If there were a merge to Erevos after the war on Olympus ended...

Ballance races, equalise gear and the ppl wont have anything to complain about and actually look at their tactical decisions and evaluate outcomes differently. Cant imagine better environment to learn. As for pvp activity, ppl who have gear and dont pvp generally are just not the ppl who like it. But there are or have been a lot of ppl who are interested in pvp, yet those gave up after few tries and often completely left the game. Many reasons for that, but to some the pvp is very important and some of them are casual, yet are not interested to farm pve for a year so they can finally do pvp on equal (erevos - capped) terms. I remember a time where we had 3 men coops on regular base and i remember that whenever i looked into pvp board i saw permanently 4+ ppl in pvp queue over several weeks, all in t1-2. Currently we need to scale the numbers down, but even if those pvp first timers are seldom, i would welcome better conditions to keep them. Current mechanics on both servers appear to alienate them from pvp more than encourage them.
My personal reasons to not pvp is the hassle to switch equipment, i pvped some, mostly fyrr many times in a row. But the regearing part just gives me a headache. [Also i got my first epic item when my units were lvl 10. This is barely possible now, i was a child of the naked pve era ]
In any case i did find pvp very item dependant back then and i still do now. I also heared from many guild members over the months i play that they tried to pvp and gave up, they asked why they perform so bad and in the talk the usual result was their inferior gear. Some won and did it some more. Till they got to the level where a lot better gear was needed and they got stuck again, losing interest.
I dont know whether its best or not, i just suggest a new system, certainly any alternatives with similar goal are welcome.

Personally I believe (sticking to just CP containers and gear) that for CP containers the CPs containers are better and gear in PvPs could be solved with organised PvPs e.g. limit on no. of GLs set by the players for that specific battle. Small CP containers and regions that fall fast only discourage guilds from trying to occupy frontline regions as any investment they make could be gone in a few hours, it has been said many times that a small CP container was meant for a small population so why keep it for a large population if the 2 servers merge? As for gear, you could just ask the person you're facing not to use GLs, I can't think of anyone who would say they won't take GLs in PvP then take them (not on Everos - this is not meant to offend anyone, I wrote this purely because I do not know all the players on Olypus) and if the devs impliment a way to organise PvPs, e.g. limit on GS and rarity of items etc. then gear does not have to be nerfed.

I dont see a reason for smaller containers unless there is a full rework of regional bonuses. As for gear stats, personally i find the ones on olympus quite bad. While erevos players eventually reach the level of 100% equal and fair pvp by reaching all caps (possible around lvl 12 units give or take), this is plain impossible on olympus, ever.
Improving pvp on lower levels can only happen by limiting epic and godlike usage in pvp to certain tier level and raise items gs.

I've capped melee,strength,morale,95 endurance and 83 armor. Not impossible to cap stats.

Go away with your quad stat gl artifacts  
Ppl can play for months and not see a single gl arti fragment. Ofc my statement is not finite, but it represents the average situation. Some units are easier to cap, hi and cav are the tricky part (yes i see that you capped a HI, and yet i bet on a gl arti).

yes your right. However Wickery mentioned an idea to raise +5/10 to all units starting stats. Couple that with Olympus gear I think it could be a good idea. However I agree that without having really good gear it's hard to cap stats. Hard without a godlike artifact or two

This hole thread is about taking the best things from both worlds and putting them together, not about any kind of rivalry. Lowering regional update costs and times is is a minor issue that can be addressed and adjusted afterwards.

I personally don't see a single good thing in Olympus so there's nothing really to take from it other than the players.   

I appreciate the fact that you see that mainly, the Olympus players want to come back. We don't want to take all the mechanics of Olympus with us.
