(Everything below is from the perspective of playing in Alsius on RA.)

Apart from what all Irsh said being true, I faced problems initially because of lack of commerce tab in warzone. You find more more at realm gate than at CS sometimes because they want to buy/sell And if you don't get into a kind clan which can lend you good items, you're in for a long term play with market items or drops.

Because good items are traded only in mags and mags are a thing that you find once in blue moon at RA. There is a separate sect of people there who do nothing but mag hunt all the time they're on lol. Without special mag-hunts, I usually have around 20-30 mags by lvl 48 on Haven. But I got like 4 mags on my lvl 47 toon in RA

Also, RA is not for the chatty types. That's a very good feature of RA's populace. They talk less and fight more. I know there are a few people who come online just to talk and chat with their virtual friends and the community (nothing wrong with that I guess). But for people like these, RA will be not as entertaining as Haven is, at times.

And ganking. God. I tried to grind in trelle beach at lvl 46. I got ganked 6 times in 10 minutes at some times. In Haven, I rarely get ganked at trelle beach. As errei mentioned, RA is a huge target ground for hunters and marksman.

Overall, to conclude, my experience on RA was a very refreshing, enthusiastic and encouraging one. I'd have left for RA already, but I don't want to grind all over again and I don't want to leave my clan and Alsius community on Haven.

So, yeah, if the servers are merged, it'll be like a dream come true for me.

It's nice someone actually gave it a proper try, and your findings are similar to mine. I liked CoR for its RvR, and found the realm chat distracting on Haven and often full of shit, so Ra is kind of perfect for me. The commerce chat on Haven was usually unrelated to selling items so I generally did not check it very often. Players on Ra gather around the gate inside the wall just to sell and buy items, so you know what you're getting. There is no shit, just trading and war.
Without a good clan it can be a lonely road, but if you find some friends on there it can be a load of fun. Yes, I'm using dropped items, but with the amount of people on there it doesn't really matter, and you barely notice the difference. The other upside to the large population at wars is, you don't really need to grind that often. Join in war and level quickly that way. I made two levels quite easily doing this without even noticing at level 45.
Having said all that, I still believe the OP to be full of crap.

The population in Haven is low. It could be a better idea to merge it with
another low populated server.
