    I really don't understand why there is even a limit on the number of character per server. It has no effect on server load because even if you have 100 characters, you can only play 1 at a time. All they have to do is remove the character limit per server, allow duplicated character names but use a unique account id number instead, and merge all the servers to one or two.

    When you play an MMO, you expect the world to have a presence. Tera lacks any sort of presence open world and in cities.

    A complete merge would solve that.

    No, it wouldn't. You'd just have even more people packed into Highwatch. Presence is added to an mmo by actively involving the open world and making people reach places to get things. It's how it was before, but apparently the players themselves deemed it too much running around, and preferred to linger in the highest level hub. And then again, only a small portion of Highwatch is being populated by players.

    Apex is making people run around again, but this will be temporary as it's not part of dailies.

    People are asking for servers merge from 1 year, but nothing happend
    My best suggestion is...
    if you are in AV / FF / CH and you wanna continue tio play Tera and have fun,
    Buy a server transfer and go in MT/TR.

    Why would I do that when I'm happy where I am now (that being CH)? My fun has nothing to do with the population density and everything to do with specific elements in the game proper.

    if eme had a server merge without having an unlimited character amount per server, and people couldn't bring their stuff there, then tera would lose quiet a bit more players, and not gain any new players after the affected players posted online about how they lost their characters and items due to a forced server merge because other players wanted to show off their cute names and items.
    as I said before, I would be ok with a server merge as long as all my characters and all my items could go with me. as far as names go, If I had to create new names, that wouldn't be a problem.
  • tisnotmetisnotme ✭✭✭✭
    kinda the same all my paid for stuff on all my alts is my priority if I loose that that's whats going to p!ss me and stop things , I don't have any real special names but I would hate having to rename them all but if had to I would , but my time in a server wouldn't increase if I had less servers as the time I spend in other servers now would end up else where so id be playing less tera but the same in that on server
    eg:- if I play now for half an hr per server I currently play 2.5hrs give me less servers ill still onlu give half an hr per server I'm on
    and there is on server I'm not all that interested in whilst theres three I do utilize heaps even tho I do keep somewhat active in all five atm

    I would like to see what someone from eme has to say on this subject. if they are planning a server merge in the future, then I hope they take our ideas into consideration. if they don't have any plans for server merges at all, then I would like for them to come in here and tell us and then delete any and all new posts about server merges.

    Make friends and this trouble will vanish itself. People are so unfriendly and toxic, so impatient to others and willing to prove how high up they are above everyone else that I don't wonder they have such issues.

    I have no issues with any dungeons with any char of any class on CH. Many times I was invited to 5 stars. I just don't have net and ping for that. Sadly.

    But some people care more about their basic three word names than an active lfg, pls understand, it's not possible :(

    But honestly, they should just introduce cross server lfg to please everyone. Merging dead servers won't solve much, usually it just creates another dead server.

    Cross server LFG is a pretty good idea but it probably require too much work from BHS and we all know efficient and quickly they get things done.

    I think most people object to server merges is either 1) they want to keep their character names, and 2) they have too many characters and would need to delete some if a server merge happens.

    But this can be easily resolved by removing the cap on character limit and allow duplicate character names. Allowing duplicate names also prevent people from hoarding names too.

    Another issue is "what will happen with all the cosmetics that can't fit in your bank tabs, wardrobe, inventory and pet banks from your character's left after the merge?".

    Some people have mex characters with lots of cosmetics that won't fit if server merge come to be a thing.
