Server Merge Additional Questions

    Quote from Pyrotechnist

    the whole idea of this merge lacks any common sense, i really can't understand why this has to be written:

    - merging 160 days servers with 16years old servers... jesus christ there are games where temporary servers take longer than that - and you keep opening new servers just to spit in our faces.

    - not making an existing server be the target server just to reset all work done by deleted accounts, and also the graveyard "feature" which you lacked any brain in solving the issue

    I remember starting on Delta when it was already kinda built up and I did okay you can get by with diplomacy at a early level.
    But Your point is totally valid.. it's like the high school kids going to the elementary school and having a full contact football game.

    But that's how GF rolls.. I mean some of the servers are practically new I think those aren't being merged.. iirc only ones older than feb this year but that's still very fresh.


    And they'll open more servers after the merger.. it's how they make their money getting people to come in and spend money trying to get one over on everyone else.. like a small fish bowl of piranha's, such is GF the cycle will begin a new lol

    Server merger related Question:

    What is the maximum limit of players joining a server?


    If Server-1 becomes Full, -> Every island is filled with a town.

    Are players forced to go Server-2?


    And is this why some Regions have 4 server options vs 2 server options.


    does anyone know how many players are merging for US region?

    It is awfully funny that town moves are on sale right now right before the merge and there hasn't been an announcement in game.


    Regardless, don't expect someone to understand your POV when his job depends on him not understanding it.


    Draxo and badidol can't understand our concerns because they're paid not to. They simply get the direction "we need to merge because of X, Y, and Z. Tell the player base."

    We both know that the best time for the wonders to be updated is after the merge and after the majority of the player base has used their free moves.

    I am not sure if there is specifically a limit of players per server, but we can consider it from the viewpoint of available spots per server.

    The map has roughly 5300 islands that make for a good 90k island spots. The map is much larger than most players consider.



    I would assume that if option X becomes full (as in no available spots) you either wait for spots to open, or you get assigned to a different server based on the forced move at the end of the merge period.



    I believe the amount of new servers per community to be based on the player amount, albeit it seems to be a rather blanket statement as it is either 2 or 4.

    5300 islands but how many have wonders people want? a 3rd maybe?

    even if we assume an average of 10 towns per player that's 9000 players but all the mutli's are gonna get shoved into 2 servers.

    so if you thought multi's was bad before.. oh boy.. hold my beer,

    Gonna be interesting for sure though... im gonna be camping the server like it's Black Friday.

    For sure, but I don't think GF would consider the server to be "full" when forge, poseidon and colossus are taken if the others are free.


    1 & 4 will likely be filled to the brim with multies for spot purposes, both permanent and temporary ones.

    This happened with Ares Global too :)


    The map is big, but it is not that big considering the sheer amount of actual players and the never-ending multies.

    Agreed, gonna suck for the people on the ass end of the merger.

    Will the world maps be new maps or based off existing worlds?

    The new servers have the world map new servers are having currently.

    Have you guy thought of doing a completely new randomize wonder layout for the new servers?

    If you ask me personally, I've found the idea very interesting for some time. I would also find it interesting if there were different world maps and if servers started in different communities at the same time had different maps. I would also find it interesting if the new map was not known before the merge to give us players more and new challenges.


    Not going to happen this time. The new servers have the current map. The future will show if and when something will change there.

    Does server-wide higher/lower costs to build troops/ships impact damage as reported in the battle report and attack points / defense points? I would expect it would, because the base-cost is different.

    building costs aren't not connected to hitpoints, attack points or defense points from units.

    hi  lagu will there be any change on 11 account per server rule since alot of people might have more than 11 accounts in total in those servers that they are playing

    For example you have 6 accounts on alpha 6 on beta 10 on ny if they were to merge in same server will the other 12 accounts get banned or whats going to happen to them .

    Im speaking for normal players that doesnt use vpn to cheat the system


    there is no change of the rules nor of the gamecode itself planned.

    Users doesn't follow the rules might have life with the consequences

    That's only 22 accounts so for a 2 server merge 11 go to 1 server and 11 go to another. If you have over 22 or 44 accounts across a specific realm, you'd need to simply let some of them GY and then recover from GY somewhere else.

    the 25% trade ship boost.. will that included the freighters?


    Doesn't make a difference obviously it is what it is, just curious.. would be nice if it boosted freighters also though.
