Formally Merge the Servers

Many of the servers play together due to "world alliances", but the active people on each channel is not reflective of the server. This is because the servers are "different".

As we've seen from EMS, it is possible for you guys to slap these servers together without inconveniencing people with 4billion alternate characters across 8 servers. Please merge these servers so that the world select screen is less cluttered, there's an actual indication of how many people are on each "Server" (alliances mess with this), and it is more clear for new players what the population of each world is.

Servers should be:

Reb00t
Scania
Windia
Gazed
Ycenia (YMCK, but this sounds more like a server)
    No results for this poll

    u only forgot 1 thing
    the ''merge took ems nearly 6 months...''
    and im + than sure u would hate pass 6 moths with 0 event and updates and lose the chance of good envent like all europeans lost heroes of maple envent and items
    many europeans were and are pissed off of never ad the chance of enjoy those events especially the players that love aran and evan... (not even their nx items wich might be the only thing that can come bk)
    not even their hair cupons of revamped looks we could get...
    if u and the other ppl are willing to pay that sacrifice pc then go for it

    Currently, the game looks dead because merged worlds aren't actually single servers, so it doesn't show the actual population of any of them.

    Then, all the new players go to reb00t and get horribly underwhelmed. Then complain about lag.

    it actually does show the combined population on the server in an alliance

    Ah. If that's true, I wasn't aware. Quite sad tbh.

    What KingStarFire is true. During Thanksgiving break, I looked at all the worlds and compared their populations with each other. Knowing that Mardia, Yellonde, Bellocan, Chaos, and Kradia AND Galicia, Arcania, Zenith, El Nido, and Demethos are the two major world alliances, I saw that they both had the same population in their respective alliances.

    Also, I don't think it's "rather sad" that the worlds (other than Scania and Reboot) are unpopulated, but instead, I appreciate that it lets you focus on yourself without any distractions, because it means that you have 19 channels (excluding Channel 1 because most people train on that channel) that don't have players swarming to train in a certain map. There's more freedom. Another plus is less henehoes participating in pointless smega-wars with each other.

    I think the general population of the game should reflect how many different "worlds" we have. @>@

    I have noticed that over the years the play base has split into to types of people (six really but only two really fit this conversation) people who like big world like what Scania, Bera and Windia used to be so they can play with other people and people who like small worlds so they can solo. Normally I would think that it would be impossible to make both people happy but know I think if they merge Scania, Bera, Broa, Windia and Khaini together then that would be the populated alliance while the other two alliances would be the smaller solo-able.

    Realistically, I think they only really need 3 total worlds for North America and one for Europe. All selectable from the same menu.

    Definitely started playing on Reboot ONLY because every other server is super dead. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Also to new players, they usually don't even know the difference, so they just pick the populated one.

    I feel like the game would be healthier to have 2 or 3 reboot servers and 2 or 3 non-reboot servers.

    I say 2-3 real ones and 1 reb00t
