Topic: [388161] Is merging servers possible or an option

The UK server seems to have gone really quiet recently, I don't know if this is the update or why, but it has gone drastically quiet, the map seems so empty too, is there anyway of merging servers together to increase the player base,

No, the logistics for such a thing are quite impossible. Each map is built exactly the same as the other. Every castle space every outpost every Capital and Metro all share the same longitude and latitude. It's been asked about a million times throughout the history of GGE.. They can't migrate castles that share the same space nor their outposts. You are lucking out and have great opportunities for top prizes now. Enjoy...

And, I am really not surprised "you" of all people asked this question.

You really are a troll Arnt you, not surprised me of all people, you think your special, judging by your other comments, in posts telling people it's easy to come top 100 500 25 without spend, you really are a self-righteous troll at times, and yes I know about places on the map, but I'm sure people wouldn't mind being in different places on the map, it will get to the point where there is not enough players on the map for it to work as a game, they will have no choice to merge the servers, it is not impossible, if they can populate the outer realms and beyond the horizons the way they do then I'm sure looking at how the misty outer realms work that they could indeed merge servers, hopefully it's the US one so I can come and say hi to you :P

yes it would be a lot of work to reprogram the map for a merge but it could be done and should be  the U.S. server needs to merge with at less 3 other servers so we can have server wars again. that where fun.

I mean I really don't know. But, I am pretty sure at some point a huge war will kick off at some point. After all, aren't people currently fighting over Morry's last capital in Ever Winter? I know your Alliance had a cap on it last time I went by it.

And, I hardly understand the other guys' point. He complains about prizes being unattainable yets wants to make them even more unattainable by allowing a large more competitive player base to compete with him for them.

You basically have the largest Alliance on the server. So, much so that your Alliance Glitches the might points scoreboard all the time.

But, the days of a large group of Alliance Families uniting are going to be hard to come by. The majority of the leadership in the server knows what happened the last time the too major heads of state cleaned house... one of the destroyed the Grumpy Family in a matter of days. A top 5 Alliance with 3 total Alliances in the top 25 got absolutely destroyed in a matter of days.

The other largest family turned against their largest and most fierce family member. In at least 3 months long war. Trying to dismantle most of them and their subs as a whole. But, later turned the tide of the second server war which your Alliance was one of the groups of to add to its destruction of that "ruling" Alliance in the second shorter-lived server war.

The first server war was 5 years long. Honestly, I don't think we'll ever see anything like that again. Being that there is soo much more for people to do now. The pace of the game is a lot faster. It's not extremely PVP based anymore like it used to be. Every other event used to be full-on PVP. Now, we have the glory events. But, a lot more access to tools and player balance in the game. Where it wasn't just the top player and Alliance getting advancements every single event. Those rare items are actually more accessible. 

It's only a matter of time... before someone wants to go head-to-head for more control and property again.

But, as far as server merge... and any idea of it being "easy" or even accomplishable. I don't really see it. With the way the current update went. It was not a "smooth" transition. By far the worst update as far as bugs and programming issues. I've ever seen in GGE history. They are still ironing out issues with it currently to this day. 

Someday, someone gonna come knocking though and the server will be full of wars again. But, your gonna have to build Allies and have Families like they used to back in the day. There aren't really sides anymore and the majority of Alliances are independent for good reason.
