Merge The Servers! For the love of God, please merge the servers.

I understand the reasoning behind clustering the servers with the housing and all that. But Mythic are big time innovative game developers with imaginations and problem solving skills to figure out how to make merging so.
C'mon, it's the only thing that is going to get people together.
Please...

However, I do argree that more clusting needs to be done. At a
minimum I think the original zones should be clustered and I would also
like to see SI that way.
It's next to impossible to find anyone to play with in the newbie zones anymore. I play on Merlin and Lancelot, so I can't even begin to imagine how bad it is on the other servers. It seems to me moving everyone to one server instead of clustering them would put everyone together so they can find each other more easy.

I'm all for them clustering all of the original servers together, so you guys actually have other people to play with.
Just so they never try to add the classic servers to the mix... we don't want TOA spoiling our fun....

Could be interesting...
I agree that they should keep classic and toa separate - only cuz there are SOME that only will play classic.
Also keep the roleplay and PVP only server and the co-op server separate. Its great that there are other options for those that want them... just unfortunate that some that choose one way spend a lot of time telling everyone that their choiice is the only right choice

It
is very simple. The only reason to go to ToA is for
ML/Artis. These require encounters to be up. It is very
nice when the encounter you need is not up to simple TP to the other
server to see if it is up. It is far better than having to go
back to ToA at another time to do the encounter. Not to mention,
it allows for mutiple raids to be run at the same time. While
rare, sometimes it has been the case where a ML raid had too many
people so it was divided into 2 raids and done on two different servers.
There is no reason at all to cluster ToA zones unless your goal is to
upset those players that are on those servers. It will not change
anything for the new player.
TOA I
TOA II
TOA III
TOA IV
You wouldnt need to visit any channelers or anything. Becouse you would only be on one server (from youre point of view)
Toa instances should be the only place where there is an option, everything else should be clustered.
The houseing issue is ofc something to work with. But one thing that would help is ofc that you have to pay youre rent, and that it can not be drawn from youre merc. Or just make it larger or same sollution as TOA
Resulting in 4 servers
Classic
Normal
Normal
RPG
coop and pvp servers can go down the drain imo
Additional note
take away /level command and buff outside groups from normal servers and i would come back
i like toa, but i hate the empty newbie grounds and the bb's. (yes there is some bb's in classic aswell but it's not a lvl 50 one in a newb group)
You meant to say,
Only because some people will play TOA. Classic owns comparatively to the TOA servers. I have 4-50iews on TOA servers. I wont play them. I like my Gareth and Lamarak characters much better. TOA ruined DAOC. So the only people who play TOA servers as of late are die-hards and botters. The rest of us will enjoy our existence on the classic servers

about a year ago (approx) you had to spend forever doing an encounter that dropped ONE item to be turned in with very hard to find books...
Now the item does not drop - you get credit and all in the group that is the right level or above get credit for the encounter...
Books/ scrolls are much easier to find and for that matter some of the encounters have been made easier.
It also involves Maaster Levels with do involve grouping and a lot of running around to accomplish. The used to be much harder too. You receive abilities after completing master levels.
I've come to think that the complaining about ToA is worse than Toa - esp since many have never gone back to see the changes...
It just adds another aspect of the game for those that want it.
Like those that level a thid toon and play there day after day .. just another aspect of the game - your choice.
Just had to say that I 100% agree with your post, Jeeperz. Of course, I've always been in the minority when it came to TOA. In theory, I think the concept of TOA was fantastic. The Trials were intriguing, and I loved seeing whatever hard work I put into obtaining artifacts, etc. pay off. Sure, I would be frustrated when something DIDN'T work the way it was supposed to, but for me, that happened very infrequently. And now, as you say, the changes that Mythic made to TOA have made things MUCH easier to obtain... but I guess too many people have bad tastes in their mouths from before.
I now play predominantly on Classic servers, but not because of the non-TOA; rather, it's because of the ranged buffs, and because that's where the population is.
Thats a good point, I've never gone back to see how they changed TOA from a few years back....
some things are hard to forgive.....
But I also really like the lack of buffbots on Classic.... biggest reason I promote it so much.
