Expand As Glacier Peak said, there are players on those servers who are invested in their characters and don't want a merge, with all of the name collisions that would entail. But since you're so gung-ho for it, we'll make sure that all your characters are tagged with 'vulnerable to losing name' in the event of name collisions in the event server merges do occur. 1 1 1

biostem Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Perhaps the intent is not to have a single shard where it's standing room only. Nothing is stopping anyone from playing on a high-population server. While I do prefer busier servers myself, what I do NOT want to see, is a situation where we have to wait in a queue because it's too crowded... 3

Expand You could delete all the shards except Excelsior and Everlasting, move all the existing players there, and neither of them would have queues with the current total playerbase.

Glacier Peak Posted January 11 Posted January 11 For everyone's awareness, 1,500 concurrent players is when queues begin. I lead weekly Indom Badge Runs / A newer giant monster guide by Glacier Peak / A tour of Pocket D easter eggs! / Arena All-Star Accolade Guide! Best Post Ever....

Expand So Excelsior, per the current forum count, has a little over 1000, and Everlasting has nearly 600, so there would definitely be a queue if the shards were consolidated, (assuming your numbers are correct)... 1

If was fast and easy to put teams together for several hours every day. The LFG chat was extremely busy. Today it barely moves. Other mmo's have a lot more players -- in the tens of thousands per shard Because of this I have stopped forming teams (trying to). Today I am soloing a character on the red side. The red side population is extremely tiny. Edited January 11 by Diantane
