• Here is my story...
  
  GNW:
  Before merge - my group split into 2 so everyone get free bags.
  After merge - groups quickly merged into each other.. it was down to just 3 groups within 3 weeks, and now, 5 weeks later, back to just 2 groups.
  
  Plunder:
  Before merge - never happens due to lack of players.
  After merge - no plunders a month after merge. The players who remained do not want to drive away more ppl.
  
  Sage:
  Before merge - zero sage in over 3 months, due to lack of players.
  After merge - nice sages for a month, then cross server came. Back to effective no sages with cross server due to absolutely broken matchmaking in the giant LA bracket. Only 2 players has ever gotten advanced refines x5 in the entire merged server.
  
  ------------------------
  
  5 weeks after the merge, I can honestly say that things did not improve much, if any. It is pretty much the same thing as before the merge, except with a handful of extra souls (counted on one hand) to talk to.
