Hm, perhaps because I am more of a casual player, I am not seeing it as badly? I usually only ever had problems with hackers in Windia when trying to train. (I am aware of those selling items in the FM though).
I suppose that is where my mind automatically goes - "can I train or will hackers be KSing me on the maps?"
I didn't realize people were selling Reboot accounts, but it doesn't surprise me *sighs*
It can definitely seem weird to have different countries joining together, but knowing the backstory helps a bit.
I know games in the past have shut down in other countries, then other countries would allow people to register, but I cannot think of a full on merge like this having happened in any I have played before. (So, you had a good/valid question!)
I think it's pretty cool they aren't making people start from scratch </b>
I would suggest editing your post and adding the reboot tag at the beginning of your title. This way people skimming through will know what world you are referring to
EMS was brought out after it had already been part of GMS to begin with. It would make sense that the player base isn't as large as it was before so there is no reason to continue paying for the extra employees, buildings, services etc for it.
