    Yes but bots flock to the world that is most populated e.g Bera after the last transfer, so there's validity in Lily's statement. Since it's deeply rooted that most of the inventory for sale comes from bots. plus there's always people that want to buy mesos from illegal sites and bots know this so they follow the population.

    No. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs dictates socializing and belonging is a basic need, so you are agreeing that it is a psychological thing, the world merge. It's a bit hypocritical saying I'm wrong in pointing out that the world merge for people is a psychological need to socialize, but then say it is about socializing. An overpopulated server doesn't function, and under populated servers don't function. There has to be a balance. We can use Bera as an example from the recent world transfer, the result was overpopulation, with a large portion being botters/hackers. So, am I wrong that it is about socializing or not?
    And yes, economics is a big part of server population.

    You can't compare KMS with GMS, consumer behavior and spending trends is different than GMS players. Besides that, the factor in ratios is the amount of illicit sales of mesos, there's virtually none over seas.

    the merge isn't about the psychological aspect of loneliness vs the need to socialize. It's about stability of population and economics. 1 world would be way too crowded and everything will be worse in terms of prices, worse than before.
