i may not know about server upkeep cost etc. but en masse managed to upkeep 6 PvE server excluding role play server for 4 months since open beta. how much would it cost to just make 2 PvE server instead of 1? Dragonfall is well known for it being the most populated server (obvious reasons), and blightwood jumped up to 'medium' population in the server status before any other server did. cant en masse just upkeep 2 PvE servers? how much more would it cost to upkeep 1 more server?, how much less hate can be avoided if Dragonfall and blightwood becomes the two MAIN PvE servers? not all may agree but im sure that some people will. That Blightwood shouldnt merge with dragonfall because the community is quite strong.
Cant there be another solution like:
Dragonfall merge with 1 or 2minor populated server.
Blightwood merge with the rest?
i mean why would you make a trap for yourself. servers are going to explode with people logging in at the same time... lets say 20,000 people login at the same time. what would happen if the server crashes... what is there that can be done to say that i logged in first therefore this name is mine? there is no proof... then what would happen?
people quitting? complaints? results would be disastrous, why not make the complaint radius significantly smaller, by keeping 2 main PvE servers: DRAGONFALL and BLIGHTWOOD
