Lets merge server 45 with server 57 as an example. What do you think would happen to server 57 members. I would be guessing they would leave as their upward process would come quickly to an end. I know the opposite would have happened to us if we say merged with server 68. We still would be the dominate server and most likely the members on server 68 would leave. Yelsha, would you invest in a game where you will not progress or get bonuses. Unless we recruit around 20 active members which I can' see happening, our progression will be minimal and competition will come to an end . Don't get me wrong, I will still login only to waste time now. I am having a difficult time thinking that all the server mergers went well exactly as planned and everyone is very happy. I guess our merger was the only one that made us a bit bitter. I have an idea, let's merge server 10 with server 57, I am sure 57 would love the competition and the new challenges and would spend thousands of dollars to catch up to them. Server 57 loves to spend tons of money, especially on the alternate power players. I guess I am bitter as my credit card has a low limit and it just won't let me purchase a few gold packages.
Based on the rankings, Forest should crush Fire and Water easily. The problem is, from what you are saying, is that those high-ranking players left because there was a player with more power than them. I have no idea why they feel upgrade progress is being affected. Also, you seem to think the older the server, the bigger advantage they would have, which is not true either. Either of the two major guilds on Server 79 could handle Meatydog's guild quite easily in a guild war. Apart from Meatydog, nobody on Server 57, "appears," to have even coined much. It's not like you guys were merged into ExecDude's or PussyRiot's server. That would be a different story.
