Server Merge :D

US players from Haven are leaving to Ra anyway, if you merge with Ra, then we end-up in Ra, If you don't merge with Ra, these players will go to Ra themselves period.

Why not give something to EU players ? I don't want to pretend that I would not prefer EU ping, not to hurt someone's feelings.
You might hate me guys, but I would really like Haven to be Vanhalla and be on EU location.

I guess players having 30+ boss rings and 30+ magna weapons would scream the most, as they would definitely benefit from merge with Ra ($$$ cha ching).

But if only option is Ra+Haven, than I don't care do whatever you want.

I am speakless friend, the idea sounds not bad but then move full haven to eu i dont want to lose sll my friends there tbh.

I added few sentences.

1. Merge Haven and Ra
2. Give scroll to change server from Ra to EU for some time, like 1 month if players don't like Ra

I think everyone would be happy about it ? NGD did this in the past, when some players could decide where they go.

Just throwing this one out there.

I'm starting to think that this should be handled with extreme care. This means we maybe should offer a different solution to everyone: clans and individuals.

Let's suppose we would move players from Haven to Ra. Valhalla stays where it is and becomes the EU server. Ra becomes US server.

I insist, I am supposing. This is completely hypothetical.

We should:

- Ask clans individually to which server they would want to go. Making sure every member agrees.
- Ask individuals the same thing.
- Establish quotas for doing this. If 50 players from Haven move to US, 50 players could move from US to EU.
- The rest of Haven could move freely to EU.
- Players should group up to make sure who doesn't want to lose contact with who. The more information we have, the least chances we have to ruin the community.

This should be handled manually and case by case. The important thing is not to affect Ra at all because right now it is stable and with an optimum amount of activity and we don't want to break that.

Hey Adrian
First of all I am glad that you understand us. And I am also happy that you want to change something too. I am open for every offer. I just want action and fun. I dont mind to play on ra and I am sure if we do a voting then it will work. Would be cool if you could do an voting in the next few days. I know my Clan would love to move to ra.

And do you have enough hands for that? I dont remember the last time i saw an active GM or GC log in, at least in alsius haven.
Maybe you could temporarily choose more gm's and gc's from haven for every realm alike that are willing to help and being active in this case.
Because doing this manually for either you or leily will be time taking, and i am sure that NGD should not have any more delay or distractions from the core updates. So active temporary gm's and gc's can be helpful

Mhm if I understand this right. Only 50 players would be able to go to US server? Also when you say rest of Haven could move freely to EU does that mean it’s a limited number like give & take. I like the idea of asking each player directly about who actually wants to go to which server. Especially since most clans are close with their members.

*Still hypothetically*

It's not about having the hands or not. If we do this, we must face this as we can. It may sound like a lot of work but we will set a structure on how the requests should be done and most of that work could be on your side.

It's not that only 50 players could move. I assume that many more would like to move to Ra and I also assume that not a lot would want to move from Ra to EU. But that will be accounted if we get a complete list of who wants to do what.

What worries me is the fact that many of the players that are inactive can be left out of this process, even if we send a newsletter for giving them a heads up, many could lose their chance to state a decision before anything could happen.

*Supposedly!*

Be careful, this has not been a decision yet. We're just debating on supposed ideas. Please invite to the debate, not to start any process
