To all players from haven&ra <important>

[xayne]

I won't play any longer if we are merged. I like a smaller population.

The way I see it CoR has one USP over other MMORPGs: the RVR. But unless there's a significant change to the defence of forts, castles, gates, gems and nobles the RVR will fall apart with a overpopulated server. In a 'large' battle on Haven Syrtis might get 20 or so people at a fort, and Alsius and Ignis seem to be the same. This is fine, it at least means a GC takes 30 - 60 seconds to die, so the defending realm has a chance to rush in and either engage or CC the enemy zerg. If too many players are at one fort then the GC will die quicker. Which makes the GC less important in the battle, which changes the battle dynamics. That's just one example where things would have to be changed.

That being said, I would welcome a larger population as it would mean more constant war and less waiting for enough people to be online or w/e.

Also one last thought. If the number of players on each side increases dramatically, the number of damaging cc spells that can be cast at any second will increase as well. So that give the potential for a large enough group of locks to spam frozen storm and wipe out a zerg, so CCs will need to be changed, and potentially everyones HP will need multiplying.

I like the idea, it will be funniest than now, but maybe the Ra server will be overpopulated...
However, I miss some people that were playing at Ra and now in Haven, and I accept to play with them again!

PD: Welcome back to the Ra Znurre!!

(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.

Anyhow... I don´t know... If Ra gets merge with Haven some players will quit, (just like happened when Horus was merged with Raven, and when Piranha was merged with Ra) some others will come back...
I like Haven because I can grind with no (or few) worries, but there are way less players than Ra. I like Ra because there are lot of players and good wars happen, but you cant grind ¬¬ Ignis is always in Alsius OC ¬¬ And I hate it... So, whenever I wanna grind, I go to Haven and hopefully there is war Whenever I wanna war, I go to Ra, and hopefuly I can grind... So, if they mix them... War will be nice but grinding will be a pin in the ass... But, since I have alraedy tons of toon lvl 60 I prefer servers to be merged
So, merge them ¬¬

RA has Spanish majority...80% speaks Spanish and don't know English at all. IMO language barrier is a big issue if Haven and RA merge. I moved to Horus from RA couple years ago due to huge lag in the event of invasion and fort wars and due to the language barrier in trading item, war communication etc.

RA and Haven would never merge cuz of language.

actualy, considering the amount of shit we see in realm chats, i suppose the lack of comunication could save a bunch of neurons which usualy die due to the imbecility that is said every minute in any realm chat.

So yeah the diff languages could be a good thing lolololol
