  • What if we merge AV and HW? I am on AV a lot and it can have a merge with HW and then we merge VOT and LOT.

    I think this will be also a good solution.

    Also to the people asking for free transfer that torpedoes the whole merging servers solution, so it shouldn't happen.

    or about PVP, as I mentioned earlier and no one seemed to understand, we can have pvp from start for the people which claimed Outlaw declaration skill and give them an Icon or sign which separates them with PVE players and not allowing them to attack pve players only those with PVP icon. This is also a good solution.

    I have 16 characters in both servers ;-;

    so go to velika outside and watch the guys with a big shinie red weapon or the guys at the center of the arena, normally he is there, because he want to hit someone

    Thats not 100% true actually.
    VO is where many PvPers duel yes, but its mostly where PvPers talk to each other and have fun together..thats kinda like how PvEers see Highwatch i guess; at least thats how it is in my server but i went to other servers and it was the same. You really talk like PvPers are like agressive monsters lol

    Ill leave a high elin here to lighten the mood so you guys can actually talk like normal ppl do.

    they are not agressive monster, but only guys looking for fun :)
  • I DO NOT WANT HW TO MERGE... KEEP HIGHWATCH AS IT IS. If u merge HW imma move back to TERA Eu.... at least that place was crap b4 the merge.

    @BusinessCat
    Tbh everyone understand that..but some ppl are making it look like a bigger problem than it is.
    I agree with having a free server transfer to one other PvE server, not any server tho.
    Its just that ppl rather say wrong stuff about things they dont really know than try to come up with solutions. If you look at this the last comments here, ppl have been talking about how OW PvP works more than how to make ppl satisfied with the merge/transfer, ppl actually gave reasons for this to happen, other ppl continued it and this thread is becoming a discussion about how PvP works ft. PvE ppl as the main voice.
    No one is here wanting to force PvE ppl to PvP, those who do are the ppl from Highwatch who think that the merge will be the only possibility with no transfers and they arent wrong in their point either. (We cant confirm what will happen also, but the solutions is what this thread should be about)

    What about names

    we'll discuss that after this is settled.

    Finally I can slaughter Primals on my main rather than alt.

    So much this.

    Treeshark my idea is this merge VoT and LoT and let the people from HW to transfer free to CH or AV the people that don't transfer in time get transferred automatically to one of the two.this way people that don't what to pvp won't get on a pvp server. will that work ?
  • just merge the 3 together and make it a normal pvp server........... Give highwatch players the opportunity to go to AV for free for a limited. I really don't understand why en masse would be so thick to not do this.
  • PalochiPalochi ✭✭✭
    @Deiman
    I think it was said that they could merge the servers and then make a free transfer to a PvE server after that so ppl can get the feel of the server before just leaving because its labeled as " PvP ". Sadly i dont remember if who said that was a GM or not so :( ..that would work almost the same way but including LoT/VoT ppl in the transfer as well.

    I don't know why people keep downplaying the consequences of having level 65 PK.

    First of all, someone that is not in PvP gear, at level 65, who is attacked by a player in PvP gear, may as well be level 1, because it will present about as much challenge for the PKer.

    Second of all, with the lack of low level PKing, all of the PKers that would normally be PKing noobs, will shift to PKing level 65's. This means that you can't really use MT as a reference for how bad it will be, because it will be a whole different climate, where all the PKers will be condensed into one zone.

    And third, as I said in an earlier post - things are not as safe as people make it out to be. Unless you only do IoD and dungeons, and skip all your other vanguard quests, then you are vulnerable to PKers. Those same PKers can also change channels as easily as you can.

    And this is coming from someone who has always been on MT, and embraces open PvP. But I also don't wish to force the play-style on people that chose to avoid it. I personally won't try to downplay it.

    Honestly, it's only a matter of time before the new PvP server declines, and a merge is needed with MT. Their population is small, even combined. Instead of delaying the inevitable, they should just be merged with MT.

    People losing names, is not as bad as PvErs being forced into a PvP server, or PvPers being forced into a not-a-full PvP server.

    We went through big mergers in the past, on MT. We can handle it again. The names will work out.

    And HW should be merged with a PvE server.

    It's going to happen eventually, anyways.

    Vkobe, this is legit the 7th time you say that in like 4 pages lol
  • We all signed up for the servers we like because we like PVE or PVP. Highwatch is well populated and active as PVE. I play on Highwatch because my guild and friends are there and we like PVE. Why not leave Highwatch as it is? It is not dying or low-pop.
  • I think it definitely makes business sense to consolidate 3 lesser populated servers into one server. From a server resource standpoint this has real value. From a player standpoint, I think it would be fun to have a PVP server that starts at 65, but is PvE while leveling. I think that many less vocal players out there don't join PVP servers only because they don't want to get griefed when they are trying to level. I would vote for doing what Treeshark proposes. It seems like a well thought out and viable solution to the population issues on these servers.
