    The Glass is always half-empty on server 62.
    ... and half full on server 57.

    It appears s62 burned its bridges. Took over all 9 cites, became a 1-guild server, and what happened?
    LOW POPULATION.
    Meanwhile s57 didn't. They kept the competition alive, which they chose to do. And what happened?
    HIGH POPULATION.

    Now s62 is whining.
    THEY HAVE MORE PEOPLE!! (translation: they didn't kill their server)
    WE CAN'T RECRUIT PEOPLE!! (translation: our server reputation sucks and no one will join us, even though we have the power)
    THEY'RE GANGING UP ON US!! (translation: they're being wise in how to take down a more powerful guild)

    Suck it up Buttercup.

    Hmmm I wonder if a new server were to open up after the mergers would it be filled with people who feel that they are handed a bad hand and would want to restart all afresh again?

    We had power but they left without notice. Nothing we can do about players leaving the server. I have no choice but to take it as face value

    Nonsense. There's TONS you can do.
    #1-- don't hog all the cities. This is the #1 server killer. When people realize they can't keep up, they give up. It also creates severe boredom in both your rivals and your own guild members. Even among the top guilds, in 1-server guilds, the population quickly drops from 25 to about 5-10.
    #2-- create balance among at least 3 different guilds. What fun is playing a sport when one team wins all the games? Do you really expect people to keep playing and enjoy those games? So ... do a draft. Make it interesting again. If you can't find competition, GENERATE competition.
    2a-- You could even create 1 or 2 alternative guilds in the realms and divide up your players into them. Create competition, otherwise your server is dead before you realize it.
    #3-- Cease being a jackass, or a Poor Sport. Congratulate your enemies' successes / victories. Don't sink everyone on saturdays. When you bully people ... guess what? They leave. And then you're screwed.

    When you kill the fun for others, you kill the server. All you have to do is change ... *make* it fun for others

    UMM last time I checked this his how Tynon programmed the game. Those spend and work hard succeed those that don't well....^....The stuff you mention above is just merely a matter of courtesy, which your not going to find a lot of in a WAR game were domination and rank are the goal. Merging servers is a good Idea..BUT I have been part of this before and I can tell you its not going to solve any of the issues your complaining about, except a little for GW's. Your asking for peace and harmony in a WAR game? UGh I don't get it.

    Suit yourself. It works very well for our server. For yours ... well ... as the old saying goes, you reap what you sow. I wish you very the best. Good luck at recruiting.

    My server hasn't been merged and we have 2 top guilds that dominate but we keep the fun alive by still fighting in GW yes we all would enjoy our own server merge to see how this would change things and sense i don't have a merge i can't really comment on what it is like. In s100 we all congratulate each other for wins and good game for a loss its common courtesy We all get along even when the top players attack us, yes this is a war game but you also grow close to the people you play with and have competition with. You should welcome the merger and do the same as you have always done and not be upset that the merge brought bigger players than you.

    Would it be better for Tynon to have PvP n non PvP servers so that those who like to PvP can go to those servers and those that prefer a nice calm game after a long day of work but still like some excitement go to PvE servers?
