I wonder whether improving the "general experience" of both the spanish and portugese community is the primary reason for this merger. I was always under the impression that Piranha was managed by another company (similar to GameSamba) and if that is indeed true, I'm curious as to if there's an underlying cause for this.

In any case, I frequently hear from Ra players that their server is full so I hope these additional instances you're planning on adding actually plan to address the increase of population,not only in the warzone, but in grinding spots as well. If not, it's possible Haven might see an increase of Spanish / Portuguese players as excess users attempt to leave RA. After all, a decent amount of players on Raven were unhappy RA players.

I also hope that RA is a substantially stronger machine than Haven is. The first days following the Raven and Horus merger were hell in terms of constantly skyrocketing ping and frequent disconnections. What I'm most concerned about is what happens if RA's population decreases significantly due to heavy traffic on the server (similar to Raven + Horus merger). You'll have a major problem then...

....especially since your implementation of instances are just oh so amazing when it comes to building the population. Good luck

Probably the worst thing you could do to this game.

Hurr Durr we need 500 people online daily, lets merge the two most stupidly overpop servers and make an even bigger overpop server which would only cause more lag and complaints.

Like ichigo said, what about haven? Don't we matter?

Why can't we merge with Gamigo - Valhalla, Haven, Nemon.. make Nevalla ^_^ or something..

Haven is slowly dying, the only thing this is going to bring is Haven people quitting for a better server or quitting altogether. This game isn't all about Spanish people. You do know that, right?


Spanish people are so unbelievably favoured on this game, and why?

everyone seems fairly negative but i think its a good move.

better to be doing something than nothing and good for the update from devs on progress and on how they think going forward.

After any significant server merge there will always be lag. The internet is composed of little learning routers and when capacity/connections change, the IP routing has to be relearned all over again. Will always be some weeks of lag unless you spend enormously for server and datapipe infrastructure. NGD should post about stuff like this if they know about it. EVE Online's developers always post about their technical obstacles.

You should stop making comparism between Regnum and some other MMos.
Quite honestly the negativity is about Haven, not the merge.
What will happen to us?
Is there any plans for this small popular-based server?
Is there anything planned to improve the gameplay? Bug fixes?
Any update in favour of Haven?
We need more communication in the English forum.

People, we're just informing for you to know what happened, even if Haven is not involved.

Also, please stop the unfounded rumours. The reason of this merge is simple: Piranha community was affected with a end of contract with BoaCompra, which handled it. If you go and see the Portuguese forum, you'll see the cry for help. Ra doesn't need users, it has very good CCUs but we just can't do anything else but merge and make their game experience enjoyable. Please, let's (for one moment at least) be a bit less egotistic. We DON'T deny that Haven could use more population and with bug fixes and balance and new RvR features it would raise a bit. But that's a topic for another thread, isn't it?

If we didn't say a thing about this, what could happen? A thread asking for more information?

I think the overall complaint is about the reason given, that 500 players online at all times is best for overall experience..
its a blow in the face, because most Haven players dont believe we will ever get past 100/200. And those numbers allone look like unchallengable mountains

EDIT: We did get an update so its sortoff great, but every update that WILL happen (dragons/merge) wont effect Haven all that much
and with the recent ping problems.. haven players are a bit on edge

Yeah, it was an unfortunate comment. But truth be said: we almost did nothing for Ra population to be what it is (of course we do to maintain that numbers), but we did A LOT for Haven population to grow. We maintain the numbers, but we failed to make them grow. (Please, don't give us again the bug/RvR/features/gameplay/wesuck reasons, we know them). But failing is not making us give up, as it is known.

We're investigating that. Hopefully after the next update we will fix those issues.

Thanks for the info and update Adrian.

Any good news for the game is good news for the whole community, regardless of which server.

But you can surely see the frustration from a Haven players point of view? We are suffering many problems, all of which you already know about of course. We just want our server to receive updates/plans as well as the others. Maybe you could create a separate thread from here with your plans for Haven over the next few months? I think the entire Haven population would appreciate that following on from this thread and server merge.

Regards,

ShadowForce.
