An Important Announcement about Server Population

[Shadow_Flayer]

If you have 8 players on Xoriat Tharask and Thelanas, how many will disappear once the server merge takes place?

There is a FAQ in the Server Merge thread. It tells you that you will keep ALL characters you have from the servers merged, but not be allowed to create any new ones until you get below the highest 'level' of characters you were allowed on your 'best' server.

[Standpoint]

Yay! I may be part of the vocal minority, but I am very glad that this is being done.

To the devs: There is likely plenty of people who will be excited about this, and many may not post on the forums here. Don't let the posts give you an overall impression of the attitude about the server merges.

[Borcan]

Nevermind the Forum trolls Turbine, I for one stand up and applaud you for making this move. I'm very pleased to see that you guys are making grouping so much easier. You're absolutly 100% correct that grouping is the core thing which makes playing DDO fun. Take a bow Turbine. Very well done

[Renegade66]

Not particularly looking forward to losing our guild name and having my characters renamed to things like Renegade-Xoriat. I'm sure there was no clean way to do it though.

[Symar-FangofLloth]

Curses! How dare you kill Xoriat! I demand Thelanis be merged to Xoriat instead!

[Yvonne_Blacksword]

There are a lot of people who play this game who never visit he forums...and rely on the idol chatter of us forum addicts to shovel them maneur...

/looks down at hands...

This is gonna take some work.

I, for one, am glad to see Xoriat disappear. It smelled like cheese.

I can't wait to join my fellow DDO lovers in Sarlona.

How are we to expect the servers not to crash under this merger, when even at lower population count if new good content hits it crashes every single time. Seem to me it's going to be more likely to laggy and crash and just be less of a enjoyable game.

[uhgungawa]

first off, let me say that i'm 110% behind a merger. there was too many servers from the start. But if this works, and brings in more people is the a plan if there has to be servers re added ?

and not to pick on kyber. but that server is know for having bad performance issues. was it the best course of action t use it as a server?

thisis hands down the best game out there. lets just hopes that this makes it all that much better

[tekn0mage]

I am convinced this is a good idea. Now I want every one of you that reads this thread to understand that I am glad this is happening. They listened, they pondered, they listened some more, and they are acting on it. Thank you Turbine.

With gratitude.

Considering Tharashk is getting merged into Thelanis as well I have to protest! Tharashk is by far the most respectable and beautiful name for a server. Thelanis and Xoriat are just bleh.

for adar

/afraid

about lag
about new pugs
about my character's name
about a lot of stuffs

[~Krif]

My characters are on Mabar and Argonessen, so I'll be locked out of generating new ones once I finally get to 1750 favor. Is there any way to move them to a different server now before the convergence?

[liamfrancais]

Oh and on a side note I guess there are times it is hard to find a group and whatever but here is an Idea "ADVERTISE" I cannot tell you the last time I actually saw the game on the shelf at a store ie: electronics stores, game stores, any kind of store now I dont go around looking for DDO in stores just for fun but when I am in a store I alway browse the game section. I think it would be cool if maybe it could be set up that so at one of nationwide stores there was a day where some players who volunteered came into store and played so others could see the game there are many things that could be done to get more players (G4) besides offering a free trial to people who stumble across the site. Venting ended.

[Rathji]

GOOD:
It's too bad that our servers are going over to LOTRO, but at least we'll be able to group up easier.

but wait...

BAD!:
Crud! These are the same tech people that caused massive server crashes after putting in a nice update, during a bonus weekend?

I want a place to store my characters for when all my stuff disappears.

Ditto!

[smatt]

Hmmm, nobody? Nobody? Well, guess I'll be the first.
