    I don't think merging is optimal for this game, I do really like their ally system though so you don't get punished by being on a "dead/dying server". Since so much in this game is time gated I don't think they should ever merge servers to be honest. Some spenders have spent more and some might have spent less. The perception of their value of the spending they have done is based on how they perform/performed on their server. So having smaller servers merge together where there can be a lot of different tiers of spenders and some big whales fall behind cause they stopped spending might kill the servers or at least the player base even more.

      You hit the nail on the head. I'm on one of the lower activity servers and the Allied server system makes the most sense to me. If they suddenly drop all of us into a big population server with some megawhales I could see a bunch of us quitting.

      @@Unasinous The main issue is what criteria they are using to ally servers. At start of season 2, they decided to use 80 active players per server (based on my best guess) as the criteria to ally servers. This meant less than 10 dying servers got allied (excluding PTR-servers). IMHO, they need to ally ALL servers that has

    If a bunch of servers are merged and people go from first place to 50th place how do you think they’ll feel? Merging servers has never been a good idea. The same can be said with merging guilds in any game. After 40 years of playing games I’ve been through all of it and it’s just bad.

    S295 here, i am German and the Server is mostly too, there are a good number of active people and me, as a f2p who played since mid April, i have reached the higher ranks, because a good portion of players (mostly whales in the early stages of the game) left a few months after the global launch. I don't like the district in that we are in ( with 303 and 307), because there are active heavy spenders and it's difficult to maintain a spot in the Top 50/100 in Dr, Sup Arena or now, in the Ravaged Realm.
    In our server there are two to three main active guilds, but there is still a good difference between them, they're not on the same "level".

    S507 here, we got less than 150 people in the server and more are dropping these days. Leader of the first and most active guild in the server with 27 fairly engaged people atm, it's getting impossible to recruit without totally killing the other few guilds left. Allied servers have to be a must with season 3 (but make it easier to recruit!), merging servers on the other hand can be tricky (if they do that they could double the rewards tiers so that players keep getting the same rewards as before).

    If S444 is not 'allied' in 3 weeks then im not spending another cent on this game. I only play for the team events and this will become pointless once we run out of competitive/social (discord) players to recruit. which is imminent.
    And honestly, i dont think alliance to one equally weak server is going to help matters, it just kicks the can down the road for a month or so. There needs to be a fundamental restructuring.

    I guess my server isn't considered dying (S42), but I do know that I can't seem to find an English speaking guild on it that is accepting members. Most, if not all, of them are French. I'm not sure why I got dropped into a server with so many French players given I live in the USA, but it's a bit of a roadblock to having that community feel. The auto-translate is alright for small talk, but it's not really fun to interact when depending on it for important things and, obviously, it doesn't help me outside the game if the guild requires a Discord server or something.

      @agewisdom3442 18 часов назад

      The developers did some promotion at certain times to target certain countries. You probably joined S42 when there was a French promotion going on, so the vast majority of the players are French. Your only hope is a dying server with mostly English speakers is allied with S42 in season 3.

      I think it really depends on how you approach the game. From a competitive pov it's rather boring. Our guild basically dominates pvp/DR rankings. On the other hand, easy free rewards, so players enjoy this aspect. Allied servers did close to nothing though, as we got paired with another dead server(S318). Districts make things quite fun, luckily, as there are still plenty of active players there to challenge. BTW less than 50 players are doing DR daily now 😂.
