When the servers went live an hour early, it was godly. No one was on and everything was sooo damn smooth and fast.

But son as people logged it in got back to its crappy self, and with a merge it will be back how it was on release, sluggy!
you don't want a server merge because you are on one of the populated servers. how about the rest of us that are on the lower servers? karnak broke 312 during jp prime time today and hovers near 200 during na prime time. i know many of us leave our characters afk all day whether we are playing or not. if you figure even only 20 people do this(it's more on here because we try to give the looks of people online) that's 180-290 people on and actually playing.

if you added karnak's na primetime and the jp primetimes together they would be less than the number besaid had yesterday for just na players. figure our na primetime numbers were 200 and jp primetime was 312 that's only 500 players on during the course of an entire day. that, my friend, is quite dead.

i understand you mention that it would be laggy if they merged all servers into one, but i really doubt that even if they merged every server into a single server that we would have as many players as each server had when the game launched. i haven't seen anyone saying we needed to combine them down that bad, but we could either merge these small servers into larger ones or even combine the low servers to form a larger one.

the example would be last night selbina boasted a 600+ member online while karnak was at 202 and melmond was at 248. even if you merged melmond and karnak together you would only have just over 400 people online. that combined would be around 66% of what selbina had. if you merged those 2 servers and another small server together it would give them around the same number of people that a larger server had. it would not effect the larger servers at all, but would drastically increase the playing experience of the people on those 3 smaller severs.

this would help out the people on the smaller servers as well as save some of the funds se is having to spend on those additional servers they are getting rid of on 2.0 anyways.
