They said they'll merge the servers when it seems appropriate (presumably because of population dip or population spreading out enough). If they do that, it's probably a can't-miss strategy. The newbie and lowbie zones aren't overcrowded breaking the spirit of the casual folk. The higher zones won't be so sparse that there aren't groups to be had.




It seems like it's 80% pro and 20% con to me. The 12+ hours a day that are off-peak might be a bit thin with a split, and the overcrowding WAS forcing some people off the beaten path to see some more of Norrath.

Yeah it will really only help the peak hours of like 7 pm to midnight. The rest of the time the zones will feel more empty.

Anyone mention ask if /move could be done as often as you like? Why not just make it like, bluegh its camped here lets go to teal, or bleugh everyone that was toxic transfered lets go back to green now or bleugh lulz is here steeling my decayed skellies etc etc

IIRC Rogean said it was a one-way, permanent move.

Therefor, we will be implementing character moves using the /move (Short for /movelog) command. This will allow an instant, permanent, one-way transfer from Green to Teal. This will only be allowed for characters created prior to Teal's opening, and will only be open for the next 2 weeks.

There is no downside to this! There are only two continents with content on it and that is not enough for 2k+ players. It is perfect, however, for 1k-1.2k. The population will drop, but not like some people seem to think. When Kunark is released, that continent has so much more room, that they could merge them back together at any time at that point. This is a good thing!

I originally voted no, but this makes a lot of sense. It'll be nice to have a little more space.

Only concern I really can see is 2 boxing between Green/Teal is allowed could be abused heavily.

what are we doing this for tho, to simulate a classic server selection screen or make room for players?

Well, you could play multiple servers in classic, and those servers eventually merged. You couldn't hop servers, so it seems like that would be the way they'd go.
