Spend golds on gear? on CH, wot is this madness? Goldz is only for pantsu.
plus i kind of want to see the absolute [filtered] show that would be independent vs limited edition
people were hoping that the consoles would help with population , but sadly that wont be the case.
as someone said earlier, let all the people leave ch and they will have it all to themselves, I will be there as well lol.
You're not wrong, merging us all would not fix core problems with the game. But for those of us who continue to play despite these problems, getting to actually play in a living world would be nice.
bhs doesn't have to give out any drops or rewards for the dungeons like they do when an event is going on. and then people could run it more than 3 times, but they don't get anything but the learning from it. crafting...why have production points if crafting is useless. also, bring back the way to get items so you can do the yellow quests in velika for the hats and all. maybe bring back owpvp in the pvp servers but limit it to within 5 levels.
there are little things like these that could really bring back life to tera, and I know they still have the files floating around somewhere. I just feel like bhs could at least give these things back to eme, tera eu, tera jap, and let them decide if they want to add it back into the game in their region or not.
so what if it causes problems with the game, its not like we don't have d/c and lag already.
buy time
Well, because the less number of servers they have, the more likely they are to run into overflow cases. For example, the most recent move, they collapsed three servers into one (one of the three was newer, and the other two were much-less populated than CH is now), but they also offered free transfers to a second. So, the percentage of people who had maxed out their characters on all three source servers, *and* on all the destination servers was not going to be high -- probably less than 3%, if that. But now, as more time has passed, more people have more characters on more servers. If you collapse them into "one or two worlds" as you're suggesting, the percentage of accounts affected would be much higher.
Besides that, you can't "write a ticket over it" anyway. There is no way at this time to rebind cash shop cosmetics from one character to another, and it's not a service the support team generally offers. Maybe they could make a special exception, but just the logistics of how to do it will be a disaster: Before the merge, people would have to take the items off their to-be-deleted characters and put it in their bank, then move it to the inventory of the character who they want to have inherit the items, then support would have to go through each character's inventory and rebind each object one-by-one (assuming it matches the race/gender of the character). Nevermind the risk that people forgot to do it before the deadline (once you exceed the cap, you can't enter until you delete excess characters, though you can play games with the delete timer), moved an item to the wrong character by accident, the inability to move things like mounts, etc.
My point is not that they would never or should never merge servers again -- some day they probably will inevitably do it. But it's not a trivial undertaking. I don't think their reason for not merging them is because they somehow need server transfer money. The reason for charging money for server transfers in the first place is as a disincentive for transferring, not to be a profit center. Even if you took money out of the equation entirely, it'd still be something requiring careful consideration.
just because some players have a different playstyle than others , doesn't mean that they are garbage. some rp in ch is actually good if people took the time out and read what they write. seeing how there isn't much to tera as far as the lore and other things besides grinding for the newest gear or leveling the flavor of the month, immersing one's self into the game and creating a fantasy world within the game is fun. the garbage people also spend a lot of money in the cash shop to either dress up or get the latest mount to help with the rp. also many of us garbage players, play on different servers also and buy for that one as well. many times we run our stuff on other servers and use ch to actually enjoy the game and is able to take advantage of the environment for our rp and not be bothered or have to worry about bothering other players.

Thats nice but most elin players do dress up across all servers. Rp I wont judge but leave it where it belongs on the rp server.
99% of tera's entire playerbase is garbage, statistically speaking. you're probably included in that 99%, statistically speaking.
Not an opinion.
Also some of the best RP came out of Mount Tyrannas, not that you've been around long enough to know that....
no offense to ur ego or anything but a good chunk of the playerbase that wasn't garbage has already left the game. even on MT and TR.
