To all players from haven&ra <important>

[Blackdragonight]

I want this

[Recoil]

Sure, do it.

Merge Ra, Haven, Nemon, Valhalla.

[Valour]

I don't know if there is any official truth the origins of this thread, but I would like the option to be able to move server at the very least if I was able to request for it.

I have recently created a new character in Alsius Ra for fun as the gameplay in Haven isn't good for me (this is a game for fun after-all).

I would be open to the idea of a merge, but I wouldn't want to be part of realm imbalance by using my Haven Ignis chars in ra Ignis (overpopulated in warzone), I would want the option of a realm choice for my account if it were to be moved.

[Raindance]

Good future for Regnum. I am all for it, but NGD should make it possible to somehow split (but not too much) the two communities, for example two different realm chats in the inner realm area (but no realm chat in warzone obviously). Otherwise the English community would slowly die out.

Btw, can we see any official response/comment by NGD? I would hate to get my hopes up all for nothing. And change this into a poll, perhaps.

[Vincent_Valentine7]

All for a merge,might start playing if it happens.

Here's my 2-cents blast-from-the-past:

There's nothing standing in the way of such a merger ... except NGD, GameSamba, Gamigo & the conundrum of their financial concerns, control, proprietary rights & responsibilities, exact expenses & profit %'s, etc. I don't expect such a merge anytime soon, but who knows? A Nemon/Valhalla merge is distinctly possible tho. (since Gamigo owns both server-bases)

Well, given all that's been said, all that's been tried, would NGD be willing to begin negotiations & talks with it's remaining distribution partners (GameSamba & Gamigo) & with the commmunities as well of the servers these partners host (Haven, Nemon & Valhalla) with the expressed intention of a triple-merge in order to boost population so that RA & 'Hamonla' at least resemble each other in terms of online population? Can NGD, GameSamba & Gamigo actually reach an accord on profit & power sharing for the good of their gaming communities? This could & should at least be considered & here's why...

Game as it is, was & is designed for RA, a large online population server. The merger of RA with Piranha means it's even bigger & that just widens the gap between RA & all other CoR servers. Either a merger of Haven/Nemon/Valhalla must be done to keep ongoing & changing game balance & game invasion mechanics functionally effective ... OR ... this game must be newly coded in some way to address the difference in server populations, so that CoR is scaleable (variable strength guards/doors & variable length timers) based on existing online populations. The current one-size-fits-all-servers game-model just isn't working well, at least not on Haven.

It's almost certain to happen; we're at 4 servers now & counting down; another ball will drop eventually, then another; it's just a matter of when....

Only way it won't happen is for Gamigo &/or GameSamba to no longer want to have their servers running, but also don't want to allow NGD use of their proprietary player-databases (& only if the contracts with NGD allow such a petty & vindictive option).

Merge pls, ty

[TryHarder]

Merging Haven and Ra would be one of the dumbest decisions for RO, ever, right next to the WM update. A better decision for the communities would be to merge Nemon, Valhalla, and Haven

[Wi3ld]

Sure, go for it. Haven's dwindling population has made the game even less tolerable anyway. Maybe this well make it worth staying on longer than five minutes at a time.

I agree with this too, but hasn't it been said before that gamigo doesn't plan on merging with haven?
