Not in the mood for INCREASING server instability. All I have to say.

Considering the amount of people on Recursion I see active, I'd say about 20-30 people max you're adding to Syntax.

Not that I play it but EvE online has one world server, it's one of the more popular MMOs on the market.
As far as server instability goes, no. Just no.
The servers at the moment are UNDER utilized, they're coasting on EZmode because there are so few people on them.
MxO has seen and handled higher server pops than what we're talking about by merging Recursion and Syntax.

The best argument I've seen for not wanting this is over-crowded Events. But bare in mind with a merge suddenly the liaison's have doubled, the requirement for someone other than Rarebit to play LE characters becomes essential. Multiple Org events happening at once, multiple player events, no one can be everywhere at once, I'm sure you'll find it wouldn't be that bad.

Rarebit would could do the same number of events, but more people would get to participate, and there would be something to do every other weekday.

Syntax dosent need to merge with recursion...recursion just needs to become the new test server and recursionites can pick either vector or syntax.

The bold part is the exact reason why I wouldn't like to see it happen. The best reason why I've seen for it to take place is perhaps PvP may be a bit better.

As for the rest, if Rarebit wasn't playing all the main characters who would? As much as I trust players to be liaison characters, I don't like the idea of someone who doesn't have a fully contracted job with MxO playing the main characters. This includes continuity, the same person playing the same character in the same way, a way that Rarebit has established already. Without a proper in house team, big events as you suggest would be open to error and miscommunication and could possibly deviate from the story already preplanned by Rarebit at the beginning of the update.

Vast.

Metropolis.

 

EDIT: Here are the synonyms I was referring to, in case you guys missed them:

Mega.

City.

Put those together and you have Mega City! Addition is tough, I know.

 

I will shoot whoever even mentions "Capital City."

I'm one of those people for just merging all 3. Recursion and yes my beloved Vector are ghostowns anymore.

The games population is never going to increase,it's a fact,might as well make things fun for us again.

I love pvp but would be willing to give up a bit to get a game with a population, I kind of like the downtown being hostile idea,would go well with the mxo story.

If downtown isn't acceptable give us other things to do in 01 to make it more of an attraction.

Just my 2 cents.

Trust me, if there was a Merge you will see more PvP than you've ever seen in about 2 years.

The clash of Electronic Egos would be epic.

Regardless of anyone's opinion in this thread, it still remains that MxO probably has the lowest population that it has ever had. The issues of conflicting egos and drama ratio won't matter if we have no one else to interact with.

Unless anyone in this thread has a better idea that requires little to no funding to bring in a massive amount of subscriptions, this seems like the only viable option to rejuvenate the social aspect of this game that anyone would even begin to consider.

Well, if they can't get character transferring to work...then I dunno if a merge could happen.
