PETITION: MERGE Servers 1-6 on May 4th not 1-4

Don't bother with poll.  Dev's won't change their minds.  Enjoy the next 4-6 weeks of boredom servers 5-6.

They don't even announce the new servers anymore, share the rest days, or even comment. No point since most activity are the spammers.

I voted no based off estimate of 200 active alliance members with 4 servers is plenty (800 players) and having 1,200 seems excessive.

This depends on season 2's map size.

Regardless of which servers merge, it is clear that any servers which have already taken Delphi (e.g. Server 6) will quickly need additional content to keep the players entertained if they are not soon entering season 2.

My view is that a more popular server will be more enjoyable. The fight for land and resources was a fairly weak fight in season 1, due to so much land available. By the time city districts became scarce, all of the top server players fit into the #1 alliance anyway... which did not create much PvP content.

It would be great to have a server with 800+ active (competent) players that could not fit into one super-alliance, thus creating combat between 2-4 similarly matched alliances.

And Jayveon I know 200 "active" alliance members is stretching it.  Look at your alliance page, click on members, sort by contribution, and look at the weeks contribution.  Look how many people are at 0.  And then take into consideration all the people who login just to donate their maxed out resources and do their free gairo summons.  Then take into consideration all the people who have alts in multiple servers..  Rage would be disapointed in your fear for competition... I expect more from S2's champion alliance.

Sorting it that way shows the overall contribution. I'm not going to scroll through and count 284 alliance members, I just estimate a third are inactive and that's just our alliance members and not other players outside the alliance. I don't know why you're being so combative for a poll but it's not to ruin the game, make people quit, fear of competition, or whatever rationalizes you made because you want a merger asap.... My opinion is that it would be overpopulated. No reply necessary as this thread of insinuation no longer interests me.

The reason they're pumping out a new server every week is to square off the season 2 servers.  1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16. I suspect the season 2 servers may merge into one final season 3 server. I'd imagine the map expansion is nothing more than opening up the greyed out zones on the map to extend closer to the "true" edges of the map.

While I agree that a 6 server merge would make for more interesting gameplay, that would throw a wrench into that neatly squared off server plan. It would also put servers 7 and 8, who are relatively close to Delphi, into a bracket with brand new servers. While servers 5 and 6 will likely start getting bored waiting for 7 and 8, it would be a much closer gap than 7 and 8 waiting for 11 and 12.

That is my fear Zaeter that too many people will just quit knowing it will be over a month minimum till season 2.  Why play let alone spend any money?  Just login to collect free summon 2x a day and do drills and land events.  Fun...

And they could easily do servers 1-6 season 2 then 7-12 season 2 then merge the two.  Would work on time frames better than trying to do 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16.

Heck they could maybe do 1-6, 7-12, 13-18.  Once people start playing season 2 from servers 1-4 all the alts who are on servers 5-13 will be idle...

Merging 1-6 wouldn't make sense from a developer standpoint. Had S13 not been released, maybe it could have worked, but that clearly wasn't their intent.
It takes on average 80-90 days to beat Delphi (excluding variables of the game being brand new on S1&2). That means S8 should be taking Delphi around the middle of May, making season 2 for 5-8 likely to land early/mid June. That would mean S5 has roughly 45 days of wait time from Delphi cap to season 2 (approximately the same timeframe of S4 to season 2). This puts S12 at Delphi around early/mid July with season 2 likely around early August. That would make S7&8 have a 60-75 day gap between Delphi and season 2.


Combining S1-6 and then 7-12 would leave a far greater time gap than doing 1-4 and 5-8. Doing S1-6 and 7-10 would create unequal servers. There's really no fair way to do anything with the inconsistencies in server releases and variables of the way servers play out.

Over 2.5 months of doing nothing?  Talk about shooting themselves in the foot.  The developers must figure something out otherwise this game will never have the loyal fan base it needs to stay around long term.  No competitive gamer is going to play IC farmville for 2+ months while they wait for server 2.
