Wait... so does this mean we are going to have 20 character slots on a single account now? Or will there be a limit to how many characters Freyja can bring over? (Not a bad idea.)
I still don't get wp's judgement on this. I thought by now they would have realized that the merges of the past ended horribly because of loopholes and failed limitations and that this is not a solution. Pretty sure this merge will be handled just as poorly, resulting in another mass exodus of loyal players. Hell, that's the main reason I quit like 6 months ago (SEA merger anyone?).
If this is unavoidable then please, put in some REAL limitations. Let them bring their characters, bare, no gear. No zeny. All items bound(only able to destroy/sell to npc-NO TRADE). Give them a basic set of equip for their level. Make that all bound as well.
Then give each account a certain amount of Zeny. This shouldn't be a ridiculous sum. It should be enough to allow for item repairs, flight pathing, and other basic necessities to get a character mobile and able to function. (Think about this like a botter would. If they have x accounts, all that zeny combined together still should NOT = a large sum.)
better suggestions exist
It's not even hard to make zeny on odin. I see no realistic way to let them bring their zeny without WP f***ing it up and killing odin.
Just letting them bring their gear could mess it up(remember SEA removing runes from gear?). The way I see it, they're coming into the server. It's a convenience that you aren't making them start from lvl 1 or even ML1. That they get to keep their character's level progress should be enough.
If you let them bring whatever, then you're essentially saying "Hey you guys who decided to stick with us through all the sh!t on the first server, we don't care about you or your progress! So here, have some 'new' players who have 10x the things you do, can buy out your entire AH economy the instant they are merged over, and flood it with botted/duped items because we STILL can't do our jobs!"
