Android and iOS users on same servers.

When the game is released to the android market my friend can download and start playing.

I've heard rumor that android users may be forced into their own unique or new servers where they won't be able to mix with existing iOS users. That means I'd either have to forget about playing this game with a friend or start over from scratch on new world/server and waste the two years of progression I've already made.

Will the new android users be able to join the same servers and worlds of the iOS players now?

Initially we are planning to launch the Android version on different servers. Once any teething issues have been ironed out with the Android launch we will be looking into having Android and iOS users play on the same servers.

This will be done to ensure that the Android launch doesn't disrupt the current players.

the game isnt at the point were it can handle that many players it will be over crowded no where to lvl and just way to many problems so i hope they never let android users into the same servers as ios until the day this game is big enough to support that many players.

The game is in dire straights, it can't handle more people because noone would have enough mobs to level on, but at the same time it needs more players because group leveling isn't much of an option currently. The game is in need of a serious overhaul.

Here's what you do:

Release the game, and have a few servers opened for the Android. Make it known that these servers are for Android, but have the other servers still open.

Then, people who have friends with androids can play with their iOS friends, and people just starting out can join the new Server.

^ If I'm not mistaken, they are worried about android compatibility. They wouldn't make new worlds if they didn't think the android users couldn't impact the iOS users. My guess is android users could potentially bring bugs into the game that could impact iOS users, so they want to keep separate. My guess is shortly after Android is released on new worlds, world transfers will come available so android users and old iOS users don't have to start over to play with friends.
