This entire thread is BS.

This was not Nexon's fault. The fault lies squarely on TerrorStreak and his absurd "Everyone Leap Into Bera" threads and pushes, and everyone who hopped on the bandwagon for the sake of fame and fortune. Him and his pals basically broke what should have been a perfectly healthy event by causing false mass hysteria. We've already heard numerous reports of people from Bera coming into other worlds and trolling/attacking people for not moving. And then we get his forum pals going around saying how "great Bera is" and how "every other server is dead" and crap like that, even just copying and pasting replies into multiple threads, in order to cause more panic of "If I don't move into Bera everything will be bad".

Then we get all the people who claim "Oh, everything is dead, because I don't see anyone in FM. Seriously? Since when is FM a reliable way of measuring population? As I said before, FM is just the rich people who sit around all day trying to make more money. You won't find them doing PQs, bossing, etc. with anyone but their alts/bots. I'd actually consider the FM as a negative population measure, because they just draw people away from actually playing the game.

In short, blaming this on Nexon is like someone chopping their hands off on a table saw and blaming the manufacturers of the saw. You can't make a game stupid-proof.

I'm sorry, but you are completely wrong. You cannot put blame on a player for making posts and threads trying to get people to come to Bera. He didn't force them to come. There are always threads asking people to come to their server every world leap event. As many have mentioned already in this thread, they didn't open up all servers to transfer to and they didn't have caps in place to make sure servers were not flooded. These problems lie with Nexon for not properly preparing, not with some players telling everyone to go to Bera.

Just try to picture it. With a limit, even if everyone decided to go to Bera they'd eventually be met with a cap that isn't too much higher than the current populations of other servers. They'd close off Bera and leave access open to other servers until the populations stabilize. I know this works because NCsoft did it with Aion multiple times when I used to play it and none of the servers ended up devastated like some of the Maple ones are now (at least not while I was playing). If people can't go to Bera they'll go somewhere else or just stay in their own server but Nexon should have had all servers open to transfer.

People aren't solely judging population decrease on the free market. The free market does show a bit, but it is more or less an accurate showing of the market and the current state it's in on the server. If you actually play on these servers I mentioned though, there's no false claims. You can have a look around yourself and you'll see the population is far lower than what it used to be. It's indisputable at this point even without the population data Nexon has.

This world transfer event is an absolute disaster and has ruined so many servers that were already in desperate need of a world alliance merger. I have never ever seen any other MMO publisher handle such a thing so poorly with so little disregard for anyone. Nobody could have ever anticipated that Bera would be flooded like it was but nothing was done to stop this from happening either.

Servers/Server alliances like MYBCKN, Khroa, Windia and GRAZEYARD have all been hit hard with this World Leap event. Not only is the market on these servers suffering, but events that require a number of players can no longer be participated in as often. There are times flag race does not happen anymore because of the lack of players on and are in guilds willing to participate. To put it bluntly, Nexon you have turned all these servers into ghost towns. You have screwed all of us yet again. First it was ignoring feedback related to the drop rate changes that fared very poorly in Korea and yet were still brought over into our version but now you have once again failed to act on the feedback regarding population and mergers. The list obviously goes on.

People have been asking for world alliance mergers and mergers in general for a very very long time. Not transfers Nexon. MERGERS.

Now with how poorly this was handled let me offer a suggestion or two as to how you should have proceeded with this event.

First off you should have done mergers to stabilize the population on servers that desperately needed it rather than allow transfers.

You should have disabled transfers to certain servers after a certain population was reached. You should have made it clear in advance if you were going to do this and when so a group of friends thinking about transferring would all be able to transfer rather than a few getting stuck and left behind.

Sadly you didn't think ahead and do these things and as a result the player base once again has to suffer. Do you even have any apology to offer for the damage you have done to these specific servers and it's players? This was beyond pathetic and as a loyal veteran who has played for years I am incredibly disappointed, probably more than I have ever been especially with the way things have been going this year.

Your only course of action at this point is to merge the servers I mentioned and open up transfers down the track to these servers only as Bera is flooded. Scania may also need help in the future. Not completely sure.

It was completely their fault. People were asking for MERGERS/World Alliance, not freaking world transfers. This problem could have been completely prevented provided they merged certain servers stabilizing the population. They should have also restricted the amount of people that could transfer over to some servers to make sure population stayed stable across all servers. They did NONE of the above and as a result they have devastated multiple servers and made many depressed. Many feel as if they need to transfer because they don't want to be on a dead server and all their friends transferred resulting in a domino effect.

This whole situation is a repeat mistake Nexon has made in the past with the exact same issue. You'd think they would have learned something by now right?

While this situation should have never happened to begin with, the only way I see them fixing the issue is merging the servers that need to be merged, but even that may not be enough since so many transferred to Bera overpopulating the server compared to others.

Currently for some reason this is only available in reboot. Is there any reason as to why this is?

Could this please also be added to non-reboot?

thanks.

Yeah, I avoided doing DB when I heard about this. Little bit disappointed nothing is being done about the people who abused the hell out of this. They'll ban for other small issues but not this one? Where's the consistency?
