It's not they are going to wipe the 50% of the servers, but as they seem to be so interested lately about what people think about the game they should consider stop making servers until all of them have been merged.

I've been playing in S336 for almost 2 months, now lvl 72 and no sage battlefields, no plunder, no missions exchange, nobody talks, etc.
And don't even think about starting in an old server because it will be almost impossible to grow up well.
