Hello I had came back after taking a 2 1/2yr break from RoM to only see that a few server merges were done and if you didn't log onto your character(s) during a certain time frame you'd loose them forever like what happened to me. But when y'all do future server merges, y'all should keep ALL character data from the old servers just encase old players (like me) decides to come back to only see all progress they made on all their characters gone. Out of all the games I've ever played, Gameforge is the only company to NOT keep the character data for characters on archived servers thus pushing away players from wanting to try games made by y'all in fear of ever loosing them again. It still makes me sad to see all 8 characters I had gone and all the mounts and hard work I did gone. I loved this game and had fun playing it but now I'm not even sure if I even want to play the live version of this game. Yes I would've transferred my characters onto the new servers if I would've gotten a email about it (which I never get one which still pisses me off to this day.) If I had people to play with and to level up with, maybe I would consider trying RoM out again but seeing how it's pretty much dead, I don't really see the point in trying to play anymore.
