Server merge planned?

DeathMutant3

Gareth seems to be the server of choice for new players for one major reason: server population. There are several clusters that have similar sized total populations but the individual servers, at least in the starting areas, appear to be ghost towns thus not an ideal environment for new players. Do you know if there are any plans to merge any servers currently in clusters? I can imagine that some people will be strongly against it but MMOG attrition is natural and without "fresh blood" those sparsely populated clusters will continue to lose population.

it would probably be a good idea to combine servers, but people have different realm chars on different servers so i dont know if it would work...u might end up going against ur own guild : /

That means game is dead and no more.

The game will slowly die like this. Thats the end of MMORPG.

Empty server = dead game, not worth playing.

There are no plans to merge servers.  The reason is because of people playing on more than one server/realm.  Further, there are housing issues.  The best you can hope for is more zones clustered.

I think at this point it would be better if they fully merged the currently clustered servers, then allowed character transfers for alts from opposing realms that ended up on the same server.  Or simply allow players to create characters from all realms on servers that have been merged into one.  Just keep the "you can't log into a different realm" for a certain period of time thing.

Whatever, something should be done, clustering was a genius idea, but it's time for another step to be taken...i feel it would be the best thing for the game, even if it looks bad to merge servers or whatever.  Clustering eliminates some problems, but isn't the best way to deal with the issue imo.
