    This is great news because the game is starting to get very stale for many of the big players who have topped out in levels and quests and who are essentially just biding their time waiting for something new to happen.

    To be honest, I'm in two minds about this. I've been through a merge on an Evony server and while it was 'exciting' for a short while at the end of the day nothing changed. I've also experienced it on another game....nothing really changed there either. A merge doesn't solve all the 'server population' issues, if it doesn't work out for players quite a proportion start again on a brand new server.

    Although it's what people hoped for, I think too much is being pinned on it. This is going to be someway off, so my suggestion would be to focus on making your current game less stale.

    I'm for it in general. I wouldn't be very happy if this means we lose our realm guild cities if we were a part of the merger. I think server wide GW would be a lot less interesting because most people would pile into one guild per server rather than 1 guild per realm.

    If you merge several servers together, there wouldn't be enough space in a guild to put all top players in it.

    I hope they limit guild sizes to something smaller, and increase the amount of contributions per investment, to encourage diversity in guilds.

    I agree with Morgan. I am on a couple of dead servers just wishing I could delete the Hero. Merging dead servers is not going to enliven them - they went dead for a reason, mostly because of the server wide Guildwars IMHO (I am also on one of the first 10 - it is still fun there!!).

    I'm going to agree with Herby on this one. As much as we like ea other, and have lots of big players together, what this game lacks is a competitive GW or enough PvP. It might be good to make smaller, but more guilds to compete. Only thing is they'd have to be able to reach equal levels faster or no one will want to move. Unless it went to a server-wide GW.. which i don't really support. I'd rather see more guilds per realm, and keep realm GW.

    And you'll still end up with the same issues. Big players will end up in a top guild and the rest in the smaller. The only difference being you will have less players than you started with.

    Although no one can argue with the sentiments, there is no real solution to the problem. I've just come to accept the game for what it is.

    No Morgan.

    Usually big players have big egos as well.
    They will not stay in one guild because this means they will have to compete in one arena.
    Big players want to be #1 or 2 in the arena everyday.

    Thus, they won't want to bunch up in one alliance only.
    And since there will be 5 realms, they have a multitude of arenas to choose from.
