is it that hard to make one only truly server?. come on guys wouldnt be much fun if everybody is in it?
anyways how many truly players are in lineage 2 at this moment?
why not 0 servers as well? anyways how many truly players are in lineage 2 at this moment?
1 no, 2 maybe

gotta keep peak times for euro/na players. Unless of course you wanna force Euros to do Oly at 3 am or NA to do oly at 12 noon.
yeah you right, 1 server per continent man, we cant mess up with the euro servers and their times. it was a good idea to combine some servers but i think they should combine more becuase somehow people are migrating from one server to another.
to krissa, i dont get you. we are all here to make lineage 2 a better game. i love it! i been playing for over 4 years, my only con its that there are times it feels like the server its empty you know? and other con its so many things that makes lvl kind of hard at high lvls
can you imagine all the bots on the dead servers farming your grind spots?
what do you mean by bots on the dead servers? cuase im having this idea that ibet other people had it its to only have 1 or 2 servers per continent u know? = for the states.

We have NA/EU servers,Russian servers,Korean servers,SEA servers.

If you merge all these,the server will exploid from population.
yeah i know that, but im talking about north america servers, 1-2 servers for the states will be more than enough and more fun, even if theres more peopple in one server than the other they should merge it into one. and if you talk about the server exploiting from population come on man, we pay 15 dollars a month so they can provide us with a better server so it can fit more people, if u talk about lagging the same bro, and at the end it will be only fully full on sieges, and thats only for the servers and people competing for so yeah. dont you think guys?
Is Utah really your location? I have a hard time reading your english ><.
yes, layton utah is my location lol wtf?
Your use of english in the OP seemed non-native american. Sry if there was any misunderstanding. I'll try to decipher it again. Don't worry.
yes, its not american native, but the message its clear, 1 server for the states
Thank you for clarifying.

Maybe I have a hard time understanding your english because im from Sweden?

Merging all servers won't make L2 a better game.

i love it! i been playing for over 4 years, my only con its that there are times it feels like the server its empty you know?
Not when I cannot enter the Rift because all the rooms are taken, tyvm :p

then ncsoft should make more rifts with more rooms, they waste time and resources in nonsense events
If there was just 1 or 2 servers, bots wouldnt exist in the first place (or they would be very few), so I vote +1.

Reduce NA servers to 1 and Euro servers to 1 as well. That would make Lineage 2 live longer.

But talking realistic here, NC make their profit thru bots, so making something that would reduce or extinguish botters is like shooting in the own foot, so yeah, that won't happen.
Flame away but i would still like a zero tolerance for cheaters server. I really don't see the purpose of playing a game where the cheaters outnumber the legits and the EULA are disregarded.

I've always REALLY REALLY liked this game but i've lost any will to try anymore. It makes no sense to work hard for anything.

So i would support that all the cheaters are put in one server and let them cheat till they are blue...let the legits transgfer to a non cheating server. Of course NC will say they are unable to do this so they will get mad cause this is a circular arguement.
Because i dont want play with smittie in same server, it is why i dont want merge with the immigrants from others servers, we dont need pollutions and plagues from nova or redsky, in luna we are fine with our problems, if only we can close our borders in luna :)
merging again is stupid. there are still way too many ppl playing that game, u wont find any xp spots u could take w/o pvp'ing for it and even if u won, next ppl appear soon to get your spot. i dont have a problem about that, but i can already hear the crybabies spamming here: "wuuuuuh its sooo unfair, i cant find free spots to xp, all are taken. wuuuhuhuuuuu"

And thats suppose to be!
And solo player will be forced to find clan in order to get exp spot. Will be more fights, more rage, more wars and etc. That kind l2 will be loved by most of us.
But still bot logic will rule - kill mobs and after death just go back to same spot.
Drop items after death from mob should be FTW against bots. I would love to train bots in that way. But this going off topic.

Good part of merge will be more interactions (good and bad) between players. Bad part, maybe 20k-30k peoples online, or 5k peoples at same area may be too stress full for most non high end PC.
servers are perfect as they are
Bartz -> Phoenix
Deviane & Aria -> Sayha
Bartz -> Phoenix
Deviane & Aria -> Sayha

+1
I agree for 2 servers. 2 euro servers of course. Drop the NA ones. Nobody likes them anyway! That'll free the greeks who are lost on the wrong server. :D


Hey guys, I have a new idea : what about a merge?
Nobody suggested that before :)

Not by most. Take a look on how many pvp/pve/neutral clans exists on each server. And get real, everybody already know that solo~trio till 78 is a lot more effective then making a 9 man party just to hold a spot.

I am truly amazed that anyone knew what you were talking about!! I had no idea what a "one only truly server" was, or what "truly players" are.

Someone below you said something about how he understood that you meant USA server. How they ever got that, I will never know, and I give them a badge!

I think Aion is doing that, the server you can play on has to do with where you bought the game. So if i buy it in the States, I can't play on any of the servers for people who bought it in Europe.

One of my favorite things about L2 is the internationality of it. For that reason, I would say no to your suggestion. I also don't see an advantage to having the whole playing field being empty in the wee hours.
God, another one of these threads.
Dude, go out, learn how to type english, even Utah has a school system that teaches english structure lol.

No more server merges until they find a way to increase the number of clan halls to let all the clans that have a hall have the same ones on the new server.

And what about those clans that own castles? Easy for you to say merge, merge, merge when it is just about you.

i play with lots of people from all over the world, id hate to have to buy a specific type of game box to play with them :-/

i also vote no to this and agree with Armenua
Is Washington,D.C. really your location? I have a hard time reading your english ><.

There that's fixed becuase people in Utah have alot better english. So enlighten me on something please. Why not only 1 thread on this topic?

If that guy is in Layton then fill me in on when the game stop at the Layton Hills Mall plans on getting time cards?
1 server per continent.

All people in Utah don't type like they are High School dropouts since mine I hope isn't that bad and I'm in Layton, Utah as well but i'm a Floridian and they taught english there and in New Mexico so dude why did you skip english class?

Also Zhanigs right. How about they fix real issues of the game before they waste time on the useless stuff like a server merge? After server merge where you supposed to get seal stones? Not in any of the cata's/necro's by grinding legit for them becuase those will all be packed with top clan alts on auto.

El Don go back to school and learn how to read and write better english please becuase you just wasted our time on another useless server merge thread ,that if you had a better grasp of the english language you woulda saw at least 1 of the thousands of threads on this topic to post in. Also thanks alot for destroying Utah's image with your poor english, becuase i was gonna shut up before i ruined it any more than I already have.
+1 on server merging!
far as i understand.. need to keep at least 2 NA servers and 2 EURO servers....

merges all the NA servers into 2... and euro into 2....
There is a game called Eve-Online, spaceship game where all the action takes place in one server ... The peak was about 51 000 ppl online at once ;)
Ofc, the so-called map (Space) is much larger than L2 grinding spots ... :D

eve online has 3 dimension space as its server also, and is much, much bigger than L2 is

the 2 arent even comparable
The OP asked what I think.

I think NO. Bad idea. I don't want it. I like my server as it is.
Bartz -> Phoenix
Deviane & Aria -> Sayha

+1...and I play on Phoenix..not some dead server and I still like the idea ;)

I get out of breath trying to read your sentences out loud. Your english is better than the OP's but could use some better punctuation.
When NCSoft feels that it's a sound idea to lessen the amount of servers currently active in US, due to financial or resource issues they will do it. I don't remember anyone voting for the first server merges, they just made the decision to do so.

Sure the game feels a little light right now and it is possible that a merge may be in the works. So in the meantime, while hunting areas, quests, and/or epic boss competition relatively free on your server, I suggest you take advantage and level up and get as much gear as you can. Because if they do merge servers and all the super high level cheaters, farmers, and *****hats are stuck together on one server, you'll want to at least be able to take 2 hits before you're down.

:p
yes server merging did help in the past so many more people started to play and still play... wait, thats not true.
But I am sure this server merge, alot more people will stay and not leave ****** becuse they lose there clanhall.`...

And one serious question why cant people that want server merge just post in the old topics. Do people really have to state what they want over and over?
Most ppl asking for server merges again actually are that dumb. They dont know how to find the old server merge threads.

It's like its a pre-requisite for making the thread.
lol history repeats itself once again..

Bartz -> Phoenix
Deviane & Aria -> Sayha

not going to happen in that order for the simple fact those servers are not located at the same data center, if mergers happen again it will be like this:

- Bartz 1,4K players & Sayha 1k players & Aria 1,1k players <= 6k max player on a server so doable np
- Phoenix 1.7k & Deviane 1.4k <= 6k max players so also perfectly doable

and unless they start banning alot of ppl on Franz & Luna those won't get merged so EU servers will remain as per current status quo.
Why not 1 server?

Great idea! Why not take it all the way and wipe out everything and start over with just one server and all clans, toons, items all wiped?

Lets start completely over!

Its not like people have invested lots of time and energy in the game, I mean who wouldn't want to have stuff taken from them and years of play/work wiped out for the wonderful opportunity to start over?

That's why not just 1 server...

Thanks bro i'll get that fixed :).

LOL I love that part about the super high lvls, it just made my day.

Now will server merge folks explain to me in detail on where I am supposed to get my seal stones the old fashioned way of grinding for them please? If you haven't noticed all the super high lvl *****hats use thier alts on auto in all the cata's and necro's. So would you please inform me where i'm supposed to find a free room in those to get my own seal stones. After another server merge I won't be able to find a free room ever again becuase of that issue so explain away on how and where I am supposed to grind for my own ancient adena.

Now I turn the time over to all the *****hats who want 1 server to explain ,where and how, all the players who want to grind for thier own seal stones can.

The time is now officialy yours so start explaining.
I never advocate server merges but I'll give you a tip for seal stones.

Get majestic armor, party an EE and a WC. Go kill mobs in stunner rooms. Almost every cata/necro I've been to, I've had multiple rooms to choose from.

I'm up to 2.2 mil GSS from about a week of grinding (only play roughly 3 hours a day on weekdays). But I'm expecting to be able to farm even more when I get higher, since the higher mobs drop larger quantities of it.

Agree for the stun rooms,but it is better going there with a nuker.

4 hits for a mob,that is profit.

I seed them, for even more profit.

And my nuker is too high to 4 shot them, its only 2 now >.<
best xp.... 76 wolf, 61-70 lvl chars, cov and stun rooms. I get 1m/hour off of gss, and 20-30% xp on chars lvl 61-70
The OP never answered my question and so i'll ask again .

Why not only 1 topic instead of 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99 of the same exact thing on these boards asking and saying the exact same things?

Please answer that question or I'll keep asking just like how your asking for server merges.
Can we have some staff member's answers about this suggestion x) ?

In my opinion some servers merges are really needed, when you know that some of them get difficulties to reach above 1k population (with the half which are bots)...
and with Aion comming, the things will be not going better :/...
Alida, what do u expect them to say? If they plan to merge servers, they will keep it a secret until the last minute, when the decision has become final and there is nothing anyone can do or say about it, but just plan for the eventuality. This is always the way NCSoft has worked.

Our only hope is that they realize the importance of and implement the addition of several more clan halls.

Maybe I was expecting an answer since we have new comminuty manager a bit more talkative :P ! But yeah maybe I am asking for too much.

But it would be good that they don't wait too much (if they have planned to do it): when peoples start to be bored, they never stay too long =x...
How many yrs have the players been asking for more clan halls and still nothing? I'll be amazed if NCSOFT starts listening to the good ideas and stops listening to the bad ones.
