At the moment we are merging servers that are experiencing a lot of problems with activity or servers that are unable to do events such as Sage World or GNW. So if your server is active and you are able to do GNW or any other event (you are able to kill Nine tails), most likely your server won't appear on our list.

Are any new merges gonna happen soon? I mean after the GNW on saturday?

Hello again,

Question, Wouldn't you want to start merging before things get out of hand and the problem gets worse and worse and becomes a fully dead server.
138 (My server) Has never been able to kill Nine tails, we recently have missed a Sage World and the ones we have been doing is small groups.

Three groups show up to GNW. One sends maybe 1-2 people or even none at all, and the other group has enough people to show up maybe six people tops.

So the server I am on is on the downward slope and so why not do preventative merging before things get really bad?

Also why are you unable to answer the questions? Why are we left in the dark

cant do preventative merging when they still have reactive merging to do.

they cant answer questions either because they dont have the answers to give or are told not to answer them by their higher ups

That is why we are picking servers like this and we will eventually merge them. But it takes some time so please be patient.

And I do not really think you are left in the dark. We are sharing as much info as possible with everyone.

If you're picking servers like this (which are most likely newer servers), why are you still creating even newer servers? I feel the players in the middle might get the short end of the * here. While earlier servers (that opened when game was released) have more players and then now merging newer servers together because of no players (which is due to making like 5 new servers a week). Now the players in the middle of these servers will have to wait forever to see more players?

The game is getting really boring with only have 3 groups on a server to do GNW. I feel this is the case for most servers in the middle too. Obviously even worse for the newer servers but us players in the middle have endured not killing ninetails for awhile until we leveled up to kill him. We have endured only 2-3 groups for GNW, 10-30 people for sage, waiting 35+ mins in arena, etc. This part of the game is ruining the fun parts of the game because you want to play with lots of players but its almost impossible with answers like this, making us think we will never see more people to play with.

Completely agree on this.

As a groupleader I've been able to keep people from leaving the game, by telling them the server merge could be coming any moment. I've had to break up my group in two, deal with a lot of * because of it, help facilitate group merges, deal with tons of drama, out of the 3 months our server is up we stopped recruiting for just over 2 months, to be able to barely keep S18 competitive. I'm sorry, but I hope you can imagine how Daiske's statement is infuriating A LOT OF P2P and F2P players.

If you are currently only looking at merging servers, for the lowest populated servers, you are in a way dealing with less than half of the problem. The devs are reactive instead of pro-active.

Devs, for a lot of players, the immediate server merge is the only thing that keeps them playing.

So please change your poorly chosen method of going about server merges, it's absolute ludacris.

Well this is going to be one of the few times I am going to stand by with the mods on this one.

Nowhere did they say they were only going to merge one server and only one server. They could merge 3-4 servers together.

If they merge 3-4 servers together I suppose we will see healthy competition and the like. So if they merge 3-4 servers into 3-4 servers that solves a lot of problems and then every month they merge they repeat the process every two weeks and that more or less solves the issue. They can make all the new servers while keeping people together.

He was talking about proactive treatment of the server and not reactive. I give credit to the mods where credit is due in my opinion. And while I may not agree with not answering of the questions earlier. Nothing they have stated shows they are showing a reactive rather than proactive. This current server merge was 2 dead servers pretty much and a guinea pig test run.

.

I hate repeating myself as you probably skipped over my post and response from Daiske

Daiske wrote "That is why we are picking servers like this and we will eventually merge them. But it takes some time so please be patient." And I explained how my server wasn't dead but was on the path of dying.

So they will merge servers like this. Nowhere is it stated they will merge only one at a time with only one server.

The point isn't whether or not the server merges are coming, eventually all servers will be merged.

What's just very unexpected and highly questionable, is that there is a list made in terms of "priority", where they first merge servers who are close to dead. And thereby choosing to delay the server merges for the "mid servers", putting aside the vast majority of the time spending/money spending member base, who have been playing and waiting for the server merge to finally come.
Even on the forums, the majority of people that have been asking for server merges, are those that are on the mid server, the mid-servers who are close to dying.

And why should we prioritise servers who are much better off than other servers?
If there is a wide-spread problem, the most logical decision is to first solve it where the problem hits hardest.
Everyone wants the merge, obviously, but there's only so much there can be done at a time.

But why take 2 dead servers and mash them together? ... why not merge 2 mid servers , throw the really dying ones in with the merge as well... EVERYONE IS HAPPY... HAPPY PEOPLE SPEND MONEY...JS. If u can merge 2 , then you should be able to merge 4.

Why create a list of servers who are dead, merge the dead servers and advise us that servers who aren't dead, but barely alive, aren't being put on that list and therefore have no scheduled server merge?

It's a wide-spread problem, caused by having created too many servers.
Where does it hit the hardest ? Definitely not on the dead servers, it's the servers where there is a bigger number of players, who are all affected by their server being near dead.

The only area where i am dissapointed is that they have only done 2 server merge....U guys release 4-5 server every week and then can't do more then 2 servers at a time? Was there really only those 2 servers in a rush for server merge? Im positive all servers above 50 are having a hardtime with any activity. I'm almost positive that most servers have 2 groups for GNW or 3 casue they split 1 group to make a 3rd. Sage battle probly has from 10-18 people, 9 tails hasnt died yet also. I understand u guys might say it takes time etc and that is fine, but cmon man stop releasing 4-5 new servers per week.... Release 1 every month and at the start of the month so they c*so get the login ninja 3 star if they play every day. Mods are only doing that they can casue they aren't devs i get that. Can u guys just tell the dev's to slow down on new server's casue it doesnt make sense right now?

Like i dont mind waiting, but the longer u guys wait the more players u will be losing out on...wich in the long run doesnt help u guys either. In the past 3 weeks our group was number 1 from the start of server and now we went down to number 2 because people just stop playing. This game has so much potential and is extrmely fun. With all the sucess china has on this game u would think that The dev's would be alot quicker to solves problems that probly occured over there before they even happen here no?

That is simple, if there was a problem then they would have less problems on their hands. It is like testing on mice. Any responsible person doesn't rush to human testing.

I understand the first 2 were guinea pigs .. but from here on out ( now that they know how to do it and what to expect) they can make everyone happy just doing the way i described. again .. just a thought

Can we please receive some information on servers that aren't dead but are low-population?
What about servers that do not necessarily experience a lot problems with activity + events: do we get merges as well in the upcoming months? We miss having a populated server. Thanks for your help :) fighting! This post was last edited by rhu***@gmail.com at 2016-11-24 11:39
