Merge servers and stop making new ones?
Hmm... there is a number of problems with that..
Lets say they do merge servers (well actually that is inevitable the problem here is HOW they will do it)

They cannot merge 2 servers where top 1-30 players have an insane gap in BP...
They cannot merge 2 servers where top 1-3 players are in the same clan...
They cannot merge 2 servers that are NEW...
And there is a hell of a lot THEY CANNOT...
IF THEY DO this will lead to more people leaving...
For 2 server merge they would have to carefully look trough all the servers and search for similar BP top players from DIFFRENT clan's!
If they put 2 servers together where both top players are from one clan.... well.. R.I.P Server we will never forget you.
For merge to work they would have to merge up to 3 servers together that have similar top player BP's and they HAVE TO be from diffrent clans
this will more or less balance out the game!
It won't be one sided GW massacre and it won't be one sided protect seiretei.
And month after month they would have to do it again and again and again.
Well maybe a month is too soon make it 3-6 months.


As for STOP MAKING NEW SERVERS.
ABSURD! The moment they stop this game is dead!
Imagine this new players come to this game and lets even say they donate 20.000$ they will never reach the top!Event like evil spirit and ryoka will be.. well imagine 10 guys with 500k+ BP are in the event thats a 1st - 10th wave 1 hit kill for ryoka and... well i think you get it..
new players will ignore this events... so stop making servers its R.I.P. to the whole game.
THEY HAVE TO MAKE NEW SERVERS AS IT GIVES NEW PLAYERS A CHANCE TO EVOLVE.
And then when most of the players on server reach 150k+ BP merge it with another similar server or maybe 3 servers..


THE ONLY CHOICE THEY HAVE (IF THEY WANT TO KEEP THIS GAME GOING) IS TO SLOWLY MERGE SERVERS STARTING FROM THE TOP!
Eu1 with Eu2 or Eu3 (Top 1-3 players with similar BP and from diffrent clans) e.t.c.

P.s.
I just came home from BD party so i'm little drunk so i might have made a few mistakes when i wrote this reply.. IGNORE THEM!

although I agree with some of what you said I don't agree with it all. you need to think of this from a players point of view instead of a global overview. the old servers are dying and people that have spent hundreds on VIP are in most cases the only people left standing in the old servers.

server merges are needed in due time. although you do need to recognize that this is not a new post. this was here when I joined the forums.

I don't really agree that they need to be that nit-picky about merging servers.

1. If they merge servers that started around the same time, it minimizes the advantage 1 server has over another due to play time. For instance, say there are 3 servers to examine. Server F had an average of 300k bp for top 30, server Y had an average of 365k, and server U had an average of 305k bp. Server Y started 3 days after server F started, but server U started 2 weeks after server F started. It would be more fair for server F and Y to merge since they both had the opportunity to play the same amount of time. It wouldn't be fair to merger servers F and U together, even tho they have around the same BP's since server F had a 2 week advantage on them.

2. I see no reason why top 2 servers whose top 3's are in the same clan can't merge together. Each individual server doesn't have a harmonious balance between the 3 clans. Some servers have 1 clan that is stacked and dominate the top 10.

3. I agree they shouldn't merge 2 servers that are new, new servers still have a lot of players on it, and hadn't had the chance to grow individually as a server like the older servers have. I doubt the publishers have any intention on doing this since they want individual servers to first spend cash on fight among themselves, then after that cools down, make the top rankers spend even more competing against the new players that merged with them, keeps players throwing money at the screen.

4. People leave servers anyways, and if they want to set themselves up for the same thing happening to them on their newer server, then that is their call.

5. Again, I don't see the point in trying to balance servers based on how powerful one particular clan is compared to another. They aren't balanced now as it is.

6. Having two #1's in the same clan is just like having top 2 in a server in the same clan.

7. Again u are focused way too much on trying to balance the clans, which isn't necessary. In the servers I have seen, none of them have a perfect balance where all 3 clans are in a stalemate. There is usually 1 OP vip that dominates everyone with 2-5 racing against each other.
In a perfect world it would be nice to have all 3 clans balanced on a server, but this is just a p2w browser game and whoever has the deepest pockets will rule. If this were a normal mmo where it would be base on experience and skill, then maybe balance would matter.

8. What server do you come from where ur ps isn't one sided? Usually the defensive team has a big advantage for awhile until the fireballs get too many levels. As for gw, it's not like it matters about clan as same clans can fight each other, the game at least tries to balance gw out some.

9. All your concerns are just about balancing BP's and clan power when it really doesn't matter, especially with clans. The only thing I can think of is getting better rewards at the end of Ryoka attack? Since that is the only event that is structured on clan placement instead of guild or individual player rankings.
10. I don't think they meant to completely stop making new servers, just they don't need a new server coming out every other day while the old servers have very few players in them. They want the company to focus working on merging first, then creating new servers second.

From my last talks with staff, it will be going down mid October, and will be done in two's. I don't know how far up they will merge, server wise, but I suspect the first 30 atleast. If so it will look something like this :
S1 / S2
S3 / S4
S5 / S6
S7 / S8
S9 / S10
S11 / S12
S13 / S14
S15 / S16
S17 / S18
S19 / S20
S21 / S22
S23 / S24
S25 / S26
S27 / S28
S29 / S30

Two's is due to try to keep the BP balance inline and not screwing over a "newer" server than the old one, which is more than likely in most cases. This is the cleanest way for now to keep that balance in check, and to give the populations a bit of a bump. Now there is still an offshoot chance they will do it in three's, and if that's the case it would look like S1 / S2 / S3 ,  S4/S5/S6 , S7/S8/S9 , S10/S11/S12 ect ect but due to balance issues I don't see that happening. From talking to them it appears it will be twi's first, and they will monitor it from there and see if more mergers are needed. (Which is doubtful as then they would have to merge S1/2 with S3/4 making it a 4 way merge. So expect two's.

When this happens, arena will be reset, Protect Seireitei will be reset, all first kills/best kills on trials/espada will be reset. We will have the return of the Cool Events tab for the first month, which will be similure to if not the same as the one you get on a new server (Highest BP, #1 Arena, Top Guild ect ect)

Hope this helps, we will find out in about two weeks.

Yep it really would help with the population and events, on EU S32 we have 6-9 Shinigami players in Evil Spirit and only 25-35 players in Ryoka Attack. In guild war we have 2 lanes and always same 3 guilds winning and same with protect sereitei only 3-4 guilds taking part. Hopefully they will do more then the first 30 servers so s32 will get merged as well.

everythingswrong@live did you at least speak about the EU servers too or just purely focused on the US servers? we need server merges over here too

I'm pretty sure it applies EU servers as well. Wouldn't make sense to leave EU servers out.

It's both , though I don't know how high up on servers they will merge since they are "newer".
