Right...and when the servers merge you get steam rolled if a bigger guild moves in.

That is very responsible of you. We are the 2hd top guild in server 7 and Guild Wars does not apply because there is only one dominant Guild in each Realm. I could propose the boats restriction to the other guilds but I do not not think there are many active players in the server under 4 mil, let alone having a combined power of 4 mil in a boat. The top Guild will not even agree to power down for HP so I think it will be a moot point anyway.
Surely it is the responsibility of Dev to keep the server alive? The players can't increase the activity in the server, and in cases such as in my server where we have maybe 20 active players I would welcome a merge with other servers with open arms. (I am in 19 and we are similar in power to 14)
That is a great idea but you could have a situation where one realm is far superior to another based on how old the servers merged are. For example if a 2 month old server becomes fire realm and a 3 month old server becomes forest then the top fire players will switch realms, unless of course they bring back the old GW system on S1-10
Idk which server you play but after the first 10 servers GW is mainly fought between realms all the top players generally end up in 1 guild in each realm and then each realm fights agasint each other. Even if one of the guilds is stronger than the others they still lose cities cause they have to split theri forces to fight others so its not really a problem untill very late in the server when most end up quitting or so and theree is only 20 or so players left thats when we need to merge :D
It would be nice to get an update on how this plan is progressing.
Is this still in the cards?
I hope a merge comes, and soon. Server 58 Wisdom of Pallas, is practically dead. From what I can tell from Ragnarak and Boss Fights and Guild Wars, there are currenly only about 16 active players. Recently in Ragnarak the number 10 position at the end had one win streak, with quite a few two win streaks, I fought the same enemy at least 8 times in 47 fights. I even saw 8 people total in Rag. That tells you how bad things are.
Noticed names changing over in heroic realms to players ive never heard of. Am i right in assuming the merger is happening?
I play in a few different servers, so what happens if some of the servers i play in merge into the new server? How will i play both players in the same server? ( as i am using the same email and password for all the servers i play)
No its just drawing replays from all servers rather than just your own.
anyone know why?
please Mergerrrrrrrrr
Our server is going to an end
Unfortunately it has nothing to do with a merge, just like the royal champ fights use the lowest 5 players power rating to use for the replays; they've also changed heroics replays to do the same. The reasoning is if you see the lowest power to be able to beat it first you can get an idea of formation and heros to help give you an idea on how to beat them instead of just going with whoever got it first. whether that was through skill or luck or just overpowering the boss.
I had a couple of spots in top 3 and got kicked off by people who were a good bit less in power than mine and I got by with just luck so their strat was probably a good bit better than mine.
True but that is hard to do when tynon keeps opening new servers at the rate they have.
re playing on multiple servers.
assuming they pattern it after Evony.
The rule that you are not allowed multiple players on one server still aplies, so you have to choose.
I was on 4,5,6 in evony and got an email that the first time i logged in to the new server i would have to chose.
Never happened. it was random, i got the suckiest act, and quit.
Happy i did.
Wish I'd never started Tynon.
Darnseeker, it has been over 2 months since you started this tread. Can you give please us an update?
im at server 88 we got 40-50 actives on the 3 realms with fire having about half of them, and we control all cities, merging us with the server before ours and the one after should triple the population and i have a hard time seeing the different servers joining eachothers guilds so im really hoping to be merged with atleast 2 others or preferebly 4 or more, i played alot of games where they merge some servers and the rivalry between the guys from different servers usually makes for great battles...(please merge server 88 before it dies)
Sounds great - but what happened to 87 - Love of Freja? It has been offline now for 24 hours!!!
any news in server merges?
0.5 month :). rough guess
Just one thing to add. There's a lot of money and effort put into the guilds as to level it up. Many have paid lots of gems to contribute to the guild. So here goes one suggestion:
Each player can receive a voucher (however you want to call it) with the total contribution made by the player to the guild(s) during the entire life of the server so far. This voucher of guild points will then be used to build up the new guild as we move on to the new server. It will then be the choice of the player as far as in which new guild to use it.
think 86 is an u.s server? 88 is an eu so wouldnt be up for merging them i think...would be more like 84-88-92 probably
Merging Servers is a fantastic idea. Having 5 realms to choose from will really help diversify, give options to players and keep things interesting. I am curious how this will be handled. Will Guilds be given the option of switching realms? How about players? Will Tynon lift the 150 gem penalty?
I think instead of, "merging," servers, new servers should be created, and players from the former servers will start on the new server guildless and with the option of one free realm switch.
If each server is 5 realms, then guild wars should be handled much the same way as servers 1-10.
Instead, create a new type of inter-realm battle that takes place maybe only on weekends and confer smaller bonuses on the victorious guilds.
I meant merging existing servers into a brand new server, which is the same as merging servers, except players will begin guildless and in a random realm while being able to have a free realm change.
Otherwise players will be stuck in whatever realm they were in unless they want to shell out 150 gems.
OOOH I know I know
lets just merge all the servers in the same time zone and have 5 servers!! YES LETS DO THIS!!!!!!
This is the downfall of the merger idea which needs to be addressed. Guilds that have strong-armed servers, kicking VIP5-6 members "Having Bad Days" will try to continue this. I advise a simple established guild matrix that does not allow for "player only decisions without first having the bann-able offense, which usually goes against Tynon's stipulations, (as having a grudge against someone and just taking their coins/xp/gems just to fight amongst each other), to find out its say the guilds GF, in comparison this wastes someones time and energy and money," as the moderators will not be able to do anything in this situation which will lead to civil lawsuits as if its proven with screenshots etc that people are not being dealt with that have violated the user agreement.
what about the arena there will only be 4 spots that pay out anything to speak of over three Realms with the influx of players
Would be nice if they properly allowed Royal Arena coin/credit bonuses to apply to arena awards. Another thing that the dimwit developers overlooked and forgot about when they coded up the big patch.
There is a thread listed Realm Transfers, but what the person really meant was Server transfers. I really think this is a good ideal. I have copied my post from there and placed it here, just food for thought.

"This feature would be really an awesome feature, in my opinion. But alas what Andy said would be true. Perhaps if this option could be integrated into the game, but allow an upward movement only no backwards movement to a smaller server, only servers that were opened before the existing server. This is definitely something I would like to see happen. When the biggest boys start to become bored they could move up, this may stimulate the smaller players to become more active since they have a better chance at moving up in arena as well as sailing successfully. This to me is a win-win situation."
" an upward movement only ".
great idea :)).
and please merge Tynon. our server (73) has only 10 active players, some of them are thinking of giving up or coming to new server. if they do, our server comes to an end :( cause we hve no reason to continues .
We have lost so many people on our server its hard to find new members .Or start a guild .our server is dying people dont come back .like the new stuff and thank you .We realy need the megers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope it happens SOON .we also need ways to help out the small players better . TY BRI
The secret to keeping a server alive and active is simple: Restraint. Treat this as a PvE game with PvP elements. Yes, you can sink dozens of ships each day and pass maps off to alternate accounts. Why bother? Either everyone shuns you - in which case you come off as a jerk - or you succeed. If you succeed, then everyone leaves the server.
Focus on defeating the big monsters (Baal and Cerberus) or on heroic realms and quest. Build up your guild and your realm. If you treat everyone as an enemy, then the server dies when the war ends.
It might be a good idea when Tynon completes the merges if they would set up separate realms in a new combined server for each old server. This way each "old" server would continue to have their own arenas and Baal/Cerberus events.
