I'm sure this post will blow up and get closed by the GMs since it'll repeat a lot of what's already been said.

With that said, I'd like to point out the last time they said something along the lines of "We would like to keep the question of 'when' in the dark for a while longer – in its current status we think a tentative date of the first half of 2016 is close." We still haven't seen a final product of the last time they said this. Server Merge is still being "worked on." Can't run stuff if there isn't anyone on that server that can run stuff, which is our main concern, as the player, I thought.

It's been a full year since the "merge" was announced, and they just keep pushing the deadline further and further back. Soo I'd just like to say....the added content and timelines they give themselves should be taken with a grain of salt since we all know, it's not always the whole truth.

Don't get me wrong, it's GREAT to see actual movement from our teams. It'll just be nice to see some results now.

Miss you VVV <3

New content is pointless without people to run it with. Are we supposed to be excited about a new chapter when nobody has even come close to finishing the current content?

That entire post was so blind to the problems this game has. Finish your current problems before you add new ones for god's sake.

Totally agree with Soulcalibur on his post, all they do is talk, talk, talk in hopes people won't leave, heck a few more leaving and there will be no more Reni.

They give some sparse news with the merge, where is it? 1 year!!!!!! now making promises more things are coming blablabla so what is the timeframe? timeline? 2017??? 2018??

Gameforge should stop trying to contain the bleeding and start talking facts, reality and not always fictions. There some people that it works to talk about stuff and then : OH Shinny things here LOOK!! they get distracted and forget about the thing they were talking about. Gameforge are good to get people distracted with shinny new things, rumors but that is all dust in the wind for me now.

Too many lies, too many half truth, too many maybe's, i bet you guys would make it big in politics.

Anyone remember the gameforge teamspeak meeting with guild leaders a long time ago?

Big hype and no follow through. This is the same situation.

Ya they sent a Pitbull to tell us how things are gonna change etc, full of hot air and no cigar. Just like a bad date with no happy ending. I swear these guys are all lawyers writing things down, takes them 1 year to make a credible announcement but filled with delays etc

Confucius says "Those who put all their eggs into basket of thinking that merge is miracle cure that will solve everything are going to have rude awakening". Focus, people; unreasonable expectations are bad for your fragile sanity.

Apparently Confucius had eggs. My contention would be that possibly those hoping for a successful server merge believe that such a merge would give them an egg or two where they don't see any now. I suspect people believe/hope a successful merge, which won't save the game, will extend the life of the game and give them, hopefully, a more enjoyable playing experience for part of that extension.

Sure, I won't argue with that. Nonetheless, projects should always be attempted with ROI in mind, especially large projects. I am not convinced that this has high ROI, although obviously be happy to be proven wrong.

The problem from day one is not just the lack of communication but an outright refusal to communicate. People aren't leaving because the game is bad (it isn't it is quite a good game) but because of frustration with the problems and the inability to plan for the future of their gaming because of this refusal to communicate. If you are going to invest your time and money in a game you want to be sure what is going to happen a month, 6 months and a year from now. General statements such as the last one do not help but only exasperate the situation. Investments require concrete information not what we are getting. Players are leaving for the simple reason they can never get an answer. Telling us what is going to happen and when is the only way that you will still have people playing the game if the mythical merger ever takes place.

I am of the opinion, that when the merge happens, some of te endgamers that left will return. Hopefully by then, they aren't too far gone and absorbed in another game.

I just have the belief the merge will never happen, and it's all propaganda to keep the game 'alive' for just a bit more, and 'milk' all they can, while they can.

That's just me though. </3

I have to second my man soul on that topic. I don't think the merge will actually ever happen. It seems like a lot to ask from a company that has shown in the past that they aren't willing to put forth the effort to do what is best for their game's longevity.

While it's very unclear as to whether or not the merge will ever happen, a CM did post on EN forums this:

Quoted from "SiS"

About the merge, once the changes we are doing now are complete, we will continue with them. It's still in progress, and as we said in the announcement it will take some time (we said we didn't expect this to happen before autumn), but the merge is happening after that :)

Take it for what you will as the CMs are the ones that have more info than GMs.

and aliens exists too!!!!! the merge was a smoke screen to see how many players would come back and login. Then they cumulate those numbers for their yearly board meeting and show them it was worth putting money into it or at least keep the servers open. The meeting happened and the merge was put on the bottom drawer. I don't care about the merge anymore and as others , I don't think it will make the game better or more fun. Gameforge should make as much advertisements as for Aion/Orcs must die/ and all of their other games but they seem to care enough about ROM.

When you have a product that has such huge potential and a loyal community as ROM, you take care of it. Lack of effort on Gameforge part is what is killing the game.

To all who are quoting : They said ....... well keep living in the lands of unicorns and centaurs :whistling: look shinny!!!! :lol:

Zid:

Time to get that tinfoil hat relined and blocked, 'kay?

As for a "merger timetable", we (the GMs) can't provide one. We don't have the information on the progress of making account diamonds/rubies cross-server. This is an important step and needs to be done before the rest of the server merges can be started.
