Right now, honestly, I guess keeping the worlds the same is the best option. Containers based on population and amount of attackers would be really effective, along with removing a few restrictions if not all on the capital. Merging would be no fun, as a light Erevos player, I don't want to play previous Erevos players who were light and went dark on Olympus, like Anduin, Clambam, and ysosad...

Do you not want the worlds to merge simply because you have friends as darkies on Olympus or do you think that it is what's best for the game? As i've said I think that it would be best for the game if the two worlds were merged. Kubasaka in problem three I think of your post you mentioned the stats problem.

However I wanted to add a solution for gear if the two servers are merged. If you have a godlike weapon(BC2) with +25 melee and +24 strength. the 25 melee is 100% out of 25. So it would then be a +30 melee weapon in BC1. 24 strength is 96% of 25. So then it would be 28.8 out of 30 on Olympus. I think it should be rounded up in that case to 29. As for building and technology prices perhaps meet in the middle or defer to the lower Everos prices. I think the current building/technology prices on Olympus discourage new players. I posted this somewhere else but I think that could help with the new stats. Or if they preferred the +25 stat cap to the 30 then they could just do the same thing except opposite.

I did suggest a third race for all the Olympus players, since that would make it somewhat even...was shot down though Razz

I think the reason it was shot down was because then everyone on Olympus would have to reset. I don't think that is wanted. However if they do ever make a third faction then I would reset. Of course only if the third faction had races that I think I would both like and succeed with.

Especially the gem issue - gems were given for migration.. now if they are given yet again in case of merge... Unfair. If -not- given, unfair too. Messed up.

And yea some people enjoy playing 2 races... 2 accs in one world is against TOS.. Boo.

As mentioned, yea, if those crappy containers get implemented in bc1, won't be any point to use bonus regions so whole guild system goes to waste. Easy way to avoid it is if bonus upgrades don't disappear when opposite faction gets the region.. Some guild can upgrade a lot, opponents take it and use it, perhaps upgrade more, and the first guild has motivation to get their region back.

BIG issue with new race/faction - balancing among races would be needed. Caps, balance in pvps... 6 races are more than enough for this sort of chaos. This is hardly a priority atm.

funny at the time of watching.. 11 votes yes, 11 no. and the poll is unclear... 'yes' can mean agreeing to either of 2 options...

The more I think about it the more I want the servers to merge. More activity. More coops. More pvps. Having one server is better for everything.

If they merge the servers than I don't think making everyone on Olympus reset is an option. Either people can have alternate accounts or they have to choose between one. I prefer the first option since besides resources collecting I don't think alternate accounts have that big of an impact on the game.

I just want more players, more activity, more map options, and less of a stalemate. Don't know how you do that but even Erevos is settling back into trench warfare around the middle of the map...yaaawwwwwn....

Besides the fact that I want the servers to merge it seems like the general consensus for everyone on Olympus is they want a side to win first. After the restrictions for attacking the capital are gone it shouldn't take too long. that could give a good amount of time for both updates and figuring out how to merge the servers.

From what i'm getting, the planned wave of players won't be coming, Pyr. It certainly sounded like Agincourt has chosen another path.

As for waiting for an end on Olympus...

Well, we very well could be waiting for some distant wave of new players.

Of course, we could always push the Devs to change the rules of the game so someone can win...but then I'd have to add Cheaters to the long list of insults I have saved up for the Darkies...and my memory isn't that good.

I'm of the opinion that the servers should be merged, so as to promote growth in the community. Rune's suggestion of a soft-reset alongside smaller containers combined with Fyrr's point on regional bonus destruction sounds like an appropriate remedy for what ails us.

And I am also of the opinion (though unrelated) that a third faction should take a back seat in this conversation...though I do look forward to the day it comes.

Ah yes, and I think it would be a good idea to recreate this thread once you're satisfied with the discussion here; as the vote is quite split and some searching required to figure out the specifics.

I do think merging the servers is a good idea (assuming that it's unlikely to get a huge surge of players any time soon). I'm sad that I'll probably have to choose between my two accounts, but as long as I get fair warning and can choose which account to keep I suppose I am okay with it.

there do need to be different polls. the one now is confusing. The yes or no answers different questions.

^^so true. The game is kind of dead :/

As others have said, these were two separate questions. I'd only be for resetting Olympus if the dark side got the win, otherwise, I'd rather fight it out given how close we are to the capital.

I do not want to be forced back to Erevos with my dark account. I already have a light account on Erevos, so this would force me to reset one of my accounts, unless we are given special privileges to keep both accounts, my vote is no to this.

I must have misread the question...or maybe it is has changed?
I voted yes, but what I meant is I am happy to have a reset...but only once there has been a conclusion to Olympus...so my vote should read "no"

Having said this, if capital restrictions are sorted out, then the need for merging is probably not so much needed, it was mainly the mass abondonment of the game due to the capital restrictions that led to suggestions of merging back, apart from the capital part I very much like Olympus and the faster warfare

You have to wait forever because people spend so much time asking who's in the queue rather than jumping in there LOL My work around is I go into the Co-op queue.... wait 1 minute. Then start initiating a solo. If I get to the Battle button then there's no co-op that round. Rinse and repeat.

I think give all olympus player aether but half the reward of the winner to both. Along with some gifts, VIP/chest box/Few gems etc.Also a decision to select either one of the accounts.

Giving bonuses to players with accounts on the other server "ONLY" is not a good idea. Don't need to say why. But maybe an extra bonus to those with 2nd acc on erevos depending on fame. like 1k-5k X bonus extra, 5k-15k X bonus, and so on.

Really looking forward to merge along with a patch.

You need to elaborate with specific examples as to how much Aether players of given ranks would get...depending on what you meant to say here, there are scenario's in which the "winner" gets the same or less Aether than the loser. (e.g. Currently, 1st place player on winning Factions gets 450 Aether, the losing Faction's top player gets 250. If the winner gets 225 taken away and divided evenly between himself and the loser, the winner would get 337.5 Aether and the loser 362.5.)

I have no idea what the "like 1k-5k X bonus extra, 5k-15k X bonus, and so on." refers to. Are you saying that as compensation for the loss of the alternate account that the primary account should get extra fame? Extra Aether?

Would Olympus players be allowed to choose a different faction from their current, or would they need to remain the same race?

On a separate note, why don't we just keep the servers. Expand the game and make containers based on population. Makes it easier for Olympus players. A lot of great suggestions have been made, so use those rather than merge. There are better things devs can work on, in my opinion.

I think everyone from both servers would have to remain exactly the same. Building s and technology levels should also be the same. I don't think making everyone from the whole game or either server reset is an option. Still though the poll needs to be changed. I vote no for Olympus to reset but yes to a server merge so it's a confusing question and answer. What better things? What great suggestions? I feel like besides merging the servers the devs can't do much about player activity and having one server would greatly increase player activity. Plus this game doesn't seem like the type of game to have multiple servers. One server makes the most sense in my opinion.

Also since some people wanted new polls I hope these new ones are less confusing.

Well of course we should merge we need to be playing in one world not two so we get divided.If we do merge we all know there will be more coops,PVP's,and more activity.But I say we wait a bit till the Darkside wins on Olympus so they can at least get some aether but there is no timetable for that.But the main thing I am looking for is that we can still have our data (accounts) on the new server so we do not have to reset and lose all of our progress that we have worked so hard on.And if people want to reset they can do it on there own not the entire other world of players.So I vote yes but wait till the Darkside can win on Olympus.
