Runes of Magic US / AU

Quoted from "Rougetopriest"

I hope not just the 2 PvP servers are combined by themselves into a new server. All that would solve is instead of running Sardo the PvP servers could then run beth... yay!...

What else can they do? can't just add people from a pve server and say gl in PVP. Unless pvp servers are willing to become pve servers i dont see hope for them.

As Saito has said before, the PvP servers will not be merged into one. I vote one server, to prolong the life of the game. If you have 2 or more, you will encounter the same problem of dying servers in 6 months. People will have to learn to get along with each other, as they should have long ago. Yes, people are mean, you'll find them everywhere. If so, ignore them. What the game really needs is one large community..

Yes, PvP servers have mentioned various times they would be willing to convert to PvE when I have taken polls.

And to tie that into the topic... as I said before Indigo + Artemis + Osha plz (Rather 1 huge server though) And then like 3 equal endgame guilds to compete in siege war against, and also supply gear to the entire server without any monopolys.

Would be better to keep the PVP guys on the same new server. That way they'd have more like minded players.
For the majority of PVE players there would be no issue on which server they ended up on, questing, siege etc is the same on any server for PVE. If you like PVP you want more PVP players.

People don't seem to realize that PvP no longer happens on the PvP servers. And regardless of that there isn't really a reason to have them together (if there were to be 2 servers).

And Mongo I couldn't agree more, mostly out of selfishness. #1 populated, #4 populated, #1 PvP, Thalia... Artemis/Osha/Indigo/Thalia!!

I'd like to see how that would work in siege war too, even though im in support for 1 server total. But Knightshift/Bteam/Aurora all top 4 guilds right now in accordance to siege war... Would be interesting to see how mergers between the 3 would take place :p And to see who would be the new power house of siege war. (Hopefully multiple!)

If they do one server only, i hope they get a better server to run the game on so we might have less lag spikes.

Also no matter what they merge servers within others, i hope people keep a bunch of guilds alive and do not join one big guild, that would just make the control freaks ruin the game once more for others. Having a bunch of greedy people control the market for gear and stats makes it wrong for the rest of us.

I have few people on Reni that i will not run any instances with, they know who they are and will agree with me, lol. I think PUG's will always be the way to go for the community to thrive and grow. If you have exploiters/hackers/dupers, report them and get them out on the spot, do not wait months and then say : i knew what was happening but ..... and then wonder why you got banned lol. Merging the server might bring out the few that might remain, but the GM team seems to be going all out on them.

The merge will be a good thing for the game as long as they get it right on the first try. Saito I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MY HOUSE AGAIN AND HOUSEKEEPERS PLEASE!!! or i will have you level them back all to their maximum capacity lol ;-)

Name for one of the servers : AWESOMNESS that sounds just right

While I do agree with you and pugs are the way to go in order to have a thriving economy instead of one or two endgame guild(s), and I see what you mean when you say you want all the guilds to remain the way they are. But many guilds will split up or many players will go elsewhere only because of Siege War, as Mongo said early, he can't wait for a merge to join a guild who can siege better than his current guild. And that will be the attitude of most players in most guilds. That being said, I think many guilds will still remain out of pure attachment of player-to-player in said guild(s).



@Mongo

Love that idea of dividing the two servers. Although as I've said before and I'll say again, I would much rather prefer one large server for the maximum prolongation of Runes of Magic, but IF they did do that, that would definitely be the way-to-go.

Slash and Mongo, you guys can have a conversation ;-) ty for that and i agree with what you guys are saying.

Don't forget that siege still has a maximum of 36 players max i think?, So what is the point of having a guild with 100 active members when they you have to pick who is going to siege? for me it would be unfair.

My gear and stats i got myself ;-) either by minigames, EOJ, mems etc, i traded a few, crafted a few but ya i did it my way. ;-)

Yes many aren't willing to run stuff, we have people that will not run because of the cost of gold to fix their gear, i think they are just lazy. Yes i am talking of some of my guildies and yes they know my feelings about that and are aware of my opinions on that. Some didn't want to use crafted gear and wanting only ENDGAME last instance gear. Until they compared crafted gear to the 100M price tag per piece of gear they wanted to get, lol. Then decided that it was almost as good and as Mongo said, they aren't willing to farm it themselves.

We have less players on the servers, true, but some have done it to themselves and here are a few of the reasons i have seen :

1- hackers and dupers gone and banned
2- Botters getting banned out
3- GM's doing a heck of a job
4- Exploiters gone or banned

For me people who cannot play the game as intended, are not willing to put in the time, finding a way to go around the rules etc have no business here. I have seen more people and guilds willing to help others now and i haven't seen that since 2009-10. I hope the server merge won't destroy all of that and people will understand that it might be the last chance for the game to get back to where it can be.

please do not mention my typo's, unlike Mongo i have a good reason : french Canadian writing in english ;-) hahaha

zid your 1-4 reasons for lower population have probably impacted the servers the absolute least of any other reason

number one reason being price of diamond/ diamond to item shop cost ratio

Yeah, you may see a siege vs ppk with 36 members, but how many of them are alts sitting in siege? 12+?

I completely agree with this.

I just have to say, I'm really glad I'm not on Reni.. because Zid consistently makes it sound like the bad part Detroit.


I also completely agree with you Mongo.

Unfortunately I too barely even log on anymore. I log in, do my dailies, and log back out. I'm pretty much tapped out on my gear at this point until another level cap and until there's a decent amount of activity on the server to run worthy things.

I'm the only "active" person in my guild anymore, so on topic, I too will probably look in to moving to a more active guild once a server merge happens and I can see who is active, and what active end game guilds are not only active, but willing to take me.

I know exactly what you mean Mongo and i totally agree ;-) i was just making a point about 100+ active players in guilds. I also agree with the me time that you said lol, i have cut back on helping others for now, just because some people want to be dragged through instances and not actually learn and run it.

BTW if people complain about the diamond prices being one of the reasons for people leaving the game, well we all know who we have to thank for that. They put back diamonds in AH since we asked for it and the capitalist players tought it would be good to play wall street with it and then you end up with the prices we have today, pretty simple.

The people that left the game because the diamonds are now too expensive are the ones that caused the issue in the first place, so good ridance with them. i buy my own when i need them and support the game, always did.

Price in IS have been adjusted on a few things, i still think we should get double the amount of diamonds for real money, but that is just me. The fact that some people have the addiction of always having to redo gear every 2 levels is just ridiculous and unnecessary. Unless you want to burn, burn, burn and get bored within a week. And that makes the cost of playing astronomical for no reason imo.
