Well since the servers still not back up I might as well start a post that the GM's aren't particularly fond of. I've started playing ROM last September and have spent nearly £1000 on it so far which is...let me see...$1624.81 by todays rate, and I know a lot of people have spent a lot more. I believe that has earned me the right to ask GF/RW to make changes to the game that would make my gaming experience a lot better.

I mean I would gladly yield to my incompetence if I was making an outrageous demand such as p2p players gets exclusive access to certain parts of the game but I am not. This is something that has discussed in great detail in the past here and have been seen as a viable option that will greatly increase the gaming experience for the players, well for US anyways. And every time the suggestion has been turned down.

World of Warcraft has well over 200 servers/realms in US alone. And when there population started to go down Blizzard started to merge the servers. Granted they did it slowly and one at a time, merging 2 servers with mid lvl population to make a well populated one, or merging 2-3 low populated ones to get the same results. They only did one at time but there players were willing to wait, because Blizzard was working towards the suggestion that the players wanted and one that would make the game play better.

Now I have seen GM's saying that it can't be done for ROM because of too much conflicts, issues etc etc. But if Blizzard can do it with there vast number of servers why can't you do it with your mere 6? I mean like what, are the game developers/programmers working for GF/RW are of a lower calibre then those that works for Blizzard? Do you only hire the rejects that no one else wants? Because Blizzard can do it with WoW then there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to do with ROM because we all know that ROM is more or less a clone of WoW (granted I do enjoy playing ROM more).

Well, I see a couple problems with what you're saying.... First off, RoM isn't WoW, and i think WoW is a bigger game than RoM. Not to mention that you are required to pay to play in WoW after lvl 20 (unless my understanding is off on that), while RoM can be played purely free to play. Secondly, both free to play players and pay to play players have equal rights to make suggestions. That is why there is a suggestions section in forums. Depending on if the suggestion is a good idea or bad idea, and how many people think the same way or oppose it, the GM's report the suggestion to GF which then tells RW what our opinion is. Thirdly, I'm fairly certain that GF is not able to merge servers - that's something only RW can can.

Not sure if everything I just said is absolutely 100% true, but it's from my experience on both forums and playing RoM.
