I dont think we need another server merge, but if we were to merge, and we got to keep the server, I would actually preffer a Test Server to 3 playing servers.  But I will probably be in the minority on that one.

But I seriously dont think they would merge MxOs servers again, they just took our Cinematics and it really would be a kick in the teeth to merge us soon after SMILEY

End of the day, SOE will do whatever is the most cost effective. If game income cant support 3 servers they will no doubt merge, SOE has never gotten rid of an game...look at Tanarus. SOE's first game...they still have a server for it. Its bad rep to actualy close a game. So there should always be a server. Lets just enjoy it while we can. Lets not worry about stuff out of our control.

I like how this man thinks.

More Ideas listed here..

Make ALL pvp FFA

 

make vector FFA

keep only one server a carebear server, the other rppvp and the last one FFA pvp

but if you merge 2 servers ..deffinently make it hostile..FFA even

What about accounts that have all the character slots filled?  Are we going to have 6 chars on 1 sever?  Seems a little unfair to the other server.  But I'd be all for having 12 chars per account SMILEY

If there was to be a merge the most likely option would be recursion / Syntax.  i think i read somewhere once that Vector could never be merged because it wouldnt be fair to the level 50s that had to reach their level in a hostile environment whereas if they brought non hostile 50s over they wouldnt have to go through that.

Personally im indifferent if what way the servers would work out.  Doesnt bother me if the servers hostile or not... ive played on Syntax since day one although i have characters on all servers.  i would say that the syntax community is slightly friendlier than the other two servers.. but thats probably because i dont really know many people on the other two.. i will say though that ive seen a few vectorites come across to Syntax and do nothing but *CENSORED* and flame... although i wont tar every vector player with that brush i still feel syntax has the better vibe.

Anyway... back on topic... id say the merge would happen one day.. like solid though i hope we could keep the server for test purposes.

Vector is a fun loving friendly server.

Anyways lets be honest, we are probably loosing people faster than we are gaining people. Eventually they will need to consider something. I for one would rather have a test server as well so this is my proposal.

Merge Syntax and Recursion into one Server, use the other as a test server. Allow anyone on that new server to move to Vector if they think they are man enough. Lets face it 80% of the game is level 50 as is and leveling on Vector is easy these days compared to old. I won't hold it against someone if they just show up on Vector as a 50. As for slots i'm fine with 6 on the non hostile and only 3 on the hostile one.

Personally, i've always been in the camp against server merges.

But you've gotta admit, its inevitable we'll get to that point and really there are quite a few upsides. Half the trialees i get feedback from complain about seeing hardly anyone around, population would be booming on a single server. Not to mention daily events would have to be held on the same place, meaning theres not as much of a lottery weither you get one or not. Plus the aforementioned arguments for a test server.

So yeah, i really wouldnt mind either way these days.

No guarantees that if they did merge two servers that the third would be used as a test server. As for the suggestion to make them all Hostile, that would interfere with the way people want to play the game. At the moment they have a choice, forced PvP or PvP when they want. I would imagine that forcing pvp on those that really don't like to play the game in that way would mean losing even more people.
