That. Mine it's 7 months old with a merge up and it's very active & fun. Merges come quick nowadays & we are 3 active groups competing for gnw at this moment. Convos and plunders going all the time, no need to feel underpowered at an older server which isn't fun at all.

mine was at month 4th, i have to say at that point we need it one but it came at the right time and now 3 more months have passed and we have plenty people active. But ya as @Raikiri said above me every 2-3 weeks they merge some so yours might come even quicker maybe at month 3 which we didn't actually need in my server (it was that last month when people started quitting don't know why), but ofc all servers are different. If you had an old account which you played for long (for me 3months or 4 is good length), go back there, thats a lot of work done, but think that now power comes easier than long ago so you might be underpowered at your level. If no good account i will go to a newer server, they are not dead at all as people in old servers say they are, ofc they are not like when the game launched but they are active enough.
