The only completely fair and practical solutions seem to be the same
1. Offer HW players a free transfer to another PVE server (AV/CH, since they have lower population/activity compared to TR) this gives those servers a small boost and allows the hardcore anti-pvp players to play the game as they intended. However this will come with the issue of names, in which they'd be under the same rule of a regular server transfer, name taken = change upon arrival. It's not perfect but in the end it's either sacrifice your name or your gameplay style, at least gives them a choice.
(THEN MERGE, AND...)
2. Offer free transfer for a limited time (1-2 weeks?) upon opening of the new server to all players and mark it as the 'recommended' server for new players. Hopefully this will counter the negative effect of HW players transferring to PVE by replacing the population with others who wish to either 'go home' or have a fresh start. (+ some additional opening events to draw players in)
(...)
To those saying PVP is easily avoidable, maybe so, but exclusively PVE players shouldn't even have to worry about it, it's also not a 100% guarantee without some sort of toggle/buff which isn't fair. Imagine if MT were being switched to PVE, it's not their play style or what they signed up for which would be unfair without some alternative.
Very good idea, because I don't want my PvP chars to be on a PvE realm.

Hey there. well, I hate PVP too, and even at 65 it bugs me. I prefer my solution.
PVP is for everyone who wants PVP from the start, how? We give the pvp player a new sign or something when they received their outlaw skill, and any other players which never received that skill can not be pvped.
This can be a great plan, those pvp players can have their pvp from the start and do what they wanna do just like other pvp server, and pve players can do what they were doing before without any trouble just like before.
PS: I hope with the poor English I have you get the point :chuffed:
Have you tried with PvP flag on?
If not, try it.
If it's true, let's change ALL servers to PvP! Or all to PvE! If OWPvP doesn't have impact, it shouldn't be any problems, but ask ppl from TR if they like idea of changing TR into PvP server, I bet not all of them will be happy, the same goes with MT, ppl won't be happy about changing this server to PvE.
Now it's the same thing, we just don't want to be on PvP server, that's why we chose PvE server.
And tbh, I don't think that OWPvP won't have impact on new server, ther will be a lot of TROLLS just going around and killing ppl from HW for fun, cause we are not used to OWPvP.
Which server is going to become the next Highwatch first?
1. CH
2. AV
only EME knows the loads of the servers, but the population of this game its not growing (just the opposite), we need 4 servers 2 PVP and 2 PVE:
1. MT PVP
2. TR PVE
3. "Hybrid" 65PVP (LoT - VoT)
4. PVE "RP" (ch - av -hw)
And one more thing, I like to stay in Channel 1 because I like to see people running around the places. That's the point of MMORPG isn't it? What's the point of changing channel and be alone in the channel? If I want to do that, I might as well play FF7 again.
P.S.: I do like the idea of merging, but if it's going to merge into a PVP server (I don't care if it's only exclusive to lvl 65), I do not want that. If I want to experience PVP, I would have join a PVP server in the first place.
I know it's not really a big deal, but I just don't like how I am being forced to change the way I play when clearly, I chose this particular server because I wanted to play it this way and not that way.
That's plain stupid. If people chose a PvE realm, it is for a good reason. Why should they have to change channels (like the player pk'ing being too dumb to find out of how to change channel too?) to be able to quest in peace.
And personally, I don't see why I should wait to 65 to be able to PvP. What's the point on being on a PvP-server if you can't PvP before max-level?

Who's forcing you to PvP?
As i said before: You can PvE on PvP server, but can't PvP on PvE server. (Duel doesn't count since it's just 1v1)
Totally. Just what I had wanted to say.
'
the guys who want to kill me because i am afk to dancing with my cute elin in open area
and you dont understand you say it is not so bad to force highwatch players to change channel, because their server is pvp
so do you will share the same opinion if one day enmasse turn mount tyranna into pve server ?
you can pvp in pve server, gvg or invitation to pvp
No, you can't PvP on PvE server. GvG or Duel? You can just surrender in GvG and decline duel.
Will adding LoT and VoT to HW's population fix HWs endgame issues though? If there's not enough endgame players on both LoT and VoT to do stuff as it is, then it's not like magically with a merge people will be clamoring all day long for the hardest dungeons suddenly. If there's 20 people on each who have cleared SSHM, 10 willing to do DSU, that'll contribute only a little to fixing HW's endgame issues.
