what happen to this idea dawn still working on it or they forgot about it ?

I think they're still ironing out the server mergers in Evony Age II.
After thinking more about it, merging servers might be a bad idea. Some servers thrive and other servers die, simply based on who joins them. It is quite possible for a few bullies to band together and destroy a server. If they then merge with a healthy server, they could destroy yet another server. Perhaps it is better to let everyone reap what they sow?
I just don't see how combining a dead server with a living breathing server can be good. Dumping inactives in a good server doesn't make sense to me. I think should maybe have people have the option of moving servers would be better. or perhaps guilds changing servers and guild and people in it auto change. Then delete the dead server. I also think its bad when a powerful server gets merged with a weak one, basically the small server would be taken over. The servers combined should be equal or as equal as possible.
yes i good idea because on serveur 47 only around 50 people active
Some servers have 10-20 active people.Quote:

I am positive that this will happen just as fast as any other major company who runs online games. Please be patient
My guess is that they will only merge the smaller servers and leave the big ones alone (servers 1-10)
i dont think they will go ahead with the mergers. they opened 4 new servers in the past month alone
Id like to see a new asia-pacific server :)
Hi Dawn can you give us an update on this? We all know that it takes time to organize a server merge but most of us are wondering:
1) the idea merging servers is still on or you have given it up?
2) merge will include servers 1-10?
3) what will happen if we have accounts on different servers with same email account?
Your feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks!
It is a good thing because the players that are active on dead servers can finally have people to compete with-- and if you "invested" in your character money wise or sentiment wise, on a dead server, it can be helpful. You can then join a new guild, or reorganize the guild you had on your old server with some of the same people and add new ones. This then may give the stronger, more "live" server that the dead server is merging with some competitionQuote:

That would work Andy , but unfortunately the Tynon devs are in denial and think all their servers are full and active.
I just want herby to admit his main server and then for it to be merged with server 1.
2.no need for merges on the lowest they are overcrowded (almost)Quote:

+1 on Wildflowers comment.. Its been some months ago this has been released on forums.. Instead of opening newer servers, merge some! Even newer servers (100+) are dieing now..
sure i have 3 smokingfox's main on s19 and 1 on s4 and on s35Quote:

no i mean if they do merge and u have accounts with same email address and player name on the servers to be merged, how will this be acheivable? will players be forced into choosing a single account? and if not, talk about super alts.........
just another can of worms to be addressed is all im saying
There are a lot of issues that they have to work trough before they can merge servers. These are some.Quote:

- What to do about who owns the GW cities (probably start with no one owning them and let the guilds fight for them from scratch).
- Arena Ranks.
- And, of course, how to pick what servers to merge. This on it self presents a number of issues:
- Will be a 2 or more into 1 or will the population of one server be distributed to multiple servers.
- Should the inactive players be moved too. That also means they need to define what an inactive player is and what to do with the ones that do not move.
- Can old (1-10) and new servers be merged
- Can servers in different time zones be merged
This is what I think.Quote:

2. As above
3. Depends, it could go either way
4. I'll imagine guilds and players will be in the same realm
5. In this case all cities will be reset to NPC
6. Reset, new fight for ranks
7.
1. You will choose one toon and any gems brought on the discarded will be moved on the account you have chosen
2. They'll be moved too especially if they are VIP accounts
3. Any-things possible
4. Wouldn't think this would be practical
im not sure we on the newer servers (s88) with top 4 at 40ish mil power and the 10 next at 15-25m power would benefit from a mass merger of all accounts...sure a couple older servers that gives us something to catch but not with the oldest to give us no chance at wb, sails etc

They should have decent bonuses, not "must have them or else we fall significantly behind bonuses". Reducing city bonuses by 50% would be a nice change to this game. For example, 10% rep, and 25% gold boosts is more than enough of a bonus to be beneficial, but not nearly as gamebreaking as the current city buffs.
For the record we do not hold onto ALL the cities on S11 - we always leave one city to be in the hands of some other guild so please keep your facts straight Spawn. With that said - yes GW's do indeed imbalance a server and that should be corrected. Merging 5 servers into one with all of the players from the same server going into a single realm would do this as you would then have 5 strong realm with 'supposedly' 5 strong guilds, 1 in each realm, to help balance things out. However once one guild again OP's the rest the end result will be be the same.
Exactly the problem. We have been over this a hundred times in other threads. the best way to make everyone happy is to take the buffs from cities and attach them to guild levels instead, then change gwf itself either into a PvE event or some other type of PvP event.Quote:

I am not sure if we are going to have server merge or not but this topic is dead for quite some time. I know dawnseeker is active in forums but not responding here means this is just not in the plans yet with all the bugs they need to fix :)

1 & 2 = Just place in front of the name the origin server number and give one opportunity to each player/host to rename their name/guild
3 = either way i don't believe this is a reason to delay merge. maybe a good opportunity to make all servers the same
4 = start from the guilds. i guess they could create a ranking with guilds according population and power and transfer them like the example below
GUILD A ---realm 1
GUILD B ---realm 2
GUILD C ---realm 3
GUILD D ---realm 4
GUILD E ---realm 5
GUILD F ---realm 1
GUILD G ---realm 2
GUILD H ---realm 3 etc
Players that don't belong to a guild and have been inactive for x days not transfer yet
5 & 6 = reset seems to be the fairest
7.1 = this is simply math and depends how many players will be moved.... (how many players one server can handle?)
7.2 = just separate inactives one a different server/s and give them option next time the log in to "move" their account to a merged server
7.3 = why not? and again i don't see this as a reason to delay merge (maybe they can let players decide to which server to move, give one free travel ticket)
7.4 = maybe they can create one new server for each time zone and give choice for players to move there if they wish (maybe the choice can be limited time.... 72 hours from the time you log in for the first time after this change)
Just keep things simple... if the devs afraid to make decisions for their game maybe no need to make them just let the players decide so everyone can be happy
Yeah we've been needing a merge for awhile now, alot of people have already quit because of the servers being so inactive. I just hope that guild will stick together when we actually do merge (hopefully soon)
~Server 34
Very true. I am on a server that is maybe a month old and peripheral gameplay is moving so fast (with some people ranking themselves so quickly to the point that there is almost no competition) that a merger might be the only way to keep it from dying. Something also should be done to clean up any quirks or hacks players may have introduced into the game. People have been doing things like offering hacks to get more coin and all kinds of stuff like that and I don't know what drain that is on the server...but it's annoying to think that someone would involve themselves in that kind of thing and thereby kill a server's competition and guild's friendly (and fair) strategyQuote:

But when is it going to happen ? It seems like this link was posted on 14/11/13 and today is 24/2/14. So already been 3 months... how long more it would be ? Or it has been cancelled ?
oh and make sure u include server 77 (Asia- Pacific) into the merge as half of us are thinking to quit and join a new one. So, if it works we will never need to quit!!
i think you can expect another 3 monthsQuote:

exactly. that's the point. unless you've refreshed browser you wouldn't get the mail. only know about server 21 and 30. but wasn't supposed to happen til 2200 est.
