Olympus and Erevos (Two worlds collide...)

Mdaborn when Olympus players move back to Erevos i'm taking my gear. Sorry but when I was an orc I never had as much luck with frags or crafting. Resetting is just not an option for all the Olympus players. On Olympus if people ask for no godlikes then they are not brought.

So would exactly the same thing that I just said but with gear taken across as well? Regarding the resources, is this something that'll be impossible for the devs to do or is there the possibility of resources being transferred too?

Just a heads up....

We should be able to upload in a few hours the changes at the borders and the Capitals regarding the difficulties.

As stated before, players will be able to initiate a battle at the borders of the Capitals and at the Capital itself with Normal/Hard/Nightmare/Insane/Suicide difficulties.

Remarks

a) Borders will spawn min. 13 lvl of enemy units and the Capitals will spawn min. 15 lvl of enemy units.

b) Battle Rewards, CP/Influence caps, GS (the amount and level of gear of AI units) will follow the difficulties.

In other words, although a player will be able to start a battle on Normal, the min. lvl of enemy units will be 13. However, the fact that it is a Normal battle, the generation of gear for the enemy units will follow the Normal difficulty rules, which means that the AI gear will always be inferior to the higher difficulties. Same applies to Battle Rewards and CP/Influence.

This way players no longer are hindered to start a battle at the borders or Capital, but on the other hand the battles will still be challenging simulating that way the fact that this is an End Game challenge (capturing the Capital).

As for the poll, it seems that option 1 is the winner so far.

excellent news, rune!
thanks and much obliged!

Option 1: is no change and no merger right?

We "darkies" will be able to get a fighting chance at capturing the light capital on Olympus. Thanks for that btw!  

If and when we win the Olympus map, it just resets, nothing changes, the playerbase simply remains the same?  

This will mean the two worlds/two maps will continue to exist and the low player activity on both Everos and Olympus continues? That will kill the game!  

Is this really happening or am I just really confused?

Truth be told...we want to merge the two game worlds. Now, how to do that without creating problems, is the real challenge.

It seems that a lot of players don't want this merge to happen because that would mean that the current status of the Olympus game world will become the default after the merge. If that is the case, we are really not going to force this change and we are willing to keep the current status of the Erevos gameworld to become the default after the merge, but with some small tweaks (Eg. items caps).

However, our main problem is the fact that some players play in both game worlds and we cannot transfer both accounts in the new world, as we do not allow multi-accounts for obvious reasons. We may figure out a way to give the option to the player to choose which account he wants to use and the other one would be deleted. Is that...acceptable....barely acceptable or plain FAIL...?

Another heads up....We have finished with the HUGE changes in the battle mechanics and with the tweaks in the armies and a test server has been created. A few players have been selected to test the new battle system (FOW, End Battle function (all units are fleeing), Volume of units, changes to Undead and some other units, changes to battle mechanics..etc. etc. a post will be made with all the changes when the time comes) and they will be able to access the test server either later today or tomorrow. This will give us the opportunity to receive valuable feedback, before the changes go live. We are excited and we hope that you will find the new changes exciting as well...

option 2 and 3 are with merge, 37 want merge, 36 is option 1 without merging.

It's not fully clear, make a new poll with "DO you want both servers to merge?"
and check the result.
I can't bare to play when only 10 people are online, very hard to pvp/ trade/esp co op etc

Yes the low playerbase is killing the map.

There must be a way, let the dual accounts be tolereated for a week or two, making the players able to decide which account they want to use in the future?
