Call for Official Poll/Petition for a Server Merge?

They'd never know about it unless it was broadcast in-game

Then they could do that, as a login message, and point to the poll on the website.

Getting everyone to pay to move to Asura is not the answer.

But, it actually is, though I wish it weren't. Server merges were necessary YEARS ago and they still aren't here... It's sad that we as players have to rectify this issue ourselves (by throwing money at it, no doubt), but it really is the solution right now.

There are 16 servers. Out of 16, 2 of them are considered to NOT be low population. I'm not sure why that extreme imbalance isn't incentive enough to at least merge SOME servers. But it apparently isn't. We've been asking for merges for years. I'm not going to tell you to stop asking for em, but myself and others will tell you that we wish we had gone ahead and bit the bullet years ago.

And you'd be surprised by how many friends/LSmates who claim they won't or don't want to move quickly change their minds once they see you did it yourself.

I think it's a fair request to make, asking for an in game login message directing players to an official poll on their website, considering their last official statement on the server merge issue asked for a majority of players to support such an action and that is simply impossible on this or any other forum.

I'm all for server merges, whether it's just combining low population servers or going a more large scale route, but like others have said, I'd suggest anyone growing tired of their server's inactivity bite the bullet and transfer over to Asura. The dev team clearly doesn't think the situation is dire enough to warrant merges yet and their last official word on the issue should tell you all you need to know.
