    Idea of merge is good, it REALLY SHOULD be done. BUT if you will do this 65PVP server, I'd probably leave Tera. It's not about impact of OWPVP, it's about I started playing on HW, cause I HATE PvP, I stopped playing my last MMO cause of PvP. So if you want to marge PvP servers and PvE, do one of solutions people metioned before:

    1. Equal Channel divide to PvP/PvE (and make CH1 PvE, cause it's default channel).
    2. Free server transfer to PvE or PvP server.
    3. Button/option to make you immune to attacks of players, like you don't want to PvP, you are not pvping.

    That's all I wanted to say about it.

    The server transfer would be there for you to move to a PVE server. And the thing about free world pvp is finding people to PVP, so the main channel should be available for PVP. Most of the stuff to be done Without pvp at LV 65 in open world is simply Grind and achievement hunt, which is best placed in Secondary channels since you most likely will grind alone or bring a party with you anyways. it's not like you will be pre 65 trying to find people walking around to party with. (since pvp wont be enabled under 65).
  • Ppl who want pve server will get a free transfer? Many ppl dislike the idea of pvp.

    What happens if people have characters on all the servers on one account, what happens then?


    *and the character slots are full on their main server.

    I honestly don't get why you guys want only one server of each, besides, the discussion is about the merge of those 3 specific servers, TR, MT and CH are known to be working over their recommended usage anyway - I don't know how is AV doing, though.

    Back on topic, the main reason people keeps leaving both LoT and VoT is the low population for endgame, at least those two servers would benefit from merging; if only LoT and VoT merge I gues leaving the low-level PvP would be an option -for those crying about it, that is, and let's be honest, the current speed of leveling pretty much killed OW PvP in sub-65 zones.

    Now, if HW players are willing to merge with the other two is another issue. It would benefit them in the form of having more items in the broker, a more dynamic server economy and perhaps more players for running content in general. In LoT at least OW PvP is limited to random players from the big guilds chasing each other in Arcadia -in specific spots-, and the ocasional GvG, but that's all, since currently the only OW content worth doing is IoD I think you'll be mostly safe, however, if the idea still bothers you, the options are either not to include HW in the merge, of grant transfers out of HW before EME proceeds with the merging.
  • PLEASE YES. HIGHWATCH NEEDS THIS SO BAD. any pve ppl dat have an issue with it because they don't like PVP wouldn't really be affected. Quest and Grind zones are safe zones. Make Island of Dawn a Safezone and everyone should b happy. Maybe even channel 2 being a PVE safe zone (except for GVG). If that isn't enough then the option to server transfer to a pve server is there :V but WE NEED IT so badly. we are dying Q_Q HAAALP. don't leave this server to scrub pve ppl dat want it the same just to "afk". That is the problem with the server. Nobody does anything and we need people to run PVE stuff with anyways. Get more players capable of endgame. MERGE NOW PLZ!
  • why not fuse pvp servers with pvp, and pve with pve?

    NO! Plz, no @Treeshark
    Don't make it a pvp server... even if its only at high lvl. I transfered all my chars to HW because it was a pve sever. Expended all my gold buying char slot. I was from LOT and it was cancer trying to enjoy events in open world. People with the best gear holding places to farm stuffs. I hate those random pvp encounters. I like to pvp when i want.. Dueling or BGs.
    if you gonna merge HW make it with a PVE.
    And we gonna have to buy Char slots again? With the current price? No gold for this. :(
    I rather stay in HW.
  • I used to call HW my home from its creation up until January, when I transferred to MT. While I can see how people from a pve server are concerned about PK and the hassles that come with it, I can tell you that it's really not a big deal. I've spent hours afk in Velika Outskirts and I'll come back and find my toon undisturbed. The vast majority of people can't be bothered to pk unless you give them a reason to, mainly just don't be a [filtered] to someone and they won't be a [filtered] to you. 85% of the time, the worst you will come back to is being pulled into the river. And if you do get pk'd, big deal. Just res out, change channels if you feel you need to, and continue on your day.

    It seem like server merger is inevitable with recent population decline, but forcing pve user to fit in pvp is rather brutal or a dishonest act if you ask me.
    Like every player, I spend my money, time and effort on building my TERA experience. The whole reason I started on a pve server is because it's a stated preference, open world role playing without concern of pvp restriction.
    Today you can try to force us fitting into a pvp server, then tomorrow you can also IP block a certain country or region for your own good.
    A big part of your company reputation and history is build on the trust and support of your playerbase. Be fair and work hard on improve instead of fixing problems is all I have to say.

    Im pretty sure there are people who are willing to help you, whether be it guildies, friends, etc. The only time I have ever seen tryhard trolls tjat channel switch to PK was when farming BAMs and TAR was a thing. I'm also sure if requested, Treeshark and company might add additional channels on the specific regions PvE people would want.

    As for IoD BAMs, farming them in a party of 5 is silly. If you do IoD in a party for the sake of socializing, then cool. Though, as it is now, there are 10 channels in IoD. Even in MT, there are more than enough channels during peak hours to complete all IoD dailies with no problem.

    I have characters on Highwatch, and I avoid pvp like the plague as the type of people it generally attracts are not people I tend to like.. so I personally am not happy about this.
    Why not merge HW with CH or TR and merge the 2 pvp servers together?
  • I haven't read through all of the responses (there are so many!), but I did skim over a few that touched on HW players not wanting to be part of a PvP server. A solution to this might be to open free transfers from HW to AV for players who do not want to be merged with LoT/VoT. This could be a free "transition" period lasting for a week, and it would offer a second options for players completely against PvP servers. I have been checking AV off and on for the last month or so, and I think this might also help a lot of the complaints regarding lack of activity from players on the server. But other than that, I do like the 65PvP server idea.
