1 word: money

I'm from s29, s22 and s16 are in the same crap state. We have similiar powers (s16 and s22 being closer, but s29 aint scared!). It would be great if you guys could just go ahead and merge us

Hoping to get S140 added to the list. We're able to do 9 tails easily enough, but the pvp events are getting pretty stale.

Sage world gets around 30 people, half of which are afk/alts.
Matsuri... if you're not finished within the first 20mins you run out of opponents.
Arena wait times can be horrible.
Plunder encounters are getting pretty rare.
GNW we have 3 groups that qualify, 1 group struggles to get half a dozen players. The other 2 groups usually have 15-20 players.

Our server is in better shape than a lot of the other ones mentioned, but we are losing people every week. It would be great if we don't have to wait for the server to die before we get a merge.

Sounds like server 109 :( only we're down to 3 groups attending GNW... it's causing a huge increase of losing interest...

All noted on my list.
For those of you constantly complaining about new servers being opened, both players and mods alike have addressed the topic many times already.
You won't receive a response from me the next time you decide to do this.

Can you link an example? I myself have never read an honest answer as to why theres 6 servers a week being opened when servers are in the state they're in. I apologize if this is an inconvenience, just curious as to whether there ever has been a legit answer to this other than money money money

Money is a legit answer. New servers also allow for increased population retention of those who would quit because they arent at the top. Giving them a chance to be "the best" on a new server retains them with the eventuality that they would be thrown back into a larger populous once merges happen but this time they have more incentive to stay even if they arent on top.

Yeah i get ya, but it feels like they just keep doing all these servers for just money. people play old servers and get discouraged cuz their power isnt as high as theyd like so then they jump to the newest one and buy medals and load up on ingots to start the cycle all over again. It just seem extremely money hungry on oasgames part.

Well put it this way, if there was no demand they would slow down/stop but if you look at new servers they do get a lot of traffic to start with. Also it's not just failed p2w it's actual new players as well who don't want to start on a server with everyone level 70-80 already.

I wouldn't necessarily call it money hungry. Its just the standard business model for games like this, and tbh I've seen sooooo much worse in years in terms of ROI for recharging. Considering we've yet to receive the truly significant updates (2.0), things like cross-server fights and increasing the rate of server merges would go along way to help.

not failed p2w, but free players who drop in power and decide to join a new server and buy a medal to start the cycle over yet again. And it takes about 2 months to get to the 70-80 range, never said they had to wait that long for new servers. But come on, 6-9 a week? at least 2 a week in each time zone, ya cant deny thats a bit ridiculous. I mean just look at the server names lol they're using jutsus and puppets now. How much longer before they run out and have to just start naming servers after the voice actors or others listed in the credits? Theres no way you can honestly expect to populate when you're opening up servers that fast. This post was last edited by cheese_crater at 2016-12-22 02:28

Hello,
Just out of curiosity, I'd like to read those threads where this 'new server opening' has been discussed.

Been looking for a long time for a detailed discussion on this topic, but never found one. Or, maybe I missed. If you or anyone would be so kind to point me to a few of such threads, that would be greatly appreciated.

No spite or anything, just looking for an honest, logic-based discussion on this topic, thats all.
Thanks in advance. Hope someone will reply with some links.

There was one in the few replies right before yours.

S302 - Shadow Clone #237 opening!

That I saw.

However, I'm going to quote Yuusuke's post here:
''For those of you constantly complaining about new servers being opened, both players and mods alike have addressed the topic many times already.''
I am just curious about this many time thing. All I remember reading was how others were angry/upset and mocking on all those new server opening threads and how no mods replied on those (except closing all those new server opening announcement threads).

So, was curious if I missed any interesting threads. And, still hoping for those threads where this issuse has been addressed, just one of those 'many times' will do.

Thank you.

I cant remember this being discussed at all , usually what happened they d open a thread about new servers every 3 days players start complaining then thread gets locked and there was 1 post by mod saying how there is a super secret special reason why they are opening more servers and its not what you think and they wont tell you what it is. I wouldnt call that discussion more like baiting. This post was last edited by Belerephon at 2016-12-22 04:06

Yuusuke was referring to the people in this thread complaining about new servers being opened and myself along with others explained why new servers open. That reason is simple if you look at it from a business perspective. Basically new players might be intimidated to join a server that has been around awhile and players with more experience who aren't doing as well as they would like go to the new server so they can be in the position they desire. The experienced player who wants a top position tends to use money and knowledge to gain the top spot. Simply put the new server appeals to them because they know what they're doing now as opposed to when they first started. Then basically new servers make money. OasGames is a business after all it only makes sense to want to make more money they still support all the servers while opening new ones so it could much worse then people think. :) In fact if OasGames wanted to they could close an old server and force players to join a new one which would be bad business which why they haven't done so before. :P This post was last edited by 113***@google at 2016-12-22 06:00

S112 - We would like to be merged with 3 meybe 4 UK servers ( those servers should have majority of players between 25 000 - 30 000 power) because at the moment we have few pay to win players over 35 000 power, and yet one of them dropped the game, and others like 20 active strong players which have 2800-31000 power, starting thinking about quitting server or game, because our server is dead like fu*k , top players using 2-10 multiple accounts in server to kill ninetails, without em we usually wont succeed. we drastically need merge not only because we are inactive server, but because of imcompetetiveness, our strongest players at 30 000 power stopped even trying. :) I do not know which servers would be the best for merging, But I do know, we really need it, and probably one of those highier seed UK servers like from S180 or sth, where people still around 25 000 power. peace.

still waiting for S156 Katsuyu | NY to be merged with somebody else. Havent had a sage battle in about a week and a half at this point. Also Down to 2 groups for GNW at the most.

That's still a new server. I'm in Server 109 and still waiting on a merge so be patient.
