Hlo' Homins, rather tired but i shall type away, anyhow.

Don't mind this account, I have been playing since uh.. before the Wind and Arisp merger and have played up to mid-august

There is the thought at hand: Would you approve of an over all merger?

I rather explain in detail what i mean, the three shards remain separate and its best that way to ensure smooth performance. However i would like to see the player base merge. Not the forum, but English, French, German communities 'Player base' to merge. Compared to the top titles in the market SOR is close to nothing.

And if we don't stay together in these times on Atys things are bound to get dull, for instance most new players have this 'alone feeling' mostly because of their time zones. Sooner or later they'll leave. People who have no aim but to become a winner will stay.

I very well understand people are going crazy over this up coming Global Faction vs Faction and the diverse effects on transportation, but we as players don't have the power to change these 'Episode 2' and 'Chapter III' but we can have fun and make it a lot easier for our fellow players with co-operation, and to make this over all co-operation we need more players and the best and effective solution is an over all player-base merger. After all English Community is termed International Community on the registration itself, with that it will cause no harm but a lot of goodness.

Think positive guys, lets make this work. Make your vote! This will finally sync the story line, progress, events on all the shards. And will of course make many merry.

Ahh.. yes.

Those that are worried about the rankings on the stales of valor, i'm sure nervax will think of something, i would think of something myself but my head hurts.. uh.. enough about that. If you have a suggestion to counter the diverse effects of the player-base merger and the ep2 standings, shoot away.

EDIT : those that vote No, please state why. Thank you.

I understand the language and communication problems BUT understand that Jess and the Devs are going through the same thing

lots of miscommunications will happen...
and events, in what languages?

Well that is the issue least to be worried, events maybe in different languages but it can be in translated in English for user created events with co-operation ahead of time.

For official NPC triggered messages, that's the easiest as programming can get i.e if that particular player is from French Community, a French message will be displayed on his screens where as if he/she is from English Community it can be made to display the English version.

It all depends on detailed game plan which nevrax has yet to take under consideration..

what about event guides?

I'd rather see them merged and then re-split into a PVP non PVP setup.

events would be run simultaneously in multiple languages, you would suscribe to regional chats in your own language in the same way that you select what to appear in the user bar... these things are all easy to overcome, its an excellent and plausible idea

you're split into 2 zones already where you can nicely switch between what you want to do, what's your problem?
i like to pvp for a while, but also like to do other things

if they'd do that they'll have to make region chats for all other languages too

It creates a massive negative atmosphere to the game and brings in the type of people I'd really prefer not to play with since the PvP type attitude has a negative effect on the game elsewhere than in the zones as well. It would mean that the people who liked it would have their place where everyone liked exactly the same thing as them and the other servers inhabtants would be free to proceed in a more cooperative atmosphere.

isn't that what I said?
