlers' Next. They are always packed...

A good kind of frustrating

This is why I'd hate to be an mmorpg developer.

If they do merges the complaints will change from "do merges" to "I LOST THE NAME I HAD SINCE BETA!" or "I can't get XP, there are too many people" "I can't do content, there are too many people!"

Just look at all the complaints after ambuscade, people want to be surrounded by others...until those other people get in their way. Then it's not cool!
