No emote for throwing poo :cry: . Its a very very very bad idea. Why? The 1k plat part. Servers are dieing, and some players who were only playing for the social aspect have begun to quit. The way to keep these players is a server merge, and not one that costs money. Its otms responsibility to keep the game fun and active, not ours. We shouldnt be paying for what otm should have done a long time ago.

I think it's a good idea. I think that 250-500 play would be a good price. I just think it would be tough to implement due to all the servers price differences.

Lol, mabon isnt the only server thats dead, many others are as well. Ten players in each area (mabon barely has 3 in each area if we r lucky not including the castle) doesnt equal near a full server. That would be around twenty people in an area at almost any given time during day. (All this based off when mabon was thriving, dieing, and dead.)

I believe if the devs took the time to address some player satisfaction issues instead of creating horse mounts, animated companions, new fashions, etc. that retention would improve dramatically. I know people wanted horses, but those are really not a priority. An auction house system is a priority and it would eliminate the majority of scamming (every victim is one less long term player), improve the game economy, allow players access to more items 24/7, and increase plat purchases. Especially if the AH was multiserver. Secondly there are multiple threads across the forums with various suggestions regarding class balancing. Then there are things that I've read that players have been wanting for years such as name changes, server transfers, etc.. I don't think merging servers is the answer. I think it's better to keep who's there and increase population. There are disadvantages to overpopulated servers too, so keeping the current servers is the best imo. I think the developers really need to sit down and have a no BS discussion of what is "really" important to the continued success of this game and then focus on that for the next six months. Sometimes devs get so carried away with new content that the daily grind and in-game life of players gets forgotten and that leads to where we are today with overinflated prices, dissatisfied players, empty servers, etc..

Mostly very good points, just have to correct you on one thing. Server merging wont result in overpopulated servers. They will result with fewer much better populated servers, with alot more action. I agree overpopulation is bad, but unless otm merges all servers into three or four, that wont happen.
