For server 57 merging with 62 was great for the water and fire realm. I am in forest (servers 62) and we had very few from server 57 join our guild where as fire and water received tons of new members. On server 62 we had 9 cities and now we have one and most likely never get another one. Merging a lower much stronger server (57) with a much weaker server (62) totally destroyed us. Most of my guild left as they were very disappointed in the merger. They were happier before 57 joined us and they spent tons of money here. Being a big spender myself left me with a bad taste and will not invest another nickel as will any of my guild members. It would have made more sense merging 3 servers (high power, medium power, and lower power) to average the power out. Not sure how they figured out which server meshed with another. I know I can't be the only one who was negatively affected in the mergers. It sounds like Sookean is not as happy as he was before the merger. You wanted my 2 cents so here it is.
