Looking on the score boards and counting the amount of players who have achievement points and are in an alliance, thus a real active player I found about 1950 players in an alliance, 15% or so of them will be black dots, there is only a player base of around 1600 active people maybe, for a while country that it quite small, infact very small,
When do we say lets merge servers, granted the positions on the map might change, but I don't think people would mind, if you can populate the outer realms, populate beyond the horizons in the way you do then i'm sure after playing the misty outers the way you can take your main castle, that indeed we could merge servers with little changes to the positions on the maps, if we take our main and outposts, and you fit all the players on a new map then I think people would be ok with that, get a new map, Us/UK and repopulate the map with both servers and jumble our main and outposts to make it fit in, I dont mind being any closer or further from alliance members, as long as the position of my outposts to my main remains the same and all the buildings, like taking a misty copy to a new map,
We need to look at the player base here becasue 1600 is very small, and it looks like its falling to pieces with this update, so a merger would infact get it active a little and increase the player base of a server.

Well, I am pretty sure US1 has about 8k-10k active players. Maybe even more. When I look up my name in might ranking I am around 1,600. When I look at my achievement ranking I am around 4k.
If they are going to merge your server they are likely to merge you with another server closer to your country for the reason of Lag and that they are highly populated either. If they were going to merge servers they'd merge you with another dead server or multiple dead servers closer to you to help with lag and repopulation issues.
North American internet is trash, some third-world countries get better connection speeds.
I am not trying to be difficult but it's kinda how it would work.
But, they are never going to merge. Places like Spain and India have been asking for years. So, has Australia. All servers with an extra low population.
Who knows maybe they'll consider it in the future. I just know that in the past it's been a hard "No" and it's not a possibility it's too complicated. ETC... The devs have said these things on "Live Stream" several times.

Yeah I hear ya, they should just merge them all together as one, I'm surprised I though US would have more than that, I suppose it is an 11 year old game now or 12, the UK server does seem small on the map tho thb, and since this update it's like a ghost town, there is literally no battles or anything, I can't understand tho as there is still scores on the events, maybe PvP really is dead now I Dunno, loads are white flagging it hoping for change in protest but nothing will change with the update, we just gota work with it and tweak it, I think it's the straw that broke the camel's back for a lot of players, so much negativity towards it, just seems to quiet and now I've checked on the achievements points board and counted around 1900 2000 that have alliance it's a small umber really for a whole country, I don't know maybe I'm just moaning but it seems strangely quiet these days, I just think of how they can populate a misty outers map and think to myself, well why couldn't this be done, if we was all on one server, it would be crazy like 50,000 players or summit, or even if they just merged the local countries or summit that would be good, but I don't know probably it's not an option then, but I think the developers could do it, well I don't know actually if they could do it hahah, I still haven't got a slider bar for most of my attacks in the attack menu, it vanishes sometimes and i can't see wave 1,2 or 3. bugs everywhere.YourBloodyBase (US1) said:Well, I am pretty sure US1 has about 8k-10k active players.

just a thought if something like that happened then those players who are on the fence will not like it and there would be a mass of players leaving so in the end you would end up with the same amount of players within time as they had with two servers
another reason for players leaving is events would become alot harder to do and get rewards without them players would give up
the point your missing here is why is it so many players have left the gb server over the last three years
its not hard to work out and gge have been told about this many times but never done anything to stop it

Why do you think so many have left the GB server? is it because of the fact that most alliances are just event alliances, and the many get board, theirs only 25 winners in an event, 20 of which only get a look item, top 5 get decoration, I think they should be more generous, especially with the nobility tent, theirs only 1 winner, and the decorations on offer 310 PO, it's not really worth trying, the only ones anyone tries at are the 4000 gold pieces nobility,bazzara (GB1) said:just a thought if something like that happened then those players who are on the fence will not like it and there would be a mass of players leaving so in the end you would end up with the same amount of players within time as they had with two servers

I think it's down to too many back to back events, and lack of generocity for tierd prizes and most get boared as they have no chance in compeating against big spenders and thus cannot progress.
why do you think so many have left? I'm fairly new to it only started march this year.

its more the opposite i think
events are a big problem for new members , returning players and those with not enough silver coins to replace those used
if you dont have the tools you cant play the event so players are getting bored not doing anything
to collect enough tools silver coins im down to doing every 3rd event now im not saying things should be easy but you should be able to collect enough to do events
also although they still do it classic mode is imposible to do now and win the po item many players did like doing that

Yeah I only do classic mode for nomads, get around 11k gold in it, and a 2500 po decoration, but its the 158 base food tiems i try to get, 25th is fairly easy, about 70k kahn to get 20th place for a safe possition, but probably impossible without some kind of spend, but i see what you mean with the tools etc.. you cant realy do well in this game without spend, even the glory you collect the kings banners and maybe the cheeper horsetails, but you need to save up 3 or 4 events, hard to progress, I usually spend £25 once a month on a 200% prime, 159k rubys, and try and make it last the whole month, but its hard, best way is to get the royal chests for nomads and spend the kahn tabs on as many horsetails as possible, seems the most economical way to play the game tbh, still £25 every month on a game is a lot to some people, where as on the uk server in leg 950 people get 1.5 billion glory so yeah your best getting as much decoration as possible coz when you hit 950, you aint getting any coz those players must be spending £25 to £100 on every events, its ridiculess, Im only leg 255 so just tryng to get the decoration while its cheep, haha cheeper i mean,bazzara (GB1) said:its more the opposite i think

and tbh Ive not seen there usual 4 wave look item for 999 rubys, that was pretty good, you can get 999 rubys hitting towers etc..
Progression seems to be an issue if you dont spend really, they need to do something. I think the progression is ridiculsy slow in this game, leg 650 for mead, I can see why many ruins are around leg 100 to 200 coz they get boared wating

yes agree
for players the po items are more important thus classic mode is better
its having a target and being able to achieve something each time which is needed
also if you spend money then that needs to be spent wisely
what ive found
i miss events because of no tools but i play outers a lot more now
if you buy rubies then do it over there as they come back to green after the event a small amount will help you win construction tokens which is a bonus plus you win troops which then can be used in events on green so its far better value some outers don't even take to much work
I've never bought troops with rubies or silver coins so that then lets you use them for other things
missing a few events also gives you time to play storm at a slow place you could win two po items there each event
its making a note of how many tools /chests you need and collect enough before you do the event
even the reaper event gives you a nice po item
these things give you more interest it takes some planning out but it helps in the long term
hope this helps

Having read the above - one of the main reasons that the uk server has shrunk is GGs forcing unpopular updates through with little commiunication - took 2 weeks for a guide to be produced on how the new system works - I've been playing over 9 years and this might be the final straw - I can't use the scroll without pain so am phyisically unable to do mant attacks - the arrows don't work either !
when i started playing there were over 20k active players on the uk server (with loot) - we lost 6 accounts from one family after one update - mum dad and 4 kids on a home server all playing - had a holiday and ggs introduced the Fi update and we as an alliance couldn't support all the attacks - they logged on to fires and the kids quit so did the adults !
The "teasers gave us no real information about the update and it's actually a totally different type of game - am going to dust off my cossacks disc and see if i can get it working !
oh and there is still the problem of multi's which is exasperated by lower numbers of actives !
