should be a choice, keep all your pixels and move to blue, or transfer to teams99 with only no-drops

A red server will NEVER merge with a blue.

Straight from a GM.

This is my entire point. We need to focus on changes to red that builds people who want to level and pvp some and have fun. Rebuild from the ground up.

I wouldn't say never.

They mentioned it being possible this weekend.

If team99 ends up being more successful than red and red only has a couple PvE players left it could happen.

This was clarified after the stream as being a slip of the tongue.

T99 will merge into R99 or R99 will merge into T99 but never BLUE.

Even if there are only a couple people actively playing on R99, everyone will transfer their old R99 characters to the destination server before R99 is wiped for good. The sheer influx of plat / tradable items would wreak havoc on the destination server's economy, and I doubt the Devs would allow that to happen to Blue.

The server has low population for many reasons. Your point is only a small reason.

I hope they don't merge personally.

Fixing R99 and then releasing the T99 6 months after velious makes the most sense.

Why would you wait half a year to release a server people want now? No matter how many fixes you make to red it will never thrive, repeat, it's never going to thrive. Red is what it is, it's max is 160 pop, nothing more than that and velious will only exasperate the gear differential and make fighting nihilum impossible. Since we all agree a wipe is bad, a fresh server is the best of both worlds.

Team99 will attract a different brand of player moreso than take away from reds player base. It's attracting people who never were going to try red99 regardless of clickies or resists, and you're seeing this born out by the flux of new posters here and on the blue forums. I know you only rolled here when the server already was down the shitter, making its final circle down the sewage drain, so you prolly still have that rose tinted glasses optimism I had once, "if only they do x red will thrive," they've done x 100 times over here: global ooc, YT, boosted xp rates, remove exp loss from deaths, etc., now we are hearing just fix clickies / resists / variance and red will thrive. When are people going to realize this server is never going to thrive, the dream is dead, it doesn't mean some fun times can't be had occasionally, but the dream of 400+ concurrent pop will never occur here.

Bring on team99 and no merge plz.


Edit: I got plenty of play invested on red99, I'd much rather see the server thrive than a new server, believe me. But I'm also a jew and a realist, and two years in I know it's just not going to happen.
