Server merge?

[Ticho2k]

So i had a few question about switching servers.

I found out some of my friends want to switch from gold to silver as soon as they're give the chance since silver economy is better, more good pvpers, bigger forum. just about everything is better.

I kinda wanna go to silver aswell since the bigger players will want to switch at some point and gold will be dying. So i had a few suggestions/questions.

 

1. Is it possible to merge silver/gold. this way we dont have to transfer accounts and leave alot of frieds we've made playing behind.

 

2. And if server capability's is the bottleneck cant there be an upgrade taken place since you would be losing the gold server and you would be saving money by doing so. Also I would think there's enough money gathered by now with all the people buying cc from the store?

 

3. If there can be another merge be taken place it might get too crowdy ingame so i thought i maybe would be nice to have 2/3 servers on the same server all using the same account. but you would only see the people ingame which are logged into that server. This way the crowdy problem goes away. maybe it would be nice to see in what server your friend is in looking at your friendlist. this way u can still talk ingame but for trading you would need to relog to the same server. also the general chats like all, trade, help would be server bound aswell. so advertising in server 1 would only reach the people playing in server 1. this way the chat wont be flooded.

 

i hope y'all get my point. Comment your thoughts on this below please

I agree with everything!

Server moving was open a short while after the merge, you can see that thread here.

The applications to move server are not currently open and may not even return in the future.

 

Your friends will have to remain in Gold or Silver until these applications open again.

Keep an eye out for announcements to see potential opening dates for server changing.

 

In regards to an answer to your thread, it is my understanding that Gold and Silver are not planning on being merged. The sheer capacity of players would not be able to be contained on only one server. If you were around when only one server was available and the player capacity was much lower than it is today, you would not have had to endure the 6 hours queue waits.

 

While it is regrettable that you wish to change servers and your friends do also, you will just have to wait and hope for a server change in future.

Have a nice day!

Hello there! Unfortunately you cannot transfer servers as of now due to the topic being closed (It was closed on May 1st, 2018). If you'd like to transfer servers, you'd have to wait until the Admins open the topic once again. The topic and its requirements can be found here for future reference. You also cannot merge them together as they're two separate servers. Sorry for the inconvenience and I hope you understand!

 

2. And if server capability's is the bottleneck cant there be an upgrade taken place since you would be losing the gold server and you would be saving money by doing so. Also I would think there's enough money gathered by now with all the people buying cc from the store?

All donations go towards the development and stability of the servers. Please do note that we're always trying to improve our server stability, but it isn't perfect and can sometimes still result to a crash and may limit our capabilities.

Well, the servers were merged to improve server stability. The servers aren't necessarily too crowded right now and our servers are able to handle the influx of players. However, you can always suggest improvements in our Suggestions Area.

Thanks for your reply.

 

First of all thanks for clearing some things up.

 

About question/suggestion 3.

its more a possible problem fix if gold/silver would merge. it might get to populated in places like vermillion city.

back in the day i used to play metin 2. to fix it getting over populated in certain train spots there would be multiple servers. u could still see ur friendlist and see in what server they were playing. abit like runescape. having your progress on both servers and being able to talk/communicate with the whole community would make things alot better. like offering daycare services, selling pokes and even pvping would be better

Considering we have a lot planned for PRO in the future and we've recently just merged servers, I can't promise you that a merge will be done any time soon or even at all.

Sorry to disappoint you, but if there are any changes happening with PRO, be sure to keep an eye out in Announcements for them.

As stated earlier, our servers can handle the influx of players during peak hours due to our improving server stability. However, merging the servers would come with big changes to economy (For better or worse), and PvP would have to be changed as there would be more players in one server. With that said, you can bring this up in suggestions. However, keep in mind that this may not be implemented in the near future or even at all.
